Technically, Taylor was snubbed when the short list of potential contenders was released in December sans All Too Well: The Short Film (also commonly referred to as a “music video” lol). So we already knew 2023 wasn’t going to be the year we got to add “Oscar Winner” to Dr. Taylor Allison Swift’s resume. But still—as a longtime, dedicated fan, I can’t help but feel like not only was I, personally, robbed of an Oscar, but I was also robbed of another Swift acceptance speech wherein she announces a new album or that she’s finally established her own country or something. —LT
