Dear Taylor, we don't really give a damn. Love, your cats

There are days when I really enjoy my job and days when the thought of having to do this job for one more day makes me want pull my hair out.  I’m sure it’s the same for everyone else.  While we are all grateful to have a job, the mental and/or physical demands of the job take a toll.  Some days your job can be so difficult you begin to wonder if it’s worth it.  At least it is that way for some of us.  For Taylor Swift, not so much.

Recently, she gave an interview to explain the demands of being a pop star.  She said “It is not that hard, I’m telling you not it’s really not.  When you walk off stage and you’re drenched in sweat and you’re tired and your legs hurt . . . . It really feels like you are working for the job.  It’s nice to feel tired after a show.  I’m like ‘Oh my God, I’m finally doing something.” 

My question is did anyone think that being a pop star was that hard to begin with?  Probably not.   

If you take your run of the mill pop star I am sure you will agree with me when I say that these celebrities have a cake walk when it comes to their so called "job".  Their "work days" more than likely consist of photo shoots, award shows to attend, red carpets to walk, endorsement deals to agree to, parties, charity events, and updating their social media.  Oh the effort it takes to do these things.  I just can't even imagine.  How in the world do they handle the demands of preparing for an interview while having to simultaneously mention their “new favorite” brand of lip stick on their twitter and Instagram account?  I just feel so sorry for them.  It’s amazing they have the time to work in all that shopping and eating out at nice restaurants given the constraints of their jobs.

Who do these celebrities think they are fooling?  Do they think that we think they have it that bad?  Of course there are aspects of their life that are difficult, but I’m sure the personal assistants, chefs, housekeepers, drivers, and what not make it more than bearable. 

Maybe I’m being too hard on Taylor Swift and for that matter the rest of the pop stars.  Maybe we don’t know what their life is really like until we walk a mile in their Manalo Blahniks or Pradas or Louis Vittons.  But regardless of what we as the public find out about our beloved celebrities, at the end of the day it really doesn't matter.  You can be a celebrity that takes your craft seriously and devotes endless hours to producing the best of its kind or you can be Lindsay Lohan.  You see we don't love celebrities because of their work ethic.  Most of the time we love them in spite of their work ethic.  We don't need them to put on a facade to mask how easy they have it.  It only insults us and makes them look naive.  

If we have to play the role of adoring fan who empathizes for our Hollywood A-listers for their difficult jobs then so be it.  We will ooh and aah at the sacrifice that they make on account of their “work".  We will even nod in agreement when Taylor Swift says the hardest thing about being a pop star is leaving her cats.  

Taylor if you are reading this just know we agree with you.  Leaving your cats to go on a world tour that will make you even more rich and famous has to be so hard.   Just remember that your cats wouldn't want you to be sad.  They would want you to be, wait we are talking about her cats right?   Well then they probably haven't realized you are gone and if they did more than likely they don't give a damn.

I'm amazed she has the ability to get through this workday.
