So if the PP qualified and said I don’t hate her, but from what I have heard I formed an opinion and find her annoying. I don’t really need to hear anymore because what I do know is annoying. would take be ok? Just because the PP finds her annoying doesn’t mean Taylor IS annoying nor does it mean YOUR opinion of her being awesome is wrong. The ability to have likes and dislikes and express them is called freedom. |
I don’t get this kind of criticism. I really don’t care if anyone likes Taylor Swift or not but the whole she’s going to be fine, people are going to move on is weird. The Beatles aren’t exactly pumping out new albums, either, but they are icons and people still listen to them and our kids are discovering them and I’m betting the next generation will too. Eventually all pop stars slow down. Of course she won’t be constantly pumping out music like she has for the last 20 years, but she has an insane amount of songs people know, and love. She has a few more albums in her in the coming years. As grows older it’s going to be interesting to see her collab with younger stars. She will probably reinvent herself a few times and I’m betting some of us will be going to see Taylor in her 60s just like Madonna. Will she stay on top forever? No, nobody does. I don’t understand why that is a dig. It’s just a fact of life and I don’t see people saying that about other artists but for some reason people love to bring it up about Swift. |
THe PP seems to agree with you. You both think Swift will have to slow down at some point. The PP just pointed out that writing songs about boyfriends breaking up with you when you are married with kids doesn’t ring very true. You think this level of criticism is a “dig.” Not sure I see why- because the PP doesn’t enjoy those kinds of songs and you think everyone should? |
I guess my question is whether she can do anything but the relationship bops. For many singers, that's their main material and it dries up with age. For example Fleetwood Mac made great record when they were all screwing each other and breaking each other's hearts. They were still singing those songs in their forties and fifties. There is probably not an audience for new material at that point. So the question is whether the current library ages well enough for her to sing it when ahe's 45. For Katy Perry the answer is apparently leaning toward "no." Maybe when Taylor is 45 her fans will still want to hear about her being in the bleachers in high school. If they all enjoy her emotionally arrested mentality they probably will. |
No, I don’t care if people like it or not. But what is the point of pointing it out? In every Taylor thread there is a lot of well she is on her way out well she is getting old well she can’t keep up this level of popularity. And it’s like, okay? Puzzled why people feel the need to point it out. The question is do you like Taylor swift? Just weird that the answer is “ well she’s not going to be doing this forever.” Right, we’re all going to die. It just seems like a weird response in all of these threads. |
The Man Ronan 22 The Best Day Never Grow Up The Lucky One This is Me Trying The Last Great American Dynasty Peter Marjorie Long Live Eyes Open Only The Young You need to calm down Bad Blood Shake It Off Welcome to New York Mean You're on your own Kid I did something bad Clean Fifteen The Lakes Soon You'll Get Better Mad Woman This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things Hoax Epiphany Just to name some.... Again, many of you are showing you only know a surface level about her music but want to post on and on about it. |
What are you even responding to? The 1st PP talked about how "She should have more to do than the boyfriend complaint jam" and the 2nd PP described how there's an entire album not about boyfriend complaints. |
In any event these are all very teenage and young adult- sounding even if not about her terrible bad boyfriends that she is just a wee victim of. Poor Taylor. Do you think "Bad Blood" will sound good when she's 45? That sounds like a song for a "woman" stuck at age 17. If she is singing it at 45 my response would be she needs therapy. |
I think you're the one in need of therapy, let it go. If you don't like an artist and don't know anything about her body of work, why keep commenting? Many of the songs above are beautiful. I'm guessing you have not heard all of them. |
You are the one attacking me for my opinion. Maybe you need to examine why it is so important that everyone worships Taylor. Do you also have a cat named Olivia? Are you the president of the Tay Fan Club? Did you wear a feather boa to the concert and post on Instagram so everyone would see how cool you are. Your emotional connection to her is a bigger problem than my observation that teenage complaint rick does not compute during the perimenopause years. |
Seriously, you need to take a step back. No one is attacking you for anything. People are simply pointing out that your “facts“ about Taylor are in fact not true. You’ve heard sound bites over the years about why people don’t like her and you’ve chosen to believe them. You seem to be attacking an artist because they sing about love and it’s in the pop style of music. Love is timeless. Anyone can identify with songs about Love at any age. Please name artists that don’t sing about Love. Additionally if you don’t see a progression from Taylor singing about Love and her original album eg “our song” all the way to “the alchemy” on her latest album, I’m not sure what to tell you. |
| Does anyone know who else actually sings her songs? If you actually listen to them it's not just one voice, it's several. I have a hard time figuring out when she's singing and when it's her backups. She's not all that but she has the best PR machine in the country. |
You need to calm down! |
I have heard some of her songs so my opinion is based on what I have actually heard and also observation of her twee demeanor. It is not based on what someone told me or what someone else wrote. If the topic of the thread is "Do you like Taylor Swift?" my response is relevant. You do not have to approve. |
And it is indeed a fact that she sings a lot about ex-boyfriends. I don't happen to enjoy hearing a 35 year old millionaire drine on about her ex lovers and boyfriends. I realize her marker is teens and young women who like to sit in their emotional bathwater. So there is a market for the bad boyfriend bops and also the sweater song. |
