No, and she's made it clearer than ever by taking charge of every aspect of her creative process, because now we see that every time she's in the driver's seat, the outcome is extra shitty.

Her "writing" was only passable when she had cowriters like Liz Rose taking the lead.

No. She benefits and weaponizes her white privilege.

The only reason she's this big is because she's had access to wealth her entire life.

Taylor Swift hate on ATRL is getting of control... Leave her alone.

I can't believe releasing one mediocre album suddenly erases 11 excellent prior albums

Madonna, Gaga, Beyoncé etc all have some terrible songs but no one acts like that takes away from Ray of Light, The Fame or Renaissance

According to ATRL: no

According to musicians:

Ringo Starr: "I love Taylor Swift, that's just how I am. I love her."

Bruce Springsteen: "She's a tremendous writer."

Carole King: "Over the years, I have known some great songwriters and I have also known some great singers and performers. It's rare to see all those talents in one person. Taylor Swift."

Adele: "I think Taylor's one of the greatest songwriters of our generation."

Dolly Parton: "I think she's spectacular, [a] great writer, and I love how she presents herself. She's always been such a pro, and I've admired her all these years."

Elton John: "She is a great songwriter, she is a great artist, she's phenomenal. I've never seen such a phenomenon since the Beatles. And she works her ass off"

Billy Joel: "She's like that generation's Beatles"

Britney Spears: "The most iconic pop woman of our generation"

Miley Cyrus: "I love and admire strong women who write their own songs, like Taylor Swift. She is divine!"

Phil Collins: "I'm so pleased that she's the hugest thing in the world now (…). I mean it's easy to knock someone that's got so much success, but I think she really deserves it."

Shania Twain: "I'm a big supporter of Taylor. I think she's just incredibly brilliant."

Hillary Duff: "I don't think the intent back then was sophisticated songwriting. There was no Taylor Swift yet - it's like before Christ and after Christ. (She changed the game?) On all levels."

Jon Bon Jovi: "Taylor Swift is going to be here for as long as she chooses to be."

Patti Smith: "She's trying to do something good."

Stevie Nicks: "Taylor is writing for the universal woman and for the man who wants to know her. The female rock-'n'-roll-country-pop songwriter is back, and her name is Taylor Swift. And it's women like her who are going to save the music business."

Billy Corgan (The Smashing Pumpkins): "Taylor Swift is one of the most gifted pop artists of all time."

Billy Joe Armstrong (Green Day): "Great production. Great voice. Great entertainer. Great songwriting."

Gene Simmons (KISS): "There's no question, Taylor Swift has taken over and she's great"

Keith Urban: "I mean, God, Taylor's songwriting, it's so extraordinary. There's really no adjectives for it. She's such a great, great writer. So this new album (TTPD) is just more proof of that in really great ways."

"She's transformed everything, really. The way you make music, the way you can re-record music. I mean, there's just so many things. She's been incredibly innovative with taking the reigns and taking control of her artistic destination in a really admirable way. She's really one of the great songwriters. I mean, she's great! She's not just really good, she's a great songwriter."

Robbie Williams: "I love Taylor Swift. Who doesn't and who can't?"

Cindy Lauper: "you can really hear her poetry and her voice as a poet. I like her, I think she's terrific. I think she writes some wonderful songs."

Don McLean: "She is a person who is an example of what talent and really hard work can accomplish. She's working all of the time and she does everything that she does better than everybody else, whether it's a video or a performance or songwriting or records or what ever, she does it all, just way better than everybody else and it's really interesting because all of those other acts are suddenly old fashioned."

U2: "Welcome back to our hometown… Leave some of it standing?!!!! Your biggest fan club, Bono, Edge, Adam and Larry."

Raye: "She is just one of those rare timeless artists who gets it right every time. She's an absolute powerhouse.

Shakira: "She is very, very intelligent, and her head is in the right place. Collaborating with her would be a dream!"

Björk: "Concert films have reached a new level with female matriarchs like Beyoncé and Taylor Swift — I am convinced that the female artists of this era are more focused on communion with their musicians, dancers, and fans, and on emotion as their central axis, with its entire range of nuances. And that makes them translate much better as a "concert film," whether in theaters or on television."

John Fogerty: "I have felt very close to Taylor for years because I have a daughter, Taylor is something I shared with my daughter, countless hours of listening and marveling over the wonderful songs. Every time a new album would come, we would listen and I'd shake my head, so many great songs. I sure understood her re-records, and I also felt her pain and the motivation for doing them in the first place. It's great she got them back. Doing my re-records now was a pretty wonderful thing for me, and of course, the inspiration was certainly partly because of what Taylor did"

Ludacris: "Not only is her music phenomenal, but I also feel like it's the person that she is."

Vince Gill: "I'm crazy about her"

Ryan Murphy: "Taylor Swift and Paul McCartney, both of whom are truly incredible artists for the ages"

Slayyyter: "TAYLOR SWIFT IS THE REASON I ASKED FOR A GUITAR FOR CHRISTMAS AS A LITTLE GIRL"

yes, she's just having some kind of writers block I mean shes been working nonstop for like 8 years now

Most of those musicians are also not talented, especially Björk and U2. Their opinion hold no weight at all.

She has some natural predispositions but i wouldn't say she's very gifted. Shes not a natural breathtaking talent, her writing evolved through work and learning, so did her singing and stage presence (even tho those two are still pretty limited). Talent is something you can determine in people who are just starting out, hard work can do wonders on a mid talent.

She's a talented musician, but she's not a good singer or performer

Many of them are in their 70s and 80s, so probably senile too.

"Omg, Taylor Swift sucks, you guys!"

She is, an untalented woman would not be capable of making an Evermore, a Red or a 1989. But she doesn't care anymore. She wants to break records and to break records with her fanbase you don't need good music.

is water dry?

I voted "yes", she's talented when it comes to choosing great gowns, beautiful gowns and growing hair.

She is great at growing her hair

yes, great gowns !!
