What do you think of TAYLOR SWIFT'S FOOD LIST?

[AviatorTom]

Most performers have a list of foods, called a rider, that they request be in their dressing room at a venue they are performing at.

Here is Taylor Swift's list that she requests at every venue.

What do you think of her list?

If you were a performer, what would be on your list?

[OfDeath]

Where did you get that information?

Because that food is shit. I mean that is not food, it’s pure crap. Apart from the butter and the cheese, everything on that list is absolute garbage and not real food.

Chocolate milk - sugary shit.

Grape juice - don’t be fooled, this is hardly the juice from grapes and even that is not ideal anyway, it is processed sugary shit.

Corn chips - empty carbs and too much salt no doubt there is sugar added too - shit.

Butter - yeah ok as long as it isn’t margarine and is actually real butter that’s ok.

Pace Picante Sauce - sugary shit.

Shredded cheddar cheese - there are better cheeses to get but at least it will provide some nutrition and should be ok-ish. But this is going to be heavily processed and does skirt the line of being shit. Actually it definitely would be shit.

Macaroni cheese - shit with way too many added chemicals etc, not real food.

Twizzlers - utter shit. Nothing but unadulterated processed sugary shit. Nobody should ever eat this even as a sometimes food. Taylor Swift should be ashamed of herself for this one.

Ice cream - it’s sugary shit. One tub of that has about a small coffee cup of sugar in it. Total shit. Ok so it has some milk etc but serious shit other than that. This is something one should eat once in a blue fucking moon as a special treat like on your birthday or something.

Frozen flavoured yogurt - Same deal as the ice cream. Shit.

Popcorn - Salty shit full of chemical flavour enhancements etc.

Diet Pepsi - worse than shit. Actual Pepsi with the real sugar is better for you than this and regular Pepsi is shit. The sweetening agents in these actual trick your body into producing even more glucose and have been proven to seriously heighten the risk of cancer. Some even suggest it affects cognitive ability. Fucking shit.

Taylor Swift’s food is shit and she needs a wake up call. That’s disgusting.

What would be on my list if I was a performer? Eggs, fresh meat, fresh fruit and vegetables and water. Real food.

[MrOracle]

This isn't intended to be "food" per se - the "real" food is catered for the entire band and crew. These are all just special snacks and things on top of the real food. And likely much of it won't be used, or will be used by someone close to her on her team (a best friend, a parent, etc.)

As I mentioned earlier, these riders began in the 1960s, and it was mostly big rock bands who demanded booze and sometimes drugs be made available to them in their dressing rooms, and to this day, booze is an incredibly common rider demand. A country artist may ask for a 6-pack of beer or a bottle of Jack Daniels, while rappers often want Hennessy or some other high-end, expensive bottles, in addition to a long list of other things.

Musicians on tour have almost no time to themselves unless they have a whole day off. They roll into town and usually go to radio station interviews to promote their show in the morning, then to the venue in the early afternoon, and they are typically stuck at the venue until the end of the show sometime around midnight, when they load up on their bus and head out for the next city.

It's a very demanding and tedious life, and wanting some "comfort food" (snacks, really) is hardly an unreasonable demand. Especially when the act is generating a huge amount of money for everyone involved.

[MrOracle]

That's one of the mildest and most reasonable food riders I've ever seen.

Many rock stars and rappers require MULTIPLE bottles of booze and many other obscure or expensive things, so they can party with their posse or look like a big man with pricey stuff. Some demand things like big TVs and Playstations, food for a dozen people, etc. Taylor is asking for less than $100 of easily available stuff.

[DeeDeeDeVour]

Performances like Taylor's can build up an appetite.

If I crave for goodies, it's usually the following:

a. pint of Tillamook Mudslide ice cream

b. large Cadbury Milk Chocolate bar

c. large Cadbury Fruit & Nut bar

d. case of Dasani bottle water

e. large bag of Leslie's Clover chips

f. large bag of Mauna Loa Hawaiian Sea Salt dry roasted macadamia nuts

g. large bag of glazed pecans

[AviatorTom]

@DeeDeeDeVour Choco and Nuts, then wash it down with water. I like it!

