TAYLOR SWIFT:“I don’t like seeing slide shows of guys I’ve apparently dated. don’t like giving comedians the opportunity to make jokes about me at awards shows. Taylor Swift  list steps to take on those who criticize her  method of relationship.

In liner notes for her latest album, Taylor Swift is addressing critics who scrutinized her love life.

The pop star, whose Friday release of “1989 (Taylor’s Version)” adds to her rerecording journey, wrote that she “decided to completely reinvent” herself at 24 years old before describing how she felt facing comments from the public and media over her relationships.

In this week’s liner notes, Swift wrote that she swore off doing “anything that could be weaponized against me by a culture that claimed to believe in liberating women but consistently treated me with the harsh moral codes of the Victorian Era.”
