Taylor Swift is awful (and her music isn't even very good)

OK, I will: Patsy Cline. Crazy, Walkin' after midnight.

Okay, just the female singer/songwriters:
Johnette Napolitino,
Lauren Hill,
Grace Slick,
Billie Holiday,
Kate Bush,
Allison Krauss,
Dolly Parton,
Amy Winehouse,
Missy Elliot,
Adele

Taylor Swift is okay, but she just scrapes by compared to many great female singer/songwriters

I’m not sure that all of those women wrote songs.

This is embarrassing for you.

Taylor Swift is so awful that she hangs out with Paul McCartney and Dave Grohl. Someone should tell those guys they’re hanging out with a crappy musician.

Why? I’m not able to find a major songwriting credit for Billie Holliday, for example. Maybe I’m wrong.

Not an equivalent comparison because Patsy Cline was a singer, not a songwriter as well.

Joni Mitchell, James Taylor, Miranda Lambert.

You put Miranda Lambert in the same list as Joni Mitchell and James Taylor?!

well you can't ride in my little red wagon

Why are you so obsessed? It’s a little weird, you have to recognize that. I don’t even love TS, and I find your OP really bizarre.

Sharing an opinion =/= obsession. Stop pathologizing every thing people do.

NP here. How many times have you created a random thread on this forum to rant about something other people like but you don't, yet also doesn't really matter? I have not done that so I think its weird. Like, I don't like popcorn. Many other people do. I don't need a thread about it.

DP. Agree with this. I do not like Taylor Swift but I think OP is really weird and yes, obsessed.

Given the overwhelming number of posts here attacking OP, seems like the Swifties are the ones that are really weird and obsessed.

I’ve been posting a lot on this thread and would consider myself a casual Taylor Swift fan at best.

Sounds like you should examine that obsession.

I’m not the PP but I wouldn’t say that people who think OP is weird are necessarily big fans. I mean OPs post is kind of bizarre. Bizarre posts always get DCUM attention regardless of the subject matter.

One of my all-time favorites, almost like crack -- once I get it in my head, I just can't stop.

What does that have to do with Taylor Swift tho?

So, so many times. I don't even remember most of them. It is entertaining to stake out a position you know a lot of people will disagree with you on (12 pages and counting) and then argue with them about it. I find it interesting and cathartic. It's the main draw of this website for me.

I bet her music would improve if she came out. There is a falseness about her.

I think that's what the O is sensing.

I don't hate her BTW, I love her music when it comes on the radio in the car, and I admire her success. I just think she's gay. Being in the closet is fine with me. I don't care how anyone else lives. I just think some people pick up on something false about her.

That’s so deeply weird.

Adele??? Are you kidding? Adele is a one-trick pony. Every single song is exactly the same as the last one.
