Are You a Swifty?


I am. I think she's great.

And You?

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.

No, am not a fan. She is vapid and talentless; unless you include her ability to brainwash weak minded humans and fish. Which will come in handy when she runs for office.

73 here…have yet to hear more than a snippet of one of her songs…mostly a classical listener these days…
