Are You a Swifty?


I am. I think she's great.

And You?

She is a talentless, mid 7, middle age bimbo media creation with low music proficiency that got her boost by having influence with a manipulatable voting block who won't show up to vote anyway.  Cue the haters.  Isn't this forum about musical excellence?  This board makes Brittany Spears look like Beverly Sills. 

Or, instead of subtle sexism, we could just have really full-on, super-gross, troglodyte blather.  
That’s also an option.

Wtf was that vitriol filled rant about?  Somebody didn't get their pirate booty today.  So sad

I don't like the way she takes so much money from her fans who really shouldn't be spending that kind of money on her tickets.

Seems pretty greedy to me.

OK. I'm 68 years old and had no opinion about Taylor (other than a feeling that too many teenage girls were fans and how good could that be?). I bought Ryan Adams album "1989" which was his version of her album of the same name. I thought it was excellent. My wife liked it too and decided to buy some Taylor CDs--starting with "1989". Well---I can't say I would buy her albums on my own but I have to say that she has a great knack for pop melodies and is clearly a very good lyricist.  The complaint of too many break up songs is legitimate but they do speak to her genuineness and vulnerability which connects  especially well with girls and women.  In fact, I do enjoy her albums when the wife plays them and they are very well produced and engineered. I think that might make me a Swiftie.  Oh well, so be it.
