Freakshowvato Posted September 23, 2023 Posted September 23, 2023 Shes a prolific songwriter / musician and clearly very passionate about music. Not many pop stars relate
Otter Posted September 23, 2023 Posted September 23, 2023 I'm not a Swifty but I love her vocal delivery during the verses on Anti-Hero, which one of favourite pop songs of recent memory & a perfect example of introspective writing in bubbly pop form. Generally her recorded vocals are great, simple but poised and emotive.
réveuse Posted September 23, 2023 Posted September 23, 2023 (edited) Beautiful, smart, and skilled. Edited September 23, 2023 by réveuse

Is this an attempt to shade Beyonce? Send them both to the stage with only a mic and let’s see who fares better. 1 1
Weld_E Posted September 23, 2023 Posted September 23, 2023 Casual fan here. She’s a good song writer and is quite versatile. I think she is talented and is a hard worker, but is vastly overrated.

Kiss It Better Posted September 23, 2023 Posted September 23, 2023 hard working and calculated well-planned
StonedSoulPicnic Posted September 23, 2023 Posted September 23, 2023 She's a prolific musician with a fantastic catalog.

naval23 Posted September 23, 2023 Posted September 23, 2023 Her confidence is amazing - when she gives us something, you know she fully believes in it - see ME!
naval23 Posted September 23, 2023 Posted September 23, 2023 Also her catalogue is amazing - cardigan is one of the few times where I've had a visceral reaction just listening to a song the first time

It's very rare in an increasingly apathetic world. Not three pages and this possibly the *only* reply to actually answer the question without still resorting to either examples of her success ("SMART businesswoman!!") or her rank amongst critical success ("the BEST songwriter!!") without actually articulating one's own thoughts.and feelings. And I think what you've said is actually what I would rank as what I love about her music the most, or at least the through-line of what I've enjoyed since 2007. Especially for the first five albums. The imagery, even when simple, touches on really specific emotions. I believe she fully believes what she's feeling. An album like Speak Now really encapsulates that particular strength. Even songs that have aged out like Better Than Revenge are saved by capturing real emotions that someone Taylor's age would feel. And then to see her try her hand at Top 40 songwriting and succeed in bringing that same sensibility is what makes much of Red and, particularly, 1989 rewarding as listens. People hate Welcome to New York for how much it's been wheeled out, I think, but even a line like "and you can want who you want, boys and boys and girls and girls," despite the over-abundance of mid-2010s straight corporate allyship at the time, feels believably earnest in the imagery of Taylor as a Pennsylvanian transplant in awe of a new open-ness she's never seen before. (Part of that is why reputation exposed some shortcomings in her sense of self. That earnesty was now turned towards her own ideas about her celebrity and public criticism about her outside of her music, and she essentially wrote an album of: "Oh? You're going to mildly criticize me? Guess I'm the worst ******* person alive and, if everyone here clearly ******* hates me, I'll just hide up in my castle with my prince while you wait down below with your pitchforks. #TheWitchTheyCouldntBurn!!!!". And that a lot of the work became bogged down by being often at odds with reality. She's since tried to course-correct this with a new writing style, but I kind of hate the soliloquy style of writing about fictional oil heiresses living in empty mansions in small-town Rhode Island, so the swamp witch albums haven't been for me. Willow is one of her best songs though and Midnights feels like a return to that kind of earnesty seen on her first five records).
jakeisphat Posted October 1, 2023 Posted October 1, 2023 She rode Taylor Lautner's cock when he was at his peak... Love her for that. 1

That is why she seems to have a alot of anxiety about aging and being forgotten and replaced in her songs.
