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]

Interesting Tori wrote about boys and breakups u til she was 33.

All three other women you talk about or raped , to them on multiple occasions, one consistently as a child.

Yeah you’re gonna get a little more rage like that.

Sinead was not a popstar. She was a punk rocker who accidentally made one pop song that ruined our life and eventually lead to her demise.

oh and by the way, Alanis Morissette and Tori is love Taylor, Swift, and Alanis Morissette has performed with her

Okay- good for them! I would sing with Taylor if my way of making money was through singing. I guess I rate her trauma of getting dumped while being a billionaire as much much less than getting raped as a young girl. The thing is Tori Amos also dealt beautifully with rebuilding her self after a break up.  
“When you gonna make up your mind, when you gonna love you as much as I do?”
Taylor just starts talking about touchdowns and trophies.  
Enjoy Taylor, I will be listening to Maggie Roger’s.[/quote]

I’m starting to understand why a lot of people hate Taylor because they have the inability to read and comprehend.

I’ll be listening to Maggie Rogers and Taylor, Swift and Imelda, May and pink and Billy Joel and Rihanna and Griff and a whole host of other people.

It’s wild you [b]only have the ability to listen to one artist at a time[/b][/quote]

Silly- why are you drawing that conclusion? Luckily, I read functionally enough to hold a job.  To be clear, I don’t purposely listen to Taylor because

1. I was molested as a kid.  I have been through lots of therapy and will continue to do that probably for my entire life.  I can’t understand the level of pain she feels as an adult when someone rejects her.  I just don’t.  I work every day to find peace, calm and hope in the minutia of my life as that is truly the only thing that brings contentment.  Hearing her blather on about how hard it is to be a billionaire that was broken up with has little resonance with me.  I can see she is hurt, so I hope she gets better but as an anthem for my life, I don’t identify.

2. I like to badly sing with along melodies at the top of my lungs in the car.  She has a singsong talking thing going on especially with this album, so that doesn’t work for me. I know most of her hits from Kidz Bop.

3. She harkens back to high school in her songs and wants [b]touch downs and trophies[/b].  I gave up thinking I needed that for happiness a long time ago. Her take on life is that traditional Americana values are the key to happiness.  I’m not there.

4. She needs songs about HOW to heal and gain perspective in her life.

NP. I’m not familiar with her catalog of songs. Could you detail which songs mention touchdowns and trophies?[/quote]

One of them is The Alchemy that is about her newest boyfriend Travis. [/quote]

Ok so just the one song? PP was saying that’s what her songs are all about[/quote]
