One hit wonder songs that are infinitely more iconic than any of Taylor Swift’s massive catalog.

Might be to late for Taylor to write a classic. Most are written by artists 20s to early 30s then the genius evaporates. Taylor is 33.

Not even the best “cruel summer”
That’s embarrassing

I don't think it's actually hate. I think people enjoy trolling TS stans because it's so easy. You don't even have to levy real criticisms against her. You can be like, "I like her music but she's never had a song as memorable as Take on Me," and people will get so mad. It's a very attractive situation for a troll!


Again, that behavior is quite bizarre. There are several journalists who tried to make some drama between Taylor and other popular artists either touring in the same town or having concerts this summer, and every single person responded with positivity about Taylor, emphasizing there’s no competition as there’s enough space for everyone in the industry.

That thing you do

A song written for a movie about a band with a one hit wonder

Uh, journalists don’t behave that way.

And TS is incredibly collaborative.

No. Video created OP’s a ha. Taylor is long past video.


MTV made A-ha. And a lot of other bands,

File Crowded House as not a one-hit wonder. Huge global following and multiple songs that charted.

I’m pretty neutral about her, neither a fan nor a hater. But it would be a shame if that ends up being the song that sticks for decades. I know she’s more talented than that.


NP.

It’s the only TS song I know thanks to the Sing movie!

Taylor needs an “islands in the stream” , “jolene”

Or even a Backstreet Boys “ I want it that way”


There is not one that will survive at this point .

Op, I think you don't understand what a "one hit wonder" is. It is a group that only had one hit and then disappeared. The term shoulr not, and does not, apply to the following:

Simple minds
The Raspberries
Blue oyster cult
Bad finger

Agree. I love their albums and have seen them live several times.

TS will eventually become Rihanna and Katy Perry. Remember all the hype around those two? They cashed their chips and started families. Each of them has a couple of songs that are "iconic" enough to be played on the radio now and then and the rest of the songs are forgettable. TS will have a couple that stick around for the long haul. The people saying all of her songs will be classics are delusional.
