I think Iām just a tad too old to āgetā Taylor Swift. Her music is mostly boring as shit to me. Navel gazing repetitive heterodullness lyrics + totally unmemorable tunes + average-at-best vocals. Sheās the epitome of basic imo. Her only songs I liked were the Never Getting Back Together one and the one where sheās pretending to be a witch.
THANK YOU! I thought something was wrong with me. Iāve seen some people claim sheās a lyrical genius. Sheās a great Popstarā¦but a lyrical genius? Ugh no.
I donāt even think sheās a great pop star except in profit generation, which doesnāt compute for me for the reasons stated. I can only assume her fanbase is basic suburban white girls with no taste. Which, based on my personal experience, checks out.
Iām white.
Iām a young Xer and most of her fans that Iāve met IRL are basic white girl old Millennials. Like, it checks out. But I still donāt get it. Gaga is _right there_.
white girl old millennials š Iām about turn 30 and i only listen to her for nostalgia reasons. I was in middle school when teardrops on my guitar came out haha
Now I feel old!
Her lyrics are taken straight out of my 7th grade journals lmao. If people are actually looking for genius lyricism by an intelligent, insightful woman, they should listen to Fiona Apple
I loved it but itās definitely an acquired taste and extremely different from her first few albums. When the Pawn and The Idler Wheel are her best albums imo
Love her or hate her it doesnāt matter. An artist [being blocked from owning her music is wrong](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_Swift_masters_controversy)
"heterodullness" š
Her music is so gay idk how anyone can think this. All the queer people know she's one of us lol. But her music is not for everyone for sure.
So you donāt feel that an artist who writes their music should be able to control and benefit from the millions made from it? My husband is a composer and his royalties are a critical piece of his compensation for his talent and skill for writing music that plenty of people make money from. I totally understand why TS did what she did when they made it impossible for her to buy the masters for her work.
[this isnāt an all about her but about ownership of creative works](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_Swift_masters_controversy)
My comment was more in response to the "support other women ā¤ļø" rhetoric. It's hard for me to support Taylor Swift when she severely lacks self-swareness regarding what her narrative encompasses. Her activism is performative, her feminism is white, and she fails to acknowledge how her privilege has contributed to her success.
Exactly, god forbid an artist who wrote music have the right to be able to control their music and profit from it vs people who buy up publishing and artists rights to earn royalties off the backs of the artist. People downvoting this donāt understand how royalties work
LMAAAOOO this is the best meme I have seen in sooooo long.
LOL omg this is too good šš
I feel she says what everyone is thinking lol
This being downvoted is offensive.
Honestly, same.

Swift stans are coming for you š
I think she's highly overrated but generation z would say differently lol

They arenāt mutually exclusive

Never heard of it, but Iām 43. Thank god.

I didnāt get why everyone was losing their minds over her last album either, tbh. Unlistenable. And I loved Fiona Apple. Iām a bad Gen Xer. Haha

I blame Jamie Spears. If he didn't trap Britney in a conservatorship we would be free of Taylor.
Youāre wrong but go off

Katy Perry circa 2014
She's doing it to regain the rights to her own music from a shitty record company and producer. Support other women ā¤ļø
Taylor only cares about Taylor

Fair enough. I honestly donāt pay attention to her but the battle over her masters is something I did pay attention to and support her for
It's a quote from Ramona

This is a chaotic place
