LOL....you conveniently ignored my points based on factual reality:

1. TS is a fraud who records low IQ “songs”.
2. Joni Mitchell is waaaaay beyond TS in the complexity of her songwriting - from her chord structure & lyrical composition to requiring jazz musicians with the chops to read & play her advanced musical chords.

Nice try from a typical TS “low IQ-er”

We used to call TS-like songs “Bubble gum music” because it’s so simple...even a caveman could write it.

“Nice try from a typical TS “low IQ-er”

First of all. I have never attended a Taylor Swift concert or purchased any of her musical works. I do believe I have ever even searched/played her music on my Spotify account.

I do recall watching her as a teenager when she first appeared on the Country Music Awards many years ago.
Even then as a teenager I thought she had star appeal.

I typically do not listen to pop music at all. Rhythm and blues is more to my liking. I am 61. So I grew up listening to classic rock from the 60s & 70s.

You seem to assume I am a Taylor Swift fan and twice made derogatory statements regarding my IQ because of your incorrect assumptions.

All I have stated is that she is one of the most successful female singer songwriters of all time. Comparable to Madonna, Carly Simon and Joni Mitchell.

Yes, all her songs are very simplistic. Her target audience(the people actually BUYING her music) are teenage and younger girls. However, I know women in their thirties, forties and even fifties that are fans of her. Some of which spent thousands of dollars to take their daughter to her concert in Foxborough last summer. These are woman who make six figure incomes. A couple make MID six figure incomes.

So, you can bad mouth her simplistic writing, music and style. She certainly is NOT as good as a singer as Adele. She is not the musician that many woman who attended Berkley School of Music. She can not begin to play the guitar nearly as good as Bonnie Raitt. However, none of those people can sell out multiple nights at stadiums all over the world. Oh, and as far as my IQ. I graduated from SUNY & Syracuse University with a 3.65 GPA in Wood Products Engineering and a Minor in Marketing. I am a member of the phi Beta Kappa natioanal honor society. I am a 100% straight commission lumber trader. That means I earn EVERY dollar that I am paid.
