Taylor Swift and Anna Marie Tendler drama explained
Anna Marie Tendler previously became a topic of discussion on social media after making a surprising claim about Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour. She accused Swift of drawing inspiration from one of her own art pieces for the stage setup during the performance of the song “Tolerate It.”
In a TikTok video, Tendler first showed fan-filmed footage from Swift’s concert, highlighting the set design for “Tolerate It.” In the said video, the singer is seen in a striking orange dress interacting with a dining table setup. Tendler then compared this to one of her own photographs, priced at $5,000, suggesting that the similarities in tone and aesthetics were too close to be coincidental.
The artist expressed her frustration with the caption, “What the f**kkkkk?” and asked her followers for help. She questioned whether this was an example of parallel thinking or if her work had been copied. The video quickly went viral, and Tendler faced significant backlash from the online community. Many viewers suggested she might be seeking attention by accusing a high-profile artist like Swift.
Amid the criticism, Tendler deleted the video and set her account to private. She later clarified that her original post was intended as a joke or satire. Tendler wrote, “Hi! This was meant to be a joke. Most of my videos are jokes or satire! When I realized it wasn’t landing as a joke, I deleted it. Didn’t mean offense.” (via BuzzFeed News)
Despite Tendler’s clarification, opinions remain divided. Some supporters defended her, arguing that the video was clearly meant as a joke. Others, however, remained unconvinced, suggesting that the artist’s retraction was a reaction to the negative response.
