Taylor Swift has released a wonderfully salty song today called Look What You Made Me Do and it's everything a Taylor Swift song should be; catchy, fun, poptastic...and full of revenge. Who could she be crooning about with lyrics like;
I got a list of names and yours is in red underlined
I’ll be the actress starring in your bad dreams
I’m sorry the Old Taylor can’t come to the phone right now. Why? Oh! Coz she’s dead!
Imagine what the album will be like? (Reputation is due for release in November)
Anyway, in honour of Taylor's new song, we decided to divulge our most petty and cherished grudges on the Early Breakfast today. Mine is still Aidan O'Neill dumping me ON BEHALF OF A FELLA CALLED EOIN outside the boys school back circa 2000, while casually chomping on an apple. EVERYONE SAW AND HEARD. Anyway, I'm over it, cough.
Have a look!
- “Paula a girl in school found a letter I wrote to a fella I liked – I was never going to actually send it – and put it on the notice board in school. What a witch Alice was!”
- “I was dumped right before the Leaving Cert. I mean, at the school gates before English paper one. She also told everyone else that she was going to "dump" me before I knew about it. One of her friends told me around 3 months later”
- “Paula I will never forgive my stupid sister for spoiling the end of Usual Suspects for me!”
- “Paula I adore Carmac toffee bar things that I only ever get in France – I bought a bag of them and brought them home a few years ago and one day I came home to find my rotten housemate had eaten every single one. I really hate that guy (no longer live with him)”
- “In playschool, the fella who tripped over himself and fell onto Legos, and then claimed I pushed him. I wasn’t allowed a treat that day coz of that lying sh1t”
- “My sister was acting the maggot and my parents decided to punish us BOTH for her actions and we missed out on the local production of Les Mis. I had looked forward to it for months and even though it was 14 years ago I can’t let it go. She still thinks it’s funny!”
- “An old boyfriend told me I had a pretty face and would be perfect if I lost weight. What a tw*t”
- “I taped over my sister’s school play with Die Hard and she will never shut up about it, 15 years later. I still don’t regret it, she’s a terrible singer and Die Hard is brilliant!”
- “Paula; All Ireland semi final in 1992 – ref gave a penalty to the other team, a completely unwarranted penalty, he said I pushed a lad and I honestly never did. They scored and we lost and damn that referee. The injustice!”
- “My cousin stole some of my Mr Men books from my collection.”
- “Morning Paula. I was 18 and had just broken my ankle. Was in the middle of collage exams. Got on the bus as usual but this different driver never gave me the chance to find a seat. As he drove off. I went flying. Crutches, bag and me on floor. Still resent him!” - Niall in Galway 13 years on
- “Still mad at the ex who cheated on me and lied about it. 3 years ago. She's dead to me.”
- “Paula my husband’s sister announced my baby was born last year on Facebook. To this day I am so annoyed about that!”
- “My 3rd class teacher one day called out everyone's second names. In 1980s Ireland there were some odd ones. Mine is Pius after my dad - but lead to years of teasing. Still hate him for it!”
AND FINALLY; THE THE VOICES OF REASON:
- “Happy Friday Sweet pea. Tell all the boys and girls if it didn't happen in the last 6 months they have to let go of the grudge. The kids are still going on about things happened 20 years ago!” - Grainne
- “Holding grudges is like sticking pins in yourself hoping the other person feels it! Lads let them go they'll rot your soul!”
