[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Meh. Taylor is a disingenuous poser. The jig is up. She can take issue with any and every minute aspect of that song if she chooses, to no avail. She's grasping at straws. She's been exposed as a fake. [/quote]

What? She is still a talented musician. I am a Taylor fan because I like her music. Period, end of. I couldn't care less about her personal life. In the grand scheme of things, this is a blip. Taylor will release a new record and do a new tour and see major success yet again. I'm sure she'll win a slew of Grammys again in the future because at the end of the day, she writes catchy tunes and people like her music. Kim K is hanging on to fame by her fingernails. She is desperate and pathetic.[/quote]

Her success does not exist without the finely crafted narrative of her "personal life".

From Vox:

"Taylor Swift and her success are a strange phenomenon. Critics and her biggest fans will openly tell you that she doesn’t have the best voice or the best technical skills. Her songwriting, while impossibly catchy, isn’t mind-blowing or complex.

What she’s fantastic at is creating songs that crystallize a messy, usually teenage feeling that somehow speaks to everyone, even people who have never felt it, and weave it in with slips of her personal life. The personal life part of that skill is crucial.

Every song she’s released throughout her career, every post she’s shared on social media — it’s all helped paint a portrait of Swift as your best friend. Her latest album, her tour, her Instagram photos, and her Facebook posts are all wrapped around the fantasy of being her pal and joining her coven of female friendship. With some pop stars, you want to be them; with Taylor Swift, you just wanna hang out with her.

Kardashian’s Snapchat video cuts through that veneer — throwing doubt on what your BFF Taylor Swift is telling you, making you wonder, well, if Taylor could lie about that conversation with West, what else could she be lying about?"

Eh, I think if you're young, tall, blonde, skinny and can write "impossibly catchy" songs, you'd be successful even without the carefully crafted image.[/quote]

If that's true she won't do something desperate to flip the script, but it is true and she will. She's a dime a dozen. We value her music because of the interest she's created and her overall narrative, which of course is all false.[/quote]
