As always, I'm very impressed that she's able to write these complicated, interesting lyrics.  But at the same time, it's such a word dump!  I love TS but as another poster said, I feel she's really becoming overexposed.  How many albums does she need to put out?  And the constant revenge/pining theme isn't healthy for young girls to internalize.  [/quote]

I disagree. I’m 48 and only now getting in touch with my rage as a woman. I was taught to be a real people pleaser, always be glass half full, and I stuffed so much inside and I don’t think that’s healthy. Maybe it’s not healthy to go too far the other way, but I think her generation is trying to balance some of that and I appreciate it.

I mean, look at what is happening in our own country with women’s rights. I think it’s OK for girls to internalize some bad stuff, it’s not sunshine and roses.[/quote]

I’m 47 and Alanis, Tori and Sinead were my musical rage women. I agree that women need to be in touch with their anger, but they also need to learn to speak it, and act on it (not with aggression, but as a sign that their rights/beliefs are being violated in some way). I don’t think Taylor does the second part well.  She can point out her rage and then sit on stage in front of her fans giving a glitter sparkle performance in a mask.  The singers of our generation were better about being honest about their feelings on and off the stage.  [/quote]
