I guess I hadn’t given Taylor as an entertainer very much thought. I completely overlooked the lesbian angle, which you have remarked on. That does tend to explain a bunch of things having to do with Ms Swift. I have, however, always respected her and her Dad Scott Swift for making the most out of her career with good business decisions.
FunFact: Scott Swift, (Father of Taylor) is a longtime stockbroker and financial planner. He is the descendant of three generations of Bank Presidents.

Business is one thing. Musical supposed talent is another, and there is little to none in this callous individual and her daddy, that’s just fine.
Spielberg is full of .. Spiel as in the yiddish “a play or long rambling speech”. And, being in the entertainment business is what he is seeking/giving backing—to or from her for his partnership or whatever. Again, just fine— but has nothing to do with talent, and nothing to do with saying that NO other songwriter in the Hall of Fame can compare. That is palpably ridiculous, provably so. Others here will list the major songwriters all the way back to golden age/Tin Pan Alley and they number as giants in the hundreds. Not opinion, fact. This is Spielberg’s opinion.
Keeping in mind that without Toby Keith’s help in this cutthroat industry, she would not have made any more than a miley cyrus kind of impression. She said nothing at his death, and that says a lot (he was not grooming or “doing” her).
Not arguing taste— which is foolish to argue always. Example:: lutefisk is a preserved fish Christmas fish/cod that gains a gelatinous quality (revolting to most who are not Finns, Swedes or Norwegians) when re-hydrated. No arguing taste- it either is or isn’t. Gelatinous is a good comparison to a lot of fakirs in “music” of which there are legions.
