Her latest album is a blatant rip off of Lana Del Rey’s sound and style. So much so that it’s downright pathetic.

Lana Del Rey probably takes it as a compliment.

What exactly is Lana Del Rey’s “sound” and “style” and how may one “blatantly rip-off” such?
Lana’s songs, whether one prefers one over the other, will always be more harmonically, structurally and melodically sophisticated than Taylor’s, and dare I say her lyrics present greater sophistication as well.
Nevertheless, there is nothing so distinct in Lana’s music to constitute a “unique sound” that may be “ripped off” by anyone.
Languid vocal delivery, pop song construction of well-trodden means, and a few string arrangements mixed in with electronic percussion…Lana has no unique claim to such.

Absolutely. Adele has mentioned Lana as a great influence and she certainly took that as a compliment as well.

Well, I do not see why that should be "pathetic."
