Taylor Swift can play guitar, compose music, and perform live. I don’t like her music or her personally, but she’s generating about a billion dollars in revenue and employing hundreds if not thousands via live gigs.

Yoko…well…can’t do any of the above. Unless you consider screeching to be musical.

Swift is a zillion times more talented than Yoko.

You're missing the point.

Yoko Ono was blamed for breaking up the beatles.

And no, Taylor Swift is not being blamed for breaking up the beatles.

Way back when, National Lampoon printed a mock retraction in one of their issues. Inconspicuous, as they usually are, it read to the effect: “In our last issue, we referred to Yoko Ono as a no-talent hack, living off of the fortune and reputation of her dead husband. Miss Ono is a performance artist. We regret the error.”

The analogy isn’t about musical talents. Yoko Ono is credited for creating distractions which lead to the breakup of the Beatles.
