[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find it really ironic that the folks on here defending TS Are recalling her awkward and geeky persona when she first started in country, and defend her by that standard. TS has made a *very* successful career on skewering people in her lyrics, while playing the doe eyed victim, even since the days of "Mean". The only difference between her and Kanye is he has the parts to name names, where TS just puts in coy little clues in her liner notes.

I respect Taylor and have a lot of her music - but people need to understand that she is not the cookies and puppies persona that her very clever marketing and PR team would have everyone buy into. Some of her lyrics are quite pointed and designed to be cruel (Dear John, anyone? Better than Revenge?). But, unlike Kanye, she posts enough cheery stuff in IG and the like that people give her a pass on it for some reason. [/quote]

Taylor's lyrics have never named actual people (at least that I recall).  She has said that the Mean song was directed at harsh critics and unfair criticism.

I think it's fair to say that her songs are inspired by relationships and her own experiences.  But if you think about it that is the case with most artists and most songs.

I don't think that she has ever tried to destroy another person through her music.  She isn't like that.  But she is a writer and she writes about what she knows.  And right now she's going through the ups and downs of dating, romantic distress, etc.  They all do that.

Are you sure about that?

Some of Taylor Swift's lyrics bringing down other people:

Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone.
Don't you think I was too young
To be messed with?
The girl in the dress
Cried the whole way home, I should've known.

Well maybe it’s me
And my blind optimism to blame
Or maybe it’s you and your sick need
To give love then take it away

And you'll add my name to your long list of traitors who don't understand
And I'll look back in regret how I ignored when they said,
"Run as fast as you can."

"[b]Dear John[/b], I see it all now that you're gone.
[i]Don't you think I was too young
To be messed with?[/i]
The girl in the dress
Cried the whole way home

[b]Dear John, I see it all now it was wrong
Don’t you think nineteen’s too young
To be played by your dark, twisted games?[/b]
When I loved you so, I should've known.

You are an expert at "Sorry"
And keeping lines blurry
Never impressed by me acing your tests
[b]All the girls that you've run dry have tired lifeless eyes
Cause you've burned them out
[/b]

But I took your matches
Before fire could catch me
So don’t look now
I’m shining like fireworks
Over your sad empty town

Dear John, I see it all now that you're gone.
Don't you think I was too young
To be messed with?
The girl in the dress
Cried the whole way home

I see it all now that you're gone
Don't you think I was too young
To be messed with?
The girl in the dress
Wrote you a song, you should’ve known.

You should’ve known
Don’t you think I was too young?
You should’ve known."

About John Mayer who she very publicly dated. He also responded saying this song was very hurtful and undeserved.

This is what Taylor Swift said about her ex- Joe Jonas:
While appearing on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in November 2008, Swift told host Ellen DeGeneres about the former Jonas Brothers member breaking up with her over the phone. [b]"You know what, it’s like, when I find that person that is right for me, he’ll be wonderful. When I look at that person, I’m not even going to remember the boy who broke up with me over the phone in 27 seconds when I was 18."[/b]

If that wasn't enough she wrote a song about Joe and his new girlfriend Camilla Belle:

"Now go stand in the corner and think about what you did
Ha, time for a little revenge

The story starts when it was hot and it was summer
And, I had it all I had him right there where I wanted him
[b]She came along, got him alone, and let's hear the applause
She took him faster than you could say sabotage[/b]
I never saw it coming, nor would I have suspected it
I underestimated just who I was dealing with
She had to know the pain was beating on me like a drum
She underestimated just who she was stealing from

[b]She's not a saint and she's not what you think
She's an actress, whoa
She's better known for the things that she does
On the mattress, whoa[/b]
Soon she's gonna find
Stealing other people's toys on the playground
Won't make you many friends
She should keep in mind,
She should keep in mind
[b]There is nothing I do better than revenge, ha
[/b]
[b]She looks at life like it's a party and she's on the list
She looks at me like I'm a trend and she's so over it
I think her ever present frown is a little troubling
And, she thinks I'm psycho
'Cause I like to rhyme her name with things, but
Sophistication isn't what you wear, or who you know
Or pushing people down to get you where you wanna go
Oh they didn't teach you that in prep school
So it's up to me
But no amount of vintage dresses gives you dignity
(Think about what you did)[/b]

She's not a saint and she's not what you think
She's an actress, whoa
She's better known for the things that she does
On the mattress, whoa
Soon she's gonna find
Stealing other people's toys on the playground
Won't make you many friends
She should keep in mind,
She should keep in mind
There is nothing I do better than revenge, ha

I'm just another thing for you to roll your eyes at honey
You might have him, but haven't you heard
I'm just another thing for you to roll your eyes at honey
You might have him, but I'll always get the last word
Whoa

And do you still feel like you know what you're doing,
'Cause I don't think you do, oh
Do you still feel like you know what you're doing
I don't think you do, I don't think you do
Let's hear the applause
C'mon show me how much better you are
See you deserve some applause
'Cause you're so much better
She took him faster than you could say sabotage "

How petty, mean and vitriolic is this??
