She writes music that has meaning to *her* audience. Just because *her* audience isn’t the same people as the idiot author of this story belongs to doesn’t mean it’s any less valid than what Dylan or Joni wrote. Just another kind of twit that gives ‘Boomer’ a bad name.
She’s the biggest entertainer on the planet, her fans love her, and she writes music that gives voice and validity to what *HER* audience feels and lives.
Just some quasi-ignorant old fart who has probably never even had an album go gold or platinum or filled a stadium.
Critics suck.
I thought this was a fairer critic than most - giving credit to objective talent where its due even though he is not in the fanbase?
I thought this was a fairer critic than most - giving credit to objective talent where its due even though he is not in the fanbase? And to add to that: at a time where so many voices are silenced and viewpoints cancelled, why is Swift’s material (both live and recorded) rising to the top? Is the large Swift following a sign or a healthy culture overall with — promoting high aspirations, healthy ways of facing the complexities of life in today’s world, or one that’s problematic with declining tastes and character. Clearly she sings songs designed to be more than just mere escape.
