Taylor Swift Faces Backlash for Lyric Saying She Wants to Live in the 1830s
‘I Hate It Here,’ one of 31 new songs on Taylor Swift’s new double album, includes a lyric saying she wants to live in the 1830s ‘without all the racists’
The Tortured Poets Department double album runs more than two hours long and contains 10,663 words, according to a noble soul at The Ringer who spent 45 minutes counting them up, but this one line is standing out among social media critics. Other listeners were quick to point out that the 1830s were best known, historically, for the Indian Removal Act and Trail of Tears, in which around 60,000 Native Americans were forcibly displaced from their homes, with many dying in the process.
