[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^sorry, but no.  Taylor swift is the one who wrote the damn music.  The fact that Ryan Adams had to put it through the Bruce Springsteen distortion machine in order for people to take it seriously shows a lot of inherent misogyny.

Check out father John mistys cover of Ryan Adams version if you really want it crystallized for you.[/quote]

Except Taylor doesn't write her music. It's all a charade.

The reason teeny pop music is demeaned is because it's over-produced, focus group-approved schlock that follows a formula, down to the notation and chord progression. There's nothing inherently "artistic" about it.[/quote]

Taylor Swift has been writing her own music since before she became famous.  In fact, that's HOW she became famous. Of course, plenty of times writers collaborate with producers.  That doesn't take anything away from the work they put in.

Plenty of artists sing manufactured stuff written for them by others.  Beyonce is a huge offender, even Diplo has spoken about how little musical history she knew when he worked with her.  Plenty of artists don't really contribute anything to the creative process, other than their voice, and then sit back and slap a "written by" credit on it.

Taylor Swift ain't one of those. [/quote]
