John Mac Ghlionn wrote an opinion piece for Newsweek on Taylor Swift. Though the writer called her “an economic powerhouse of epic proportions” and “the most influential celebrity in America,” he questioned her personal life.

Ghlionn penned, “At 34, Swift remains unmarried and childless, a fact that some might argue is irrelevant to her status as a role model. But, I suggest, it's crucial to consider what kind of example this sets for young girls.”
