Are You a Swifty?

No longer my cup of tea. I liked her better when she was a "kid" doing country pop music and using a pitch shifter to stay on key. Now that she’s straight "pop", well, it doesn’t trip my trigger. But whatever. I don’t "get" opera either for the most part, but I still check it out sometimes. The same with Taylor. Last album I sat through was Red. She’s obviously filling a marketing niche and speaks to some people. Good for her. But all the "cult of personality" stuff with some of her extreme fans and our obsessed media is a turnoff. The same can be said of Elon Musk.

I do have to say that I liked Taylor's "Red" better than Adele's last album - which was totally forgettable to me. And I blame Adele's huge influence on record pressing companies that caused so many other worthy vinyl albums to come out months later than they should have.  I mean, I liked 19, 21, and 25. But 30 just seemed forced and way hyped. Underwhelmed.
