How people think she is the greatest vocal artist of all times is a mystery to me. For those who say her success is driven by her talent and so she has more success as she is more talented than anyone else.

We should do a thread of some acoustics by other artists to broaden peoples view that Taylor Swift is such a vocal genius, better than the rest.

Why don't you go make your own thread about opera singers. You're probably the same one talking about Ludicrous (sp).

I don't think people think that - they like her voice, music and lyrics and persona all together. Her voice is relatable...people don't always want to listen to Mariah Carey types. And there are a ton of popular male singers who have just nice voices, and aren't, e.g., Josh Groban.

I feel like it's a psy op that this 34.5 year old woman remains this popular with this same blasé subject matter. This "new" material from a middle aged woman is so cringe, I'm sorry. How are people not tired of this recycled dating and breakup babble after 11 albums? It makes sense for teens and 20-something pop stars (see Olivia Rodrigo, age 21) to sing about dating and breakup subject matter, but at age 34.5 it is pure cringe.

You’re undermining your point with the weird “34 and a half” thing

The entire album is about Matty. I know I am in the minority, but I loved them together. They are so similar - tortured poets, musicians who enjoy their booze and are a little chaotic at times but brilliant too. And it’s well known she loves a Brit.

It’s such a tragic album really. It’s clear they both were hot for each other for a long time. They have the same producer and close friend, Jack Antonoff, who helped them stay in touch or reconnect. It is likely she left Joe who she was bored with to be with Matty. Then the fans went feral about Matty being “problematic” and also her tour had just started, so it was probably too much strain on him and the relationship. But yah, those two were pining for each other for over a decade (so many clues!) and would have made the cutest babies…unlike the current jock.

The lyric “I would have died for your sins, instead I just died inside…” She was ready to stick by him regardless of public opinion and her dad’s advice (though was she really going to throw so much away?), but he was probably spooked and wanted out.

I'm merely underscoring her literal age, which makes her far too old for this same arrested development dating and breakup babble. Yeah yeah it's making her a lot of money, so who cares. Okay, if it's just her being a shameless money grabber and trying to milk cash from her loyal fanatics, let's not pretend this cringy blasé material is so deep and profound. People are hyper-analyzing a 34.5 year old's dating life songs... come on.

Or maybe it was all fake. Hollywood.

And I’m sure she’s happier for it.

Adele’s Hello breakup album hits home for me more than Taylor’s, JMO.

Sure. I love Adele. Those two are just so different. I enjoy them both.

The difference between Adele and Taylor’s music is that Adele’s music has matured alongside her. Taylor and her music seem developmentally stuck at age 21 or so.

Is that a diss? Whatever she is putting out there breaks records every time. There's space in the industry for everyone. Who cares what another artist does.

Yes, her product is a breakup album geared towards young adult dynamic relationships. Totally respectable if you’re writing fictional or generic content, but gets progressively weirder that she keeps releasing breakup albums every year skewing personal ex boyfriends, in her mid thirties. As another poster put it, Taylor seems manic when it comes to relationships. I don’t know if it’s a diss as much as an observation- I thought her songs like we were never getting back together and all too well were heartfelt and well written songs. I just think it’s weird that she’s in her mid thirties still making the same mistakes in relationships and putting out the same thing every few months. Her albums are mostly highly anticipated because shes willing to publicly slander her high profile exes. The whole thing seems kind of gross.

Taylor Swift = William Shakespeare

You missed the point. A lot probably goes over your head in life.

What's the point?

I'm going to guess you're far older than than 34.5. You're also the type to say women of a certain age can't dress the way they want, wear their hair the way they want or do much of anything. Women policing other women and drawing arbitrary lines in the sand or inventing rules about what's allowed are the worst.

Agree with all of this. How many different relationships of hers has she referred to in her music as “a masterpiece,” something she’s “willing to die for” or “life would lose all its meaning” without? She’s 34 and every few months she’s torn up about another boy. Really? It is cringe. At this point, it’s like we’re on season 25 of Greys Anatomy.