[Razp_Sorbet]

This list was altered I assume in connection to the rumours going around about her weight right now which is disgusting.

Things that were also on the list;

• Edamame
• Shredded lettuce
• Tomato
• Avocado
• Orange
• Water
• Vegetable tray
• Pickles
• Olives
• Ham and Chicken luncheon meat
• Sliced cheese

[NamerOfStars]

Doesn't seem too unreasonable- quick carbohydrate calories- though you'd think she'd want some protein. And what does she use the butter for? The mac and cheese, maybe, but with chocolate milk? And THREE BOXES of it? I suppose SHE might like that combination, but that's more food than she can probably eat in one sitting; does she share it with her backstage personnel? I don't see that flavor profile being popular.

[handsomelad70]

I think she's five-eleven, about 125 lb.

[jazzyjic78]

Muscle milk vanilla/boost, Vibe Celsius energy drink, peanut butter granola bars, pineapples, cinnamon raisin bread, bananas, watermelon, white cheddar popcorn, electrolyte water, spring water, 7-up or Ginger ale, and fresh fried chicken wings and drumsticks. Chicken in a Biscuit crackers 😋 and Sam's club cheese cake with strawberries and blueberries 😋. Gotta have caffeine in the AM. Or you can scratch all that and just give me a 7 layer dip with Doritos and it has to have "Ground turkey in it, a fruit tray, and a ginger ale.

[Lynx122]

Seems very basic. If I was that rich I'd have my own personal chef or maybe even more than one and I'd sit down with them tell them all the kinds of food I like, the quality I expect and the amount of seasoning and stuff and then I'd just bring them with me.

Maybe this is like her cheat meal in a diet during a concert she gets to eat whatever she wants and this is her guilty pleasure. But I still think if someone cooked mac n' cheese it would be better. Or maybe it's a fake list that was just leaked to make her seem relatable who knows?

[avery58]

So I don't get these lists. Is she asking for all that food for her team? Or is she really eating all that by herself? If so, aren't these people sensitive about their weight or something? Or is she taking that all home? Cause if so then I'd find it stupid how after getting payed a high sum to perform and being millionaires they still get to take free food home when there are so many people who really need it.

[PBandJ_Nerd]

Not too much to say except that's a lot of dairy on there (don't overconsume on it please, you'll regret it the next day when you can't eat any dairy at all). I'd probably would want bread, peanut butter, jam, maybe some boneless wings, taco chex mix, carrots & celery, a bottle of water, a can of poppi soda, and ice cream. Not anything that can go bad and I can put it together quickly if I want. But it would all depend on what I choose to eat as like a dinner or if I'd just like a snack.

[RingOfFire]

I don't have a clue why people find Taylor Swift talented. I guess every generation has to have somebody to idolize... but seriously, that's what passes for talent now?

The food list looks like a recipe for a short life.

She looks pretty hot in that pic though! 😋

[diversethought]

Stick of butter? Taylor did you deep fry it first like Homer Simpson?

She must get a good workout on and off stage to keep that diet going. I'd take off a couple things, add tablespoons of pure honey. If country singer, just give me a steak, medium, a shot of whiskey and a beer.

[Anonymous]

it's obviously a fake list they "leaked" to make her seem more human. The real list would contain things like adrenochrome, vials of blood of small children, flies, bugs, a heat lamp and a rock for basking, a cauldron, black cats, and a new broom because she keeps breaking hers since every day became booty day at the gym.

[Daniela1982]

😂🤣😅

[purplepoppy]

1 stick of butter? I knew she took it up the backdoor.

I'd want

A selection of the local cheeses
A surprise ice-cream
A bowl of dried mixed nibbles like nuts and crisps
A bottle of crabbies ginger ale
A stick of butter

[Lynx122]

nice XD

[skidawgkc22]

I thought Taylor was a Coke person, so seeing Diet Pepsi - one half of the "Ed Kelce special" (along with Reese's cups) - on this list is a bit of a surprise. Also, I know she's a home cook but does she cook backstage?

