Hi, welcome to the year 2022, where it's not socially acceptable or cool or OK to hate on successful women.

Especially when the successful woman is 11-time Grammy winner and talented superstar phenomenon Taylor Swift.

Well, if you've seen Dancing With the Stars or ridden a Peloton, you may have come across 35-year-old fitness instructor Cody Rigsby.

He's a fan favorite, and I feel like we might get along, but his obsession with hating on Taylor is really strange and not cool.

For example, people have pointed out that he often shades Taylor during his rides. Like, sir, this is a workout class.

He's literally said Taylor can't sing and didn't deserve to win Album of the Year — which is just untrue:

He said he'd rather "sit naked on a hot grill" than listen to Taylor's critically acclaimed album Midnights:

He said he hates talking on the phone — and that he'd "rather go to a Taylor Swift concert" than do so:

He said if Taylor was "giving a performance" in his kitchen, he "wouldn't go":

If you are a fan of @cody_rigsby, you already know the answer 😂 Although Cody is NOT going to be attending the taylorswifterastour, he’s sending love to all the #swifties out there! #ticketmaster #codyrigsby

In conclusion, Cody, please get tested for COVID, because you've clearly lost your sense of taste. And stream Midnights. Bye!
