Why all the hype for such patent mediocrity?


Her singing is no better than a karaoke regular. Her songs could be knocked out by any halfway competent 12-year-old. I don't get it.

We've always had pop trash, and that's fine. But people are writing about this rather unspectacular woman like she's some kind of towering, generational talent to stand alongside Kate Bush or Stevie Nicks. And her deranged cult of "swifties" are truly unbearable.

Cuz we all out of young Madonnas.

I just want to mention that she is extremely good at marketing herself. Methodically, for years, she gathered this rabid fan base. My daughter was one of them...until Taylor started selling multiple "versions" of her albums to get all her little fans to shell out even more money than one record would cost. My daughter, her number one fan, recognized this as grifting.

Also, name one female in the world who loves herself as much as this star loves herself. That's some magnificent self-esteem; kudos to the parents.

I think her confidence tips into the realm of narcissism, though.
