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.

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.
