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

I know this will provoke a bunch of Swifties to come and yell at me and say I'm a misogyinist, just jealous, or demand to know why I can't just let other people love things. So I'll defend myself in advance even though I know it won't matter:

1) Criticizing Taylor Swift is not misogyny but she works hard to make sure it looks that way by embracing a very specific brand of girl-power feminism so that if people criticize her, she can play the victim. It's a kind of feminism available only to pretty, rich white women with lots of pretty, rich female friends. Also, don't yell at me for criticizing someone who is "young" and "still learning." She's 32. She likes to play the victim and pretend she's just a teenage nerd with no friends, but as the link above discusses, this is an act designed to garner sympathy and, most importantly, sales.

2) I probably am jealous. But I'm not JUST jealous. I also have a point.

3) People can like whatever they want but I can also dislike whatever I want, and I really, really dislike Taylor Swift and needed to share it with the world today.

nobody cares. You don't have to share everything that pops into your head.

Agree-- nobody cares OP. I am sure Taylor Swift is absolutely devastated that some anonymous suburban house frau do not like her music. LOL!

This thread hit 5 pages in a few hours. Apparently some people, including you, care.

Just because people comment doesn't mean they "care".

You care enough to comment. Just like someone who is annoyed by Taylor Swift might care enough to comment.

If you really don't care, you wouldn't be here at all.

You’re welcome.

Like, can you just not step on our gowns, OP? We see you over there on the internet, comparing all the girls who are killing it

Lol "gowns" please -- the floral Reformation dress you wore for the last Swift concert is not a gown and you aren't killing it, you are being taken for a ride by a woman who wants ALL your disposable income for herself.

No, Beyoncé is actually genuinely talented even if you don't like her music. For one, unlike Taylor Swift, she can dance.

Twerking like Beyonce does isn't talent. And her songs are totally forgettable.

Taylor Swift moves around on stage like a chicken. All her songs are forgettable.

I am with PP who noted Folklore and Evermore got them through the pandemic. 55 YO female here. DH and two DDs agree. We have reasonably eclectic tastes. We also listened to our old Waylon (gotta get those kids educated), The National, X, Brockhampton, Car Seat Headrest, Stef Chura, Wilco, Lana, Lorde, The Weeknd to name a few.

I don’t personally ‘get’ Taylor haters. but I am very interested in what you do like if you are willing to share. No criticism (from me!)

1 MILLION % agree OP. She is garbage and has a total victim complex.

Taylor swift making music about people who hate on her on the internet is an irrefutable sign that she does a give a sh!t about what is said about her on the internet. I'll let you all in on a secret: celebrities are obsessed with people who don't like them, this stems from the fact that they're so used to adulation that, the thought of anyone not being impressed nor fawning sends them in a tail spin.

She isn't the vice president of the united states of America, her schedule isn't packed months and months in advance year round. She's not above perusing to read what he's being said about her.

what lyrics do you thing are "good"?

I love Taylor Swift. Don’t buy every album but think her music is highly listenable and she’s a good and even great song writer. My primary musical taste runs from Guided By Voices to Sharon Van Etten to Cat Power (yes, I’m old) but Swift’s songs are catchy and enjoyable.
