Sophia Ribeiro, 13, from West London, dubbed Taylor Swift a 'feminist' icon whose power extends beyond her songs
Since the release of Taylor Swift ’s hotly anticipated double album, ‘The Tortured Poets Department’, The Black Dog has since become a pilgrimage site for fans. Located in Vauxhall, London, just south of the River Thames, the pub has welcomed a flurry of visitors over the past weeks, all wanting to get a glimpse of the famed establishment.
Sophia said: “We thought there would be loads of Swifties here and I guess we were right.” No less than ten people were sitting at The Black Dog’s benches, discussing their favourite singer with new-found friends. “They say they want what’s best for her, but not really, because she has the right to do whatever she wants.”
The teen’s arms were laden with Taylor Swift friendship bracelets, all made by her hand, with too many to count. Sophia kindly offered one up for me, with one of Taylor's most iconic songs ‘Love Story’ written in beads. So why should people love Taylor Swift? “The thing is, she doesn’t do anything bad,” Sophia explained. “She fights for what’s right, and she fights for feminism. She fights for the good stuff.”Niamh’s mum agreed, praising Taylor for not ‘lowering herself' to his level. Sophia referred to the public fallout between Swift and US rapper, who was previously married to reality star and entrepreneur Kim Kardashian.
Fans also believed she referenced Kim Kardashian in her new song 'thanK you aIMee', which seemingly singles out Kim in capital letters. But Sophia disagrees with any negative connotation to the reference.
