It doesn’t matter whether you like her music. She deserves respect for using her fame to speak out on the right side of history in Tennessee, even though it draws threats from MAGA idiots.

Hilariously this actually happened to Taylor Swift. Her album 1989 was covered in its entirety by Ryan Adams, and all of the critics gushed about his brilliance and how amazing it was that he could transform her music into something worthy. It just needed his perspective. Because of course it did! Go back and read some articles. It’s a trip. |
Pitchfork didn’t like it but dang, other people really did: https://www.metacritic.com/music/1989/ryan-adams (It’s worth mentioning that Ryan Adams’ ex girlfriends/wives have accused him of abuse.) |
No, they said he took something great and added something new by changing the tone from upbeat pop to a more melancholy tone. The same was said when Johnny Cash covered NIN's Hurt. |
| Taylor will be crying all the way to the bank. |
But the issue with the PP is that, according to him, since he doesn’t know her music “she not that famous”. |
A 69 is pretty average for an album on Metacritic. 80 or above means the critics really like it. |
Yeahhhh but… …that was one song covered by an artistic genius. Who the hell is Ryan Adams? A no one who was trying to coattail on a hugely popular album by an insanely popular artist. One song covered is awesome (see also The Rolling Stones’ cover of the Temptations; Ain’t Too Proud to Beg, GNR covering Wings’ Live and Let Die, two songs so ridiculously over the top that you can smell the cheese, and Cake’s cover of Gloria Gaynor’s I Will Survive), a whole album is a weird, desperate flail and is mansplain adjacent in this context. And I hope all the little Swifties of voting age get those moldy old Republicans out of office and into the dustbin of history where they belong. |

The GOP : Oppresses women .
Women: Actively voting against them. The GOP: “ ok first of all how dare you” |
Don’t take my word for it. Articles were written about it. https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2015/09/ryan-adams-taylor-swift-1989/406744/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/nickmessitte/2015/09/30/1989-its-not-a-victory-for-ryan-adams-its-a-victory-for-taylor-swift/ The Forbes article is really special. The same critic that panned TS 1989 suddenly saw its genius once RA put his spin on it. Isn’t that nice. |