[Razp_Sorbet]

I assume because of the start time of her show she's on stage from about 7pm she would have a largish lunch and snack before the show don't want to be running around and dancing for 3 hrs on a full stomach 🤢

[Nikki1989]

That list explains this ^

[diversethought]

Lmao

[Siri137]

Wow, no wonder she's putting on weight! "Diet" Pepsi, LOL. Fizzy drinks like Pepsi and Coca Cola are poisonous, doesn't she know that?

[hahahmm]

A walking bucket of toxic chemicals and sugar. But at her age (plus maybe with the help of weight loss drugs) you can't see the negative affect yet.

[Levin]

I doubt she eats all that.

You've got to be disciplined to be a performer at that level.

That involves being super careful about what you're eating, especially when you're touring.

[lightbulb27]

She's young and can get away with that. That won't work much longer as she's on the downhill slide.

Don't believe me, believe Michelle Obama.

[DrPepper12]

Her list seems... Fine? I would pull a Van Halen. Family size bag of M&Ms with red ones removed. If they saw red, they KNEW the promoter never read the contract. Any problems? Breach of contract counter suit!

[TommyMountainFigure]

Ill add my list shortly.
I was just lmfao at the DIET Pepsi at the end.. Like that is going to make any difference!

[TommyMountainFigure]

Here we go..

I'd like a George Forman Grill (for my steaks)
Organic Broccoli,
Whole Oven roasted Chickens cut into quarters
A selection of fresh organic fruit. Cherries, Plums, Apples, Pears,

It just occurred to me.. As soon as they heard me sing, ALL that would be taken away instantly!

[mandyfire98]

It's very random lol. Good thing she works out like crazy. Most of that stuff is beyond not healthy lol.

[chrissykerdock]

not good but i think she uses it for sex eg butter

[sheikalana]

This is the most childish food list I've ever seen. She's in her 30s still eating like a teenager.

[Amy10223]

I think she has a sweet tooth. Lots of junk food. Doesn't show on her body, though.

[FreyaRed]

Cheese and diary. She is a white girl and surely lactose intolerance isn't a topic for her.

[exitseven]

She is a walking garbage pail. I would have fruits and vegetables, bottled water, skim milk , loaf of Italian bread , peanut butter and jelly.

[DizzyDesii]

Twizzlers, chips/salsa and kraft mac cup 🤣 sounds like me

[OlderAndWiser]

It is not as extravagant as I expected it to be.

[RetroReviews]

She must do really small portion sizes on that kind of a list that's not healthy food at all

[shortster]

Sounds like she makes nachos, but do people use butter in their nachos? Maybe she adds it to her popcorn. Though I would think salty foods are not good before a performance for a singer.

[Anonymous]

Damn, she has terrible taste, lmfao. Very white American of her, it does not surprise me at all

[Anonymous]

I knew Republicans hated her because she isn't in the cult but some harsh responses here jeez. She sure doesn't look like she eats all that.

[jamesgoldman]

Seems reasonable, I'd have a bottle of Lagavulin 16, couple of Partagas cigars and a few steaks

[LiamS95]

She should change out the diet Pepsi for regular Pepsi.

[JohnK123]

Her songs aren’t even as catchy as Eminem’s Houdini

[Anonymous]

Girl likes her junk food! Nice! Kudos to her for not being an over the top douchebag diva. I'm going to guess Beyonce's list wouldn't be something you could purchase with a single trip to WalMart and a $50 bill.

[NathanDavis]

Tostitos with salsa... hell yeah

[ApplePie409]

I like part of her list.

[thisAppIsGarbage]

I don't think about Taylor Swift or food lists at all.

[mobiusforniner]

Sounds like the diet of a single person….

[CrabCakes11]

Doesn’t seem very healthy but it’s fine

[Dargil]

Sounds good to me.

[Booklover_90]

Seems like she eats like anyone else.

[Anonymous]

That’s enough to make her poop in her pants while performing

[handsomelad70]

So that's why she's so skinny !!!

[RedInnocent69]

I love her more and more, LOL!

[stvigor]

Is it Fabio, s

[jimmy2]

Looks good to me
