Last week, we heard that a mom used a bunch of Taylor Swift quotes in a note asking that her daughter be excused from school to see Taylor’s show in Houston. And now, here comes the rebuttal . . .A school superintendent in Florida named Addison Davis sent out a letter warning her kids NOT to miss school on Friday because they went to Taylor’s show tonight in Tampa. And yeah, she used Taylor’s own songs against her. She said, quote, “I understand I am the Anti-Hero here, and Call It What You Want, but You’re on Your Own Kid if you think being a Swiftie is a good excuse for missing important instruction. “You know All Too Well you Should’ve Said No to attending a Thursday night concert. Especially one from an artist who is known for putting on a three-hour AMAZING show.” All You Had to Do Was Stay in class. I hope there is not a Blank Space in your seat on Friday morning. It could be a Cruel Summer if you prioritize being a Swiftie over being in class. You Belong with Me, Me! in school.
Do you ONLY hang out with like-minded people? Y’know, you have the same set of principles . . . and agree on most things? Well, then, you’re NOT like Justin Moore. To him, a friend is a friend, no matter what they believe. This came up as he was talking about”Everybody Get Along”, his song with Riley Green. “I have friends who live their lives the same way that I do, and I have friends that live their lives completely separate than I do. “And guess what? We’re still great friends, and we still have great dialogue. We can still have conversations and fun with each other. And we can disagree and still love each other. To me, that’s the great thing about our country.” Justin recommends “chilling out”, instead of bickering and arguing all the time. “Let’s just have a beer together, and if we agree to disagree, we can high-five or hug, or whatever, and still go watch a ball game or do whatever it is we wanna do.”
