Historically connected rich person with average talent.

Typical ultra capitalist, pretends to be whatever but doesn’t give a shit about anything but money

Pretends to give a shit about social issues and talks about how she finally has to break her silence on politics to support women’s and lgbt rights. But co opts gay culture to sell a song a few years after co opting black culture to sell a song. A few years later (literally like a month ago) continues to date the guy from the 1975 after he is widely publicized saying disgusting misogynistic and racist comments. So cares about them when it’s financially incentivized or personally relevant

The private jet thing is disgusting behavior. Her c02 emissions from flying are so absurd; in the first 7 months of 2022 she put out more c02 from flying than 1,184 average Americans put out in a year from existing. She is literally the worst and her terrible excuse is that she loans her planes out so it’s her planes and not her.

She is talented but so many people are. She was able to get her career because she grew up in an extremely wealthy and well connected family. The music is the product; the family created the brand and business surrounding that product. And they fleece the hell out of those fans shamelessly. Limited edition variants, 10 different colors of vinyl, 4 editions of the album each with different bonus tracks, etc. tbf this one is standard practice. Taylor just takes it to an extreme level by partnering with target and working intensely with PR teams to make fans feel like she’s a perfect and relatable princess who’s super down to earth. But then there’s the gross stuff like selling ad space to citi for her tour despite a huge portion of her fans being young adolescents and her net worth already being half a billion dollars. She doesn’t need the money but might as well get them started on credit card debt young, they need to buy up all those vinyl variants

Like all pop singer songwriters she generally takes all the credit despite having a team of production staff working on everything she does. Again this is not exclusive to her tho

That said I thought 1989 was pretty good. Rest of her albums were eh or bad imo but music is subjective. I love synth pop so 1989 was my kind of album. Reputation was kind of there too but the lyrics on that album were so corny and overall was just kind of an eh album. I pirate her music because she has enough money. I have some of her albums on vinyl but I bought them used for the same reason. But I’m also a “separate the art from the artist but don’t financially support shitheads” kind of person

Extraordinary generic.

Prolific and talented songwriter. Kind and intelligent person. Don’t care about the haters.

Amazing artist. Wish I had been able to see her live.

She is a human woman with skin, hair, bones, organs, and is capable of creating sound. Other humans receive dopamine from experiencing the audio she creates. They also are human people with brains.

I'm a big fan. I went to see the Eras tour in Philly and have been playing the setlist non-stop. I was super disappointed yesterday because SNTV dropped but work was so busy with explosions that I didn't have a chance to listen to more than a few minutes.

But as usual "singer bad 😡" has taken root in the chat. Wanna start a swiftie community together?

Her music is like, mathematically inoffensive but my god radio stations need to stop playing it +40 times a day. Even the most generic pop song can make you grind your teeth to bloody nubs if it's repeated twice an hour.

Very good composer. Voice is nothing special. Kind and enlightened to the issues facing humanities in the present. I prefer her country flavored songs like Mean and I hope she releases an album of that style of country music again before too long.

If ir weren't for her constant breakups, she would have nothing to sing about. What a coincidence she has a break up so often.

Bland, boring, too skinny.
