Do you think she's happy?
>>130404871"Celebrity, even the modest sort that comes to writers, is an unhelpful exercise in self-consciousness. Celebrity is a mask that eats into the face. As soon as one is aware of being ‘somebody,’ to be watched and listened to with extra interest, input ceases, and the performer goes blind and deaf in his over animation. One can either see or be seen. Most of the best fiction is written out of early impressions, taken in before the writer became conscious of himself as a writer. The best seeing is done by the hunted and the hunter, the vulnerable and the hungry; the ‘successful’ writer acquires a film over his eyes. His eyes get fat. Self-importance is a thickened, occluding form of self-consciousness. The binge, the fling, the trip — all attempt to shake the film and get back under the dining room table, with a child’s beautifully clear eyes."John Updike, Self-Consciousness.As to whether TayTay is happy, I can't tell. I know Katy Perry certainly isn't happy. She has openly expressed she wishes she could stop being Katy Perry.
>>130404871>millionaire>getting railed by a footballerWhy wouldn't she be
who cares? are you happy?
>>130404949no, because I'm not with her
>>130404965find your own woman. also even if taylor swift was with you she'd probably leave you in six months. also go exercise, eat well, and do all you should
>>130404871>Do you think she's happy?Doubtful, her future is bleak indeedFame is such a fickle beast, the only thing we love more than building up a pop star is tearing them downHopefully she won't get the brutal public trainwreck teardown that MJ, Britney and Bieber all gotThe best she can hope for is basically Madonna, a slow decline from global fame into total irrelevance, but at least she's alive and still has pots of cash
>>130404915Lol his name is updyke.
>>130405141look at this cliche machine. of course she's happy. imagine believing that lots of money doesn't make one happier. you forgot the >she can't even go out in publicas if being around the public is a good thing. anyone with half a brain knows being around people is only good if most of those people are drugged.
she was so much better before they started giving her estrogen
happiness is a choice
>>130405732peak
she was seen today at front row cavs/knicks nba game with travisthey were trying to hype up the crowdthey looked happy
>>130404871Uh yeah for the most part. She had a full social and dating life before travis, she has experienced more than 99.9% of people on earth, does what she loves and is so rich she only works if and when she wants to. If the "fame" bullshit gets to her she is rich enough to fuck off to a compound or a resort of her choosing where she will live like royalty. Im sure she is ok.

>>130404871>t. sour grapes faggot who's mad he never got any sort of significant sustained fame, and is now trying to demonize itUpdike can go fuck himself. You're a tard for parroting this deranged retard's ramblings.
>>130406447Meant for >>130404915.
>>130404871Realistically speaking, she's probably moderately happier than the average person. The annoyance and burden of a star being outweighed by the highs of her presence and influence.The average person her age is actually not doing that well right now. Generally,old people tend to be happier, so the real test is if she'll be happier in her 60s of 70s than the average person. Which I will say, I have no idea.
>>130406462>>130406447It's a sharp observation that's worth sharing. As to the man himself, I must admit I know very little, but that entire passage fits the theme of this thread.
