I concur. Very now (I'm not now, I'm then).

I'm not going to complain as I can offer nothing as an alternative. 

[grilladelphia]

I think there's going to be some really decent alternatives as I would think its pretty obvious to be a bit of a polarising booking. well... its probably also a bit obvious there will be decent alternatives as its Glastonbury.. but you know what I mean, maybe someone quite heavy to balance it out.. (praying for RATM still!)

[shuttlep]

I Think she is a great booking, speaking to my mates it's a big split . 

 

Taylor Swift..... she's martmite

 

you know that ginger bollocks will come on stage with her , 

but people will love her massive sing along , great feelings

 

I will be some where else , but good booking . 

 

the Eavis video reminded me of this

I'm generally fairly now but still am not a fan at all. Glad to have a night away from the pyramid though because I'll be at kendrick & macca for sure

[prestonmike]

must be a sign of getting old that i couldnt name any of her songs! hoping for something similar to the year Beyonce headlined when we had Queens of the Stone Age on the other stage

[Harry_W01]

Absolutely fantastic! I've been a secret Taylor Swift lover for ages as it isn't 'cool' in my friend group, will not be missing this for the world!!

That’s why this forum is a fun place to chat Glastonbury. Way more respectful than other corners of the internet 

I've had to leave both Glasto Chat and Glasto Goers on Facebook. Consistently bonkers the comments on there.

I leave and rejoin that group constantly. I realised last year that the demographic on there is very different as to the one I'm in so didn't rejoin this time around. After many comments of last years 'Foals should have headlined, it was a bad festival because they didn't' atitude.

It's Yannis's own fans that have turned him to drugs.

[Homer]

There isn't an option for 'I almost definitely wouldn't see her and I don't have a ticket anyway'.

[Paul_F]

I'm in the not my bag and will be elsewhere camp. Get the excitement though as clearly a lot of people are in the "someone will have to unchain me from the railings" group.

[grumpyhack]

The glory of Glastonbury is that there is usually something for everyone.  I don't really know TS but will listen to some of her stuff over the coming months and may surprise myself.  But if she doesn't float my boat I'm certain that I'll find something else that will.

[Gnomicide]

I hate Shake It Off with a passion, quite like Blank Space and largely dislike most other stuff I've heard on the radio. Thanks to the good folk on here though, I'm aware there's more to her than radio pop gubbins. I've therefore listened to a fair bit of her old stuff and was pleasantly surprised to find that despite my initial scepticism, it's mostly awful. 

[DJL]

If I get a ticket and there isn't someone I am super excited about I'd be up for it. If I'm volunteering and have to sacrifice her to watch Macca I will (though would possibly sacrifice Kendrick over her). Greta booking generally though

Close the post, this is over ???????

[Deaf Nobby Burton]

Expectation - not my thing, will see it as an excellent opportunity to go and see something elsewhere.

Reality - my closeted ‘you should never miss a headliner’ mate will insist we all watch her, so I’ll end up being there.

[Homer]

Has there been a backlash then? I saw a tweet earlier referring to lots of complaints.

Not particularly any more or less than when anyone else has been announced tbh.

[John the Moth]

Every other comment on the official announcement tweet seems to mention being or staying “pressed”. What the hell is that all about?*
 

 

 

*am I old?

Solid opening, lovely build up and a solid bait and switch to finish with a punchline that's amusing without being offensive.

9/10

How I feel about Macca. 

It’s how I feel about Macca too ?‍♀️ But there’ll be plenty to keep me happy away from the Pyramid.

[CrunchyFrog]

I've been very hesitant of sharing the rumour with my other half thinking h'll go "ah bugger it's all shit I don't want to go" as he can be very funny when it comes to headliners but I was shocked that he said "I really like some of her stuff"  ?

 

For me its about everything that Glastonbury is all about but my other half loves live music and we're going to see Paul Weller next year in Amsterdam and The Who in somewhere I forget ? but Glasto is a big deal for us as we have to travel from Jersey and because of my "different abilities" we need a motorhome so as we sold ours 6 years ago (which was the last time we managed to get tickets) we now have to hire one, so it's our holiday of the year we leave Jersey on the Monday before and leave on the following Monday so its near enough a whole week which but we've agreed no Christmas pressies just our trip to Glastonbury is our big treat. 

 

So when I managed to get tickets there was some heavy celebrations now OH is up for the fest in all its glory and we may lurk around the Pyramid longer than normal is a surprise ?

[gherkin8r]

When these headliner polls have been held in prior years has the reaction ever been as tepid as this? 63% finding it unlikely they would go to see Taylor seems pretty high. 

[whitehorses]

I’ve gone to Glasto without the missus for several years now. When I told her Taylor Swift was playing is the first time she was properly pissed off about G and actually looked like she might ban me from going... Haha
