They still fail to make pop that is whatsoever fulfilling or interesting." Reply

"Reading comments for this album, all I can think about this site is that people here either have a great sense of humor, an awful taste or are completely nuts. Taylor Swift a great songwriter? Please tell me you're joking." Reply

"I consider myself someone with fairly decent tastes in music, although I do shamelessly enjoy some pop princesses. If you look at my overall chart, Speak Now is my #2 of all time (though there's no way it would be if I made that list today, so I need to do a big update at some point). However I h..." Reply
