"Our 18-year-old daughter has been a Taylor Swift fan since she was a toddler. We didn't really have a problem with it as it was harmless music and seemed to be a little empowering. But now with Swift's sexy new look, she wants to emulate that. I am getting constant demands now for clothes which are, let's face it, lingerie. I know I can disagree to the demands but, with the internet and everything, there isn't really much I can do."
"she wants to emulate that. I am getting constant demands now for clothes which are, let's face it, lingerie. I know I can disagree to the demands but, with the internet and everything, there isn't really much I can do. At this time of year, it's basically fancy dress season all the way from now to New Year's. I'm afraid she will go to a party dressed like that and embarrass herself. I am afraid for her reputation and online mischief."
An 18-year-old fan of Taylor Swift now wants to emulate Swift's sexier look and is requesting lingerie-style clothing. Parents previously tolerated the fandom as harmless and empowering, but current outfit demands feel inappropriate. The ubiquity of the internet and social media limits parental control and increases the risk of images spreading. The holiday and fancy-dress season raises the likelihood of attending parties in revealing outfits. Parents worry about immediate embarrassment, potential damage to reputation, and online mischief such as image sharing or misuse.
