She seems like just one of 100s of “girl singers.” Good, but not smashingly so. You want truth? You listen to Janis Joplin. You want angst and emotion. Listen to Amy Lee. (Evanescense) You want music-to-buy-groceries-by? Listen to Taylor Swift. Except for thee album where she apparently decided to “be tough,” mistakenly believing being a strong person requires profanity.
She was interesting to watch in her interviews, et cetera, in her Netflix show ( or whatever it was), “Taylor Swift, American Princess” , or whatever it was called. Seems a bit spacey to try to carry on a conversation, though. Kind of like a cuter, younger, sweeter Jessica Simpson.
I’ve never listened to Taylor Swift on purpose - just doesn’t interest me - but maybe I’ve heard her in Costco or Albertson’s. I don’t know.
Listen to Alannah Myles. Now THERE’S a lady who can sing. I’m not talking about “Black Velvet” - throw that one out. Listen to Amy Lee - she pierces right through you. And I’m not talking about “My Immortal” - set that on the shelf.
Taylor Swift? A pretty good singer with very good marketing agents, who inexplicably wears swimwear with sequins to sing in on stage.
I more or less agree with you, though I think for the young girl who hit her teenage years in the early 2010s, they've more or less grown up with Taylor Swift narrating the ins and outs of their adolescence. The music may be average (I'll say better than average, but not great), the lyrics and the storys within each song probably have a real pull. That's the only way I can explain why she's so popular with women in their late 20s early 30s. Otherwise, it makes no sense to me.
Her music is innocuous, and nice, though. And she writes from her experiences or something. Not that someone so young would HAVE a lot of experience to write about.
What impresses me from her movie I saw, and bits in the news, is she’s apparently a very good person, and has compassion for others. She’s not just all about how cute and cool she is. She’s about her music, and fairness in the world. I like that. I just hope she keeps her clothes on and doesn’t get crazy like Britney, Lindsey Lohan, and so many others. I think much of her popularity is because she’s a good person.
As far as “When Did You First Realize Taylor Swift Was Lying to You?”, it was definitely when she claimed that Kanye didn’t clear with her the verse on “Famous” and then Kim K. released the video of the conversation where she said it was fine.

I'm not totally up on the story line here, but didn't it later come out that Kim K. had edited the audio?
News to me if true, I have no idea.
