Please don’t ever talk about Taylor Swift with your nasty mouth. Her name does not belong in your filthy mouth. https://t.co/gBaB6B6M2T

Meanwhile, fans are uniting to defend Mendoza and expressed their appreciation for her courage to say sorry.
Humble enough to admit one’s mistakes and shortcomings and to apologize for them even if the deed was done a long time ago and can easily be shrugged off is such an admirable trait. This is far better than those who remain silent of their mistakes with nary an apology. 😌

We all make mistakes. We all have said things in the past that, looking back, shouldn't have been said. We've all been there, our younger (sometimes careless) selves should not define who we are today.
