Taylor Swift

Why is she so popular? He music sucks, and I thik she only breaks up with boys and dates others for song ideas. What a sad and pathetic way to make music

The epitome of generic music.

Lame manufactured "music" and image that appeals to the lowest common denominator. 🤮

I will give her one star since she's not completely devoid of musical talent.

I'm chanting my rating from a 5/100 to a 55/100 and will add a second review now that I'm a little older. Let's get a few things clear: Taylor Swift makes music that appeals to a lot of people. She's smart at the music industry, a good wordsmith from time to time, a successful business person, and one of the most successful artists of all time. Taylor Swift is worth orders of magnitude more than my or anyone else's opinion on this website.

That said, I still think she mostly follows trends, and is successful because of her palatable public image, successful corporate marketing, and very privileged and opportunistic entry into the music industry.

No one has ever accused her of being a bad songwriter, her music is good. Her lyrics are good. No one's ever accused her of being groundbreaking or original either. From Max to Jack to Aaron, she finds the people who can make the commercially successful music she wants to create, and pays them a lot of money, and makes decent music. Puts out an album every couple years, everyone gets paid. It's a good deal for the people involved I'm sure, and people resonate with it.

Is she a top 10 pop artist of the last decade? In my opinion, no, not even close. I don't have a problem with anyone liking her sound, or her music, where I take issue with is when people put her on the level of Lennon and McCartney and dub her the greatest songwriter of the generation. Just no.... can we just pump the breaks with all that?

Taylor Swift is good. Her music is good. There's nothing wrong with liking Taylor Swift, there's an endearing floor and ceiling to her music which is the charm. She did her thing and it's for some people, and not for others. I listen to her music, give every album 3-4 listens, think "this is fine" then I forget about her until the next one and try to ignore the fact that everyone from CNN to the NFL is trying to push this on me. No she's not my favorite pop artist, and it upsets me that more people don't know about who the actual innovative pop artists are, but that's not Taylor's fault. She's not a music deity, and she's not a trash pop artist, she's just an enterprising businessperson who knows how to create commercially successful music. She's filling the void that someone else otherwise would have.
