Why Bill Maher Needs To Keep Taylor Swift’s Name Out Of His Mouth

Swifies are starting to wonder if Bill Maher is more than a little obsessed with Taylor SwiftGiven the frequency to which his name seems to be getting out of his mouth lately.

Even when he talks about the current American president Donald TrumpThe 69-year-old actor always finds a way to connect him to the singer “anti-hero” and her meeting story.

It is not difficult to remember the “Girl Squad” era of Taylor Swift, which was a deliberate attempt to prevent the media from speaking together. Despite her Eras tour which was successful (which she recently finished last December), it seems that some people are still stuck in 2014.

Friday, March 7, during an episode of “Real Time With Bill Maher” by HBO, Maher decided to raise the name of Swift while he was talking about … prices?

“This world is so upside down,” said Maher. “It took Trump three weeks to break up with Ukraine and Mexico and Canada. And yet, Taylor Swift has had the same boyfriend for over a year. »»

He quickly added: “It’s okay. She can take it.

Growing teeth, a lot? If you want to tell a joke on Taylor Swift, see at least funny.

Although Swift is known for his very publicized relationships, they do not define his career. Her albums “Folklore” and “Evermore” were published when she was in her longest relationship to date. Swift dated “the brutalist actor” Joe Alwyn From 2017 to the start of 2023, which scored about six years together.

Although their relationship has inspired many songs in several albums, they have not defined some of his most popular songs. “Shake It Off” is a song about overcoming it negativity, while “Anti-Hero” addresses its own insecurity. Another song from his album “Midnights” in 2022, “Bejeweled”, also replied to his concerns about his own self -esteem.

This only comment could go unnoticed if Maher did not bring Swift so often. In July 2024, after she and Kelce had been going out together for about a year, Maher took a moment to make another blow in her meeting story.

This comment occurred on his podcast “Club Random”, during an interview with Hailey WelchWho is better known as the “Hawk Tuah girl”.

“I’m sure he’s a charming person, but all with the football player,” said Maher. “I just felt like 35 was a bit old to say to herself:” My boyfriend is a football player, and I wear his jersey with his number on it! ” I mean, come on.

Welch, 21, seemed to be a little confused and rebuilt on his comment. “Everything that makes her happy. If that’s what she wants to do and it makes her happy, it has nothing to do with me, “she replied.

Apparently impatient to continue soaking on Swift, Maher replied: “Is he going to throw it away, however, do you know?” Adding: “With her, it’s like the Gatorade to the Super Bowl, you know you are going to make yourself drop. You don’t know when.

Taylor Swift has country roots, so it seems more than a little weird that Maher thought he was going to get a high-fi when he spoke to Country Star Luke Bryan On another episode of his podcast “Club Random” in February.

“Yeah, music works or that is not the case,” said Maher at the time. “But as a human, I have great admiration, because being so far in the stratosphere and doing nothing stupid, being always a good model, fundamentally. You know, she had a bunch of little friends … “

“The only thing people can say about it [is] Did she have little friends? Bryan, 48, asked, but Maher quickly changed the subject.

Of course, he did, because suddenly, it is not as fun to discredit a woman’s success when you speak to another man who defends her.

The exchange of Maher with Bryan somehow strikes the nail on the head. Maher seems intimidated by the success of a woman, especially when he is not linked to a man. It seems desperate to say that Swift is only popular because of her ex-friends friends, that she has built her career because of the male influence in her life. For occasional observers, it could be true, but only because the media want to pretend.

Many people who have never heard of the “tortured poets department” know that “So High School” and “Alchemy” seem to concern its current beautiful, Travis Kelce, because it continues to make the titles. The media rarely discuss Swift songs that do not focus on his love life. The only exception to this could be her “anti-hero” clip, in which she has received a considerable amount of backlash to use the word “fat” on its scale (it has since been deleted from official video).

I am in no way a rapid apologist. I know she said and did quite problematic things, but that’s not exactly the point here, right? We have once again an older man trying to discredit the achievements of a younger woman, or if he recognizes them, attribute them to the men of her life.

Would Taylor Swift still be a familiar name if she went to Yale and wrote songs on the tests and tribulations of the Faculty of Law? Probably not, but she became so famous because she wrote songs on her emotions and her romantic difficulties in a way that many find very relatable. Being able to use the song and the lyrics to put in words a particular feeling is a very difficult competence to achieve, but it seems that Swift has mastered that from an early age, and that is why it is so successful today.

The “she only writes songs about her boyfriend” is so old, it is difficult to believe that we always have conversations on this subject in 2025. Maher seems so stuck in 2014; Maybe Taylor Swift should write a song on returning it there.

Out of curiosity, I entered the chatgpt and asked him to write a song on the dismissal of Bill Maher in 2014 in the style of Taylor Swift. And, here

“Back to 2014”
(In the style of Taylor Swift)

Verse 1:
You think you are intelligent with your words,
But all you do is stirred the nerves,
Try to act as if you had good
But, baby, you lost your light.

Your jokes do not strike as they did,
You think you are pissed off, but you have crossed a few,
Now I have finished with all the diatribes you say,
It’s time to send you far.

Pre-chorus:
So pack your bags, get into the car,
Let’s go back, let’s go back where you are,
We will leave behind this modern show,
And see yourself disappear in a period that we know.

Choir:
I refer Bill Maher to 2014,
When you were funny and a little less obscene,
More of this bitter and sarcastic act,
It’s time to take you to the past.
We will just press Rewind, and it’s over,
Back to when you were a little more daring,
But now it’s clear – there is no going back,
Bill Maher, you come back.

Verse 2:
Your cynicism is cold,
As if you are stuck in old days,
It may be time to take a break,
And leave these jokes tired in the awakening.

We all laughed, now we are torn apart,
Taken in the world you have done so worn,
So I send you where you belonged,
In the past where you felt so hard.

Pre-chorus:
So pack your bags, get into the car,
Let’s go back, let’s go back where you are,
More of this debate and this fight,
We will put you back under the spotlight, right?

Choir:
I refer Bill Maher to 2014,
When you were funny and a little less obscene,
More of this bitter and sarcastic act,
It’s time to take you to the past.
We will just press Rewind, and it’s over,
Back to when you were a little more daring,
But now it’s clear – there is no going back,
Bill Maher, you come back.

Bridge:
Oh, we were all so young,
When you laughed with a different language,
But the world has changed and you too,
It is now time for a new point of view.

Choir:
I refer Bill Maher to 2014,
When you were funny and a little less obscene,
More of this bitter and sarcastic act,
It’s time to take you to the past.
We will just press Rewind, and it’s over,
Back when you were a little more daring,
But now it’s clear – there is no going back,
Bill Maher, you come back.

Outro:
Back to 2014, Oh, Oh,
Back to 2014, let’s go …
Where the jokes were light,
And the world felt good.
Bill Maher, back to 2014 …
We will leave you in the past,
Where you were at your best.
