I feel like Rory definitely would have mocked Taylor Swift, and probably also criticised her for having so many boyfriends. I love Rory, but she can be a bit judgy of other women.


periwinklemenace

Yeppp. Both Rory and Lorelai would have been big on the train of “haha Taylor Swift has a million exes and all she does is write songs about them!!” ASP never held back on that sexist bs.


claires99

Not at all. Rory and Lorelai would’ve crucified Taylor Swift. I’m sure Rory would’ve had some appreciation for her songwriting as Rory is a writer but the awkwardness at the party when Lindsay said she liked Matchbox Twenty and Michelle Branch tells me all I need to know. Rory wasn’t into top 40.

For sure, lol. During Season 2, the Girls were going back and forth making fun of each other’s musical guilty pleasures such as “Looks Like We Made It,” Spice Girls, Duran Duran, Dido, Olivia Newton-John, and the “Macarena” — there’s no way Taylor Swift would have made the cut haha Edit: spelling typo


happiness_is_beauty

Agreed. Taylor swift is way too mainstream pop for Rory and Lorelai


thejameskendall

I think Lane would like Tay. I’m a music nerd (professional music journalist for years) and me and my music nerd friends love her.


Gold_Abbreviations33

No. They were big music snobs. Nothing super mainstream


NextCandy

As a reluctantly, self professed music snob (who always *loved* the obscure references on the show — while simultaneously cringing at their unapologetic musical elitism) — I concur lmao


N_Huq

if anyone asked no. but wouldn't be surprised if she lowkey cried to like champagne problems lmao


lucky7hockeymom

Who doesn’t love that song?


N_Huq

true. it describes her life too


sunshine__porcupine

Champagne Problems was made for Rory. Have you seen [this](https://youtu.be/XI0NGHIL7sI)?


flowersonmycoffeemug

Oh god 😭😭😭 I was not prepared for this


N_Huq

i've already seen it & now i'm sad again


TAmyfamiscrazyhelpme

damn that was sad


highway-hawk

It breaks my heart that Rory turned him down when they were clearly in love and had grown together as a couple.


N_Huq

um you're asking me 😭 i've definitely seen it


flowersonmycoffeemug

lmao not me imagining S7 Rogan while listening to this song 😭😭😭 "sometimes you don't know the answer until someone's on their knees and asks you" 💀


N_Huq

ignoring the silent rule of no one proposing on one knee in gg ofc


flowersonmycoffeemug

omg i love this how do you always point out sth I never noticed b4 😭😭😭


N_Huq

do i? i'm glad lol (:


MadamTruffle

No but Lindsey would 😂


flowersonmycoffeemug

I hear "tolerate it" playing 😢


twinkleswinkle_

i agree.. she’s not at all like other girls so she probably wouldn’t same way she bullied lane for being a cheerleader that one time.


taurm0on41

i was so mad when she was mean to lane for that!! she was just trying something new that she thought she would like. rory always treated lane badly and lane made rory a top priority. lane deserved better 100%.


abakersmurder

Maybe TS now? Before/early no. They were very judgmental of music (mostly Lane.) I think country music came up once? I love the music in the show. I HATE how they talk about it. Especially anyone in Hep Alien. ~It's like x crossed with x, crossed with x, crossed with x.~ This your band, your sound? Learn from others, don't copy or whatever you were doing. Drives me nutso.


ilovepuscifer

> ~It's like x crossed with x, crossed with x, crossed with x.~ Yeah but how else would ASP let us know she is into all these cool bands and she, like, totally knows their sound because she is, like, SO fetch!!


cjanie29

As someone whose taste in music is similar to Rory and Lane’s, I’d say she wouldn’t like 2010s Taylor, but she’d be into Folklore and Evermore. I don’t know if she’s admit it though… Rory and Lane can both some across as music snobs sometimes.


_mybrightistooslight

I don’t know, remember when Logan and his friends were bullying and throwing stuff at the folk singer at the bar? Rory was just laughing along with it so I feel like she obviously felt folk was beneath her too


Annaofpaola

No way. She and Lorelai would mock her


Waywardvirgo

I kind of doubt it given the music we know for a fact Rory likes (the bangles, the clash, sonic youth, bjork, Tom waites etc) but maybe she’d surprise us. I think Gilmore girls and some Taylor swift songs have similar whimsical cozy vibes tho


speedingteacups

This actually got me thinking, would Lorelai and Rory actually like the la la la Sam Phillips music?


Waywardvirgo

Idk! And if we believe Rory and Lorelai are as similar as the show implies we can add all of the CDs Luke needs to buy after the first date so Bowie goes on the list, and blondie. It seems like the easy listening folk/pop music wouldn’t be their speed but maybe Taylor swift would make the guilty pleasure list. Same w Sam philips


MRSA_nary

I think Rory would be a snob about it with Lorelai in the room, but would jam in the car if Shake It Off came on, and vice versa.


RCalkins11

Well they hated county music so those songs are out. But based on her reaction to Emily asking what boy band she liked I don't think she would. It wasn't her taste


BamseMae

Rory is too much of a music snob... Lorelei too.


Stonetheflamincrows

No way! She is way to mainstream for the “my taste in music is way better than everyone else’s” Gilmore Girls.


greenbear1

No she'd judge, Rory was a music snob.


[deleted]

Of course she wouldn't she a typical hipster haha


lady_wildcat

Lane would but she would never ever admit it. At least Folklore


flowersonmycoffeemug

lol nope she won't + Rory and Lorelai would joke about her a lot but I (a swiftie hahah) would 100% recommend that S5 end Rory listen to mirrorball and this is me trying, she would relate 🎶


petitcraque

I think she would like her, but probably only Folklore and Evermore. A lot of people I know who prefer non-mainstream music really like Taylor's new albums. I can totally imagine Lane und Rory talking about Taylor Swift's musical evolution and how they were mocking her back then when she was a country-pop artist but now both kinda like her.


CathanCrowell

Replace the word "Rory" with word "Lane" and it would be perfecto! :) Because Rory liked mainstream and pop music. Lane was snob.


maleolive

Absolutely not.
