celeb news Music critic: "Taylor massively overhyped. Critics afraid of backlash from Swifities"

[brazil]

Music critic, Kara Kennedy, mentions that other critics might be afraid to call out the reality due to Swifities vicionousness online. Believes Taylor to be basic and is puzzled by current success:

Thoughts?

How is the biggest artist this century with one of the biggest tours in history "overhyped"? I'll keep it cute but there are certainly other artists who are overhyped more than Taylor. She has the GP success along with the acclaim.

Thats precisely what she addresses in the article tho

 

But when it comes to Swift, I have never understood it. And as her fandom grows ever more deranged, as the media flocks to her side en masse, publishing breathless op-eds about how she is single handedly fending off the US recession with a tour that is predicted to fetch a record-busting $1.4 billion, or how her massing fans have caused literal ‘earthquakes’ at stadium venues (fact check: these tremors are a common occurrence with big stadium tours and sports games), I can’t help but think that this deification of Taylor Swift is neither healthy – nor deserved.

To me, Taylor Swift is just fine. And there will be plenty more like her. But somehow the universe is in a collective trance, unable to admit it.

 

If you read the New York Times this week, you will have seen a dance critic call Taylor’s moves ‘simple and unoriginal’, ‘stiff and awkward’, ‘imprecise and physically uncommitted’, yet still reach the conclusion that this parade of gawkiness is ‘powerful’, and ‘exceptionally effective’.

Daily mail has music critics now? 

[TayGod]

Where did you get the idea that Kara is a music critic? She writes for a rag called the Spectator. She isn't a music critic. Daily Mail picked up her story for clicks.

[VinylKing]

After all the media has put her through she def deserves the hype and critics deserve to be bashed - they were tolerated enough LOL

Typical "I don't like it, so therefore everyone who does is pretending to and won't admit it" response from OTHs. Great articles, beautiful paragraphs. Next.

They aren’t wrong. Midnights was a terrible album riding off of hype. She’s overexposed atm

[Happylittlepunk]

I agree. I know like 5 songs by her and I think there’s nothing interesting about it. To each their own, but yeah. Overhyped imo

And? That would only be relevant if the criticism was about a trans artist

"Critics afraid of backlash from Swifities"

 

This part is true tho. Look at how BTS is getting acclaim too with their annoying music
