48. That is sick. You talk about the cult of personality. This is why I can't stand politicians or celebrities. They think they are above the law & better than everyone else. Absolutely sickening.

49. I hate the way people here in the U.S get angry about someone taking advantage of an available service. WHY are the police able to be booked for this? Why can ANYONE do the same thing? It shouldn't be ALLOWED. It's just like illegal immigrants "stealing" American jobs, WHY are you angry at poor people trying to feed their families? I'm angry at the SCUMBAG AMERICANS that hire illegal immigrants to take advantage of cheap labor!!! Skewed logic indeed..

51. Why fly out of Dulles when you are much closer to Ronald Regan! Traffic is Northern VA is a NIGHTMARE to begin with, and now traffic is being haulted for a celeb. The post says this story was posted at 9:30. What time did she actually come thru, the middle of rush-hour!?! Please tell me that is not true! Two-hour commutes are bad enough!!!

52. This is just absolutely ridiculous.
I would somehow obtain a gun, shoot the car tires, jump into her car, and punch the skank right in her face. I would never allow this as a celebrity. Does she drive? Does she know how obnoxious that is? Omg its making me angry just thinking about it lol

53. Use of a police escort in this way is more than likely an illegal allocation of state resources, but it would take citizens affected by it to file formal written complaints as well as file a lawsuit against the city involved. Most people don't have that kind of time and money to spend.

54. At everyone who's outraged, yes it's is inappropriate.
BUT, you all know if you were in the position where is was offered you'd take it. I know I would.
It's not uncommon either. Led Zeppelin and big bands of the past would regularly get police escorts, just the perks of the position I suppose.

58. OH PLEASE , My daughter goes to Bishop Ireton HS, You would have thought she would have popped in with a guitar and a couple of songs and everyone would have been over the moon but this talented and wholesome young girl via Verizon was preceded by an entourage of 100's who set up and transformed the school auditorium to an Cap center like venue. It was tremendous and for such little publicity spoke volumes to how they regard their fans! Forget Britney Lindsey, and even Miley. Taylor is truly a talent.

59. BTW It was about 3pm in the afternoon and the police got her out of there to clear the school neighborhood of all the "looky loos" who wanted to see her. But it was a special performance for the kids at BI specifically because they won a nationwide contest sponsored by Verizon with her performance as the prize.The police escort was there not for her but to clear traffic efficiently for everyone else.

60. This is SUCH an exaggeration. I go to Bishop Ireton and traffic on Duke is like that EVERY DAY. Taylor was sweet enough to put on a free concert for 800 people, and she played alot of songs for us so she was running a little late. She took the time to interact with the audience and met people too. The traffic was COMPLETELY cleared by 3:30 PM when I left school and she left at3. Clearly not much of a setback. So this is just TMZ trying to blow something up when really it was nothing.
