brazil Posted June 16 Posted June 16 Yeah, I always find it odd when her fans use her songwriting as a brag, it feels like she's still stuck in high school 11 1

spiritboy Posted June 16 Posted June 16 I think it's okay to find someone's music bland but it's not okay to insult an entire fanbase. 1

Kimbra Posted June 16 Posted June 16 1 hour ago, Wicked said: Its interesting to see more and more writers begging for Pop artists to be more adventurous. I think her being this successful with music that isn't pushing any needles bothers people. I will say the lyrics isn't the biggest issue, it's the arrangements. They're so flavorless everytime I try to recall my favorite tracks off folklore I have to go back and listen again to jog my memory. They don't stick. She needs a collaborator that can bring more interesting compositions to the table. idc if you talk about relationships, I do care if its over a basic arrangement with the life EQ'd out of it. Boom. That's it. Her albums post since Reputation sound fatigued due to the repetitive arrangements. 1 3
Bey'Knight Posted June 16 Posted June 16 She needs a therapist instead of excising her demons on the debut weeks of other female artists. 3 1 1

réveuse Posted June 16 Posted June 16 They're right, and they should say it! Taylor is the most uninspired, bland, mediocre, and untalented artist out there. Why she is the biggest star is perplexing to me. 8
Cooper Posted June 16 Posted June 16 I'm so glad this person does not have the intellect of a worm, so she could write such a good article. Good work indeed.

I think some accessible versions of songs from 22, A Million would be amazing. I could hear Taylor on 666 ʇ production with a more pop structure of course. 1

It's bad enough as it is, but then you realise she did the same thing with another album just 8 months ago… and ANOTHER album 4 months before that… and ANOTHER album 6 months before that… and that's just the albums. There are tour tickets, cinema tickets, merchandise, the list goes on. Taylor takes it to a new extreme, but the sad thing is that basically every single one of our faves is doing it. Capitalism has well and truly taken over the music industry
dawnettakins Posted June 16 Posted June 16 She's appealing to the millions and masses because she appeals to and does the least common denominator. Never anything challenging, boundary pushing, or unexpected. And that's the point. To appeal to as many people as possible to maximize profit as much as is literally possible, and not shakeup anything that might hurt that. Meaning nothing controversial or which is otherwise likely to challenge the narrative. 1
Patient Zero Posted June 16 Posted June 16 (edited) They spilled I fear. She's bland and her music is even blander. And to quote Linda Perry "I wonder if she even likes her own music." But she found her demography consisting mainly out of vulnerable white girls who relate to her dear diary/high school drama songs. And Taylor surely loves to expoit them. Edited June 16 by Patient Zero 1
dawnettakins Posted June 16 Posted June 16 At the end of the day, it devoids her of really any artistic merit and has pretty much tarnished her artistic integrity atp. These endless variants and punching down at other female artists has made sure of that. It's all about the profit, numbers, and capitalist game with her for her own ego and bank account. 1
Donquizote Posted June 16 Posted June 16 Evermore and Folklore are not basic though. Newspaper should ban bitter gay from writing a review or opinion piece.
Sabrina Carpenter Posted June 16 Posted June 16 this pathetic effort to diminish her songwriting abilities only tells me that she IS a talented songwriter because why else would these people be threatened enough to write articles about it
