Reese Witherspoon praises "great role model" Taylor Swift




Just weeks after Jake Gyllenhaal's famous exes bonded at the Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas, Reese Witherspoon has praised Taylor Swift during an appearance on Ellen on Thursay (April 21) to promote Water for Elephants.

Witherspoon was asked her what music her children listen to.

Reese said, “My son listens to Bruno Mars. My daughter loves Taylor Swift, she just thinks she’s so great. And I think she’s such a great role model, she writes her own music and she just expresses herself. She’s such a great artist.

All little girls should aspire to that, screw a lot of guys then write bitchy songs about them.
poison_sin 22nd-Apr-2011 01:59 pm (UTC)
she will be the perfect little girl
stargazed 22nd-Apr-2011 02:17 pm (UTC)
not once is it implied that she's screwing any of these guys. for shame, eric. :(
swizzlelove 22nd-Apr-2011 02:19 pm (UTC)
And nor should it matter if she is.
warsawed 22nd-Apr-2011 02:33 pm (UTC)
This comment smells of slut shaming tbh
poison_sin 22nd-Apr-2011 01:58 pm (UTC)
LOL @ Taylor Swift being any kind of role model
swizzlelove 22nd-Apr-2011 02:36 pm (UTC)
She is MY role model. Does that count?
eatincake 22nd-Apr-2011 02:56 pm (UTC)
maybe for aspiring beards everywhere.
shesceltic 22nd-Apr-2011 05:14 pm (UTC)
for little girls? who listen to the radio? what artist might you prefer to be a role model
kwikimart 22nd-Apr-2011 07:18 pm (UTC)
Willow Smith. I know she's just a kid but all she ever sings about are self empowerment and being strong and confident and that is actually not that common in mainstream music since women can be sassy but rarely strong/bold and I think Willow (and her team) are good for sending that message.

I thought Ava was supposed to have sophisticated musical taste?
starchain 22nd-Apr-2011 02:03 pm (UTC)
exactly, last time she was a beatles fan
mellawe 22nd-Apr-2011 02:43 pm (UTC)
That's only when she's with her father
woollymammoth 22nd-Apr-2011 02:00 pm (UTC)
One beard to another.

Also, I didn't realize that flying through men for the sake of writing songs about them is what young girls should aspire to do.
expromqueen 22nd-Apr-2011 02:01 pm (UTC)
lol she's a role model cause she writes songs? a LOT of ppl have written songs...she's got lazy mom logic
swizzlelove 22nd-Apr-2011 02:14 pm (UTC)
I think that was Reese meant was that she likes the way Taylor's songs are written and therefore thinks she is talented, and that she admires her for that talent.
wicky_wicky 22nd-Apr-2011 02:45 pm (UTC)
to be fair she has a lot more to do with her career than just writing the songs...
warsawed 22nd-Apr-2011 02:01 pm (UTC)
Taylor Swift IS a role model

And Reese Witherspoon is better known for the things she does on the mattress.
fil0li 22nd-Apr-2011 02:06 pm (UTC)

kevonmartini10 22nd-Apr-2011 03:17 pm (UTC)
I hate that she dates only famous guys.
thewitness 22nd-Apr-2011 03:26 pm (UTC)
well, where exactly is she going to meet "normal" guys these days? she's surrounded by the hollywood/music environment, so she's bound to rub elbows with more A-listers and "famous" people than your average girl.
bellarouze 22nd-Apr-2011 04:56 pm (UTC)
um she has in the past... but obviously it not talked about as much
....thats a weird reason to dislike her though, she is famous after all
shesceltic 22nd-Apr-2011 05:16 pm (UTC)
she doesn't. which is evident in her music
pseudovirus 22nd-Apr-2011 06:42 pm (UTC)
she doesn't.
ascendings 22nd-Apr-2011 03:26 pm (UTC)
when has she slut shamed others? (legit question i don't follow anything she says)

Taylor Swift, the amazing role model of how to ensure your daughter revolves her life around men and believes that the only way to be happy is if her white knight comes along and promises her a fairy tale ending. And if he doesn't, you'll just sit on your porch and cry on your guitar.
allyriaallyrion 22nd-Apr-2011 03:09 pm (UTC)
Mte.

How many fairy tale romances has she gone through in her short life ?
swingthatfocus 22nd-Apr-2011 03:13 pm (UTC)
amen. this is exactly why i can't stand her music. she makes girls sound pathetic.
xtinkerbellax 22nd-Apr-2011 03:45 pm (UTC)
Ugh, the most annoying type of girl is the one you just described.
saffronshire 22nd-Apr-2011 06:07 pm (UTC)
Exactly. She writes her own songs, that's nice, but I want more for my kids.
kwikimart 22nd-Apr-2011 07:20 pm (UTC)
I LOVE YOU. She is actually one the worst role models for young girls in this day and age.
There's nothing wrong with love and liking boys but there is something wrong with having your whole life revolve around the pursuit of a man.
zeriyx 22nd-Apr-2011 02:10 pm (UTC)
do you guys think reese can touch her forehead with her reptilian chin jw
stfuabel 22nd-Apr-2011 02:43 pm (UTC)

lollll
swizzlelove 22nd-Apr-2011 02:12 pm (UTC)
She is a huge role model for me.
Preparing to get angry as hell over this post and everyone in it.
Bring it on, bitches. And oh, don't use 4 year old songs to prove how immature she is this time.
zeriyx 22nd-Apr-2011 02:14 pm (UTC)
anyway
swizzlelove 22nd-Apr-2011 02:15 pm (UTC)
I don't understand you.
iamalreadyinuse 22nd-Apr-2011 02:58 pm (UTC)
I support you!

Homegirl is just looking for a steady bf and is having no luck! At least she's not a Miley or Demi or any other messed up girl in Hollywood.
so_patriarchal 22nd-Apr-2011 04:59 pm (UTC)
i like tswift, but her latest album is stuffed with slut shaming, treating boys as objects, and hating on other women while daydreaming about stealing their husbands
shesceltic 22nd-Apr-2011 05:22 pm (UTC)
she is a role model. everyone hating on her here have their same three arguments involving some kind of preaching about society and how she destructs it- when in this case specifically, she is a role model. i'd love to hear what other entertainers on the radio someone would prefer their daughter listening to than taylor swift.
pseudovirus 22nd-Apr-2011 06:43 pm (UTC)
ia.

i've met her and honestly she is just so fucking nice. why shouldn't girls look up to her? she's normal and she has her head on straight.
phillymademe 22nd-Apr-2011 02:14 pm (UTC)
i like Taylor's dress in that picture.
