I don’t get it. Her music is sometimes catchy but otherwise unremarkable, from the songs I’ve heard. How does she break all these records and accumulate so much fame and wealth?
She’s pretty, but a lot of singer songwriters are, especially those with makeup and costume people, a support staff.
Is there something else to her that people like?
I’m confused about what makes her so apparently uniquel or phenomenal.
It’s probably closer to why people like trump only the swifties are probably less inclined to kill people that don’t like Taylor swift.
Or people really found her whiny breakup song phase relatable. That’s probably what got the ball rolling. Then it’s just like the Beatles or something but with objectively worse music.
I really don’t like any of her songs that I have heard. To be fair I can’t recall ever liking any songs that were ever on the radio during the time I have been alive at least.
It’s worth noting that of her top played songs in Spotify, I think maybe only one of them was on the radio. Her two pandemic albums Evermore and Folklore do not get radio time at all, I don’t recall hearing much on the radio from her albums Lover or Reputation either, but probably some.
I think a lot of times people heard shake it off or similar when it was played all the time and think that is representative.
In their time, the Beatles also weren’t considered very good by the non-fans. Also, subjectively, I don’t think “love me do” is a great song. I don’t think Taylor Swift writes really bad songs, I’m just not into the music/ singing style.
This is a great cover though. And, objectively, it shows her song writing is fine.
