This has to be the meanest thing I've ever seen. A shop commissioned a hateful mural implying the singer is dead.

RIP Taylor Swift: There's a Mural in New York City Implying the Singer Is Dead

Kayleen Schaefer November 6, 2014

Pictures of Taylor Swift are all over New York these days — she’s the city’s “Global Welcome Ambassador for Tourism” — but only one is a memorial for the pop star, who is not deceased and probably not about to disappear from public view anytime soon. (Swift just sold 1.287 million copies of her new album, 1989, in one week.)

A boutique on Manhattan’s Lower East Side asked graffiti artist Antonio “Chico” Garcia, who’s known for his murals commemorating long-gone cultural figures like Princess Diana, to paint their storefront with a picture Swift and the words “RIP Taylor Swift.”

Kara Mullins and Osvaldo Jimenz co-own the store that commissioned the art, a vintage shop called La Petite Mort. They are also married, and got into a major argument about whose face to put on their gate.

It certainly is inappropriate but, if that's the "meanest thing you've ever seen", you are one lucky lady.

It's just a figure of speech to reflect how I am currently feeling.

I've never understood why this young woman is the target of such hatred, ridicule and meanness.

She may not be everyone's cup of tea, but she seems to be level-headed, smart, and sensible. Her life hasn't been plastered all over the tabloids with lurid headlines and salacious vulgar pictures. She gives generously of her money and time.

Except for writing some songs about failed relationships, I see no reason for all the negativity expressed about her. More celebrities should conduct themselves as she does...this world would be a better place.

OK sorry, I understand now.

madzonie.....I agree. I really pray that nothing happens to her. She apparently has been the target of many threats.

I really don't get it either.

I think she is such a pretty girl and she seems really sweet. She is good to her fans. I really love the way she dresses and everything looks great on her because she is so tall and lean.

Her new album has gotten great reviews from people in the music industry who are really well respected.

She is one smart cookie writing all of her own songs too, that is where the money is.

I don't get the hate. Wendy Williams went off about it the other day...and I got ticked at her. It is because she wrote a song about NY...much like I Left My Heart In San Fransisco sung by Tony Bennett.
