[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Taylor has written the same song over and over again. [/quote]

Which song? The one about people dying of cancer? The one about Romantic poets? The one about being screwed over by the guy who purchased your catalog? The one about the women who went before her and carved their own path?

I don't care whether people like Taylor, I certainly don't expect them to find each of her songs a precious gem, but I am really sick of people who heard one or two songs ten years ago and have decided they get to write off all of her songs as being the same.

Katy Perry < Taylor Swift < Phoebe Bridgers[/quote]

You clearly care and are taking it personal. Like others have said, it’s similar songs with different packaging. Honestly, the worst thing about Taylor Swift are her fans. They think she is a genius, which she isn’t. [/quote]

No, I'm taking it analytically, looking at the reactions to Taylor through a lens of systemic misogyny. I do think there's a lot of "it's not the band, it's the fans" behind some of the negative reactions, but a lot of the criticism of her songwriting isn't based in the reality what she's been writing about in the past 10 years. She's written some really good lyrics and she seems both smart and savvy (although not a genius, and certainly not a genius for not getting into crypto -- WTF, PPs?)[/quote]
