She needs to pay more attention to melody and harmony and less attention to lyrics in her writing. Her earlier stuff was enjoyable when she was more produced.

I tire of the idea that the only way to express your femininity is through ice skating costumes and gowns.

She can’t dance.

She and her parents have done an amazing job with marketing and playing to her talents.

Have you heard any of these songs? She has some beautiful melodies and harmonies:
Run (duet w/Ed Sheeran)
The Albatross
Exile (w/Bon Iver)
Nothing New (Phoebe Bridgers)
Marjorie
August
The Last Great American Dynasty
Invisible String
Anti-Hero
Clean

Yes it's impressive morning negative about her head come out from behind the scenes and ppl who work for her. That's extraordinary for someone at that level of fame and productivity.

Both music and personality

Of course

She literally just fed a bunch of people , treats her employees well and is a good human

What’s not to like?

Musk and Trump have never fed a sole but their fat fingers

The radio hits and earlier stuff are occasional listens (usually with my kids who we avoid the more mature stuff with), but there are certain songs that are on heavy rotation for me. Reputation is fun. I watched the Eras tour movie and loved it. Listening to the shift in perspective as she matures is fascinating.

Her personality— I think she’s messy and interesting. She pretty fully owns her flaws as a person and romantic partner (and a dancer, lol). Not getting her current fashion choices at all, but I’m also ten years older than her and deeply uncool, so.

Odd take.
If she likes what she’s wearing that’s all that matters.

She’s well aware she’s not a dancer. She has an entire music video poking fun at herself/her dancing.

Of course. In my “odd” mind, what she enjoys isn’t all that matters because she has entire bookshelves full of books for young girls and she is contributing to the idea that to be a woman is to be in thigh- high boots, sparkly gowns and ice skating costumes.

All of which can contribute to young girls developing a sense that what they look like is more important than who they are. Taylor is open about the fact that she had/has an eating disorder, but she seems a bit clueless what contributed to it and how her image can help or hinder the growth of self esteem in young girls.

YMMV of course, but that is my “odd take.”

She uses her fans identifying with her to advance her music sales and her image. I feel the same way about that as I did about Oprah when she had her talk show and always talked about her weight. Her hook was that we were supposed to identify with her weight struggles and want to watch her because she was like us - except she was not like us because she was worth hundreds of millions and had a national TV show. Taylor is basically the millennial musical Oprah.

This is such a true observation!
