Is it bad that I only listen to Taylor Swift?

[Anonymous]

Should I be concerned?

How old are you?
Some people really get into one group or singer.

Yes. You have stunted musical taste and also probably stunted emotional maturity.

Like at the very least you could branch out to artists TS is inspired with or references in her music, or to other female singer songwriters generally, or to other musicians who have crossed that country-to-pop divide in similar ways. Like here is a short list of musicians who might appeal to someone who really enjoys Taylor Swift:

Lady Gaga
Dolly Parton
Kacey Musgraves
Phoebe Bridgers
Beyoncé
Courtney Barnett

There are many, many others. I have no idea why someone would restrict themselves to one artist in this way. It's messed up.

So you are like my 15yo.

You're funny

I would be concerned if you DID listen more than just in passing.

You might also like the National, considering Aaron Dessner cowrote like half of the songs on her recent albums and she appears on their newest album coming out in a week or two.

What have been your musical tastes over the years?

This is displaying a bit of arrested-development from a musical and perhaps intellectual perspective, but who cares? If that's what makes you happy for now, go with it.

Here is something you can try....

Go on Pandora and use Taylor or a few of her songs that you really like as "seeds" for a "station".

Then, use the thumbs up or down as you hear and discover other similar songs and artists that are similar.

You may be surprised at what you discover this way.
