As we discussed last week, Amber Rose has a new VH1 talk show, and she’s been making the media rounds to promote it. To give people a preview of all of the sh-t talk that’s going to go down, Amber has been answering questions about Kanye and the Kardashians. And now she’s answering questions about Kanye Kardashian’s nemesis, Taylor Swift. I should mention that I’m actually interested in Amber’s talk show, which is being produced by Dr. Phil, mostly because I want to see how Amber’s sex-positive/anti-shaming branding works in the context of a talk show. But Amber is going for it: she wants to encourage sex-positivity around the Tiddlesbanging. Amber wants you to know that Taylor doesn’t have to give her biscuit a rest. From the Daily Beast:

I asked Rose about the recent Nicholas Sparks-ish photographs depicting Swift and Tom Hiddleston canoodling on some rocks by the water (Swift recently split from the Scottish DJ Calvin Harris).

“I did see that and I think she’s f–king awesome,” Rose said of Swift. “I mean, I don’t know if it’s staged—but that’s how it is! I was on a private beach in Maui—you literally had to drive three hours from the airport to get to this beach—and paparazzi still caught me. I saw it on TMZ the next day and I couldn’t even believe it. I thought that was a safe place, and it was not. I can’t go anywhere in the world. It’s ridiculous.”

The author of How to Be a Bad Bitch also feels there’s a silly double standard employed when it comes to Swift. If she were, say, an uber-famous male musician, there wouldn’t be so much judgment when it comes to her rebound flings—or, for that matter, her famous lovers period.

“I love Taylor, for sure. Absolutely. And I feel like guys do that all the time—they break up and the next day they’re with another girl and nobody really says anything. But with Taylor it’s, you know what, I’m done with Calvin [Harris] and it didn’t work out, so on to the next. It is because it’s unheard of, and she’s acting very ‘slutty’ and for some reason needs time to ‘let her p-ssy rest.’ That’s how people look at it, and it’s just like, hell no! If I’m done, why do I have to sit in the house and be lonely?”

I agree with Amber almost completely. I would nitpick and say that we do throw shade on men who move on very quickly, or men and women who have jumpoffs waiting in the wings. Like, I’ll always think Adam Levine is a douchebag for the way his romantic life played out with Nina Agdal, Behati (who became his wife) and Anne V. As for Taylor moving on with Tom Hiddleston so quickly, I thought it was such a baller move, the perfect way for Taylor to tell the world that she was moving on and that Calvin Harris is a sucky baby. Women don’t need to “give their p-ssy a rest” although… I do think we, as a society, judge men and women who jump from relationship to relationship with the speed of light. We judge people who can’t be alone. But that’s not Taylor – she did the “alone” thing as part of her branding around the album release of 1989. I can’t wait to see how she brands herself for the next album. “I’m Getting Mine” or “Taylor the Player,” maybe?
