Bingo. His career will be short lived if it’s reliant on gimmicks/try-hard “shock” value.

I mean, this is a music forum. We talk about all pop music. So not really.

By degrading Christian imagery, he is selling “look at me, I’m edgy!” but mocking Christians isn’t edgy, it’s the safest options (Christians are the most persecuted religious group worldwide). So lame.

You’re right. Pop stars mocking Christianity to appear edgy is the safest thing they could ever do. If they want to actually be edgy, they would mock Islam or Judaism, that would actually be controversial.

Yes and it’s disrespectful for Swifties to compare Taylor to Michael Jackson, who never played it safe and whose cultural impact can be felt in all areas of music today. Taylor charged a lot of money to see The Eras concert. Swifties will throw money at everything she releases. She’s on a billion-dollar tour and charged $20 a ticket to see her concert in theatres. Capitalism gone wild.

Boring, stale, tired.

Taylor sells a lot of music the same way McDonald’s sells a lot of burgers and French fries, but legacy matters more than sales.

This was a highly contestable decision by TIME. Few would dare argue that Taylor Swift is as important as world leaders and business giants worth hundreds of billions of dollars.

Can’t wait to hear his new album.

Just like Madonna, Gaga has a Golden Globe for both acting and music. That’s impressive, good for her.

Madonna has won two Golden Globes. In 1997, Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture for Evita. In 2012, Best Original Song for W.E. One for acting and one for music. She has had 7 nominations in total.

Hopefully the music sounds better than this cover looks.

She should consider an extended break (5-7 years). It would be good for her.

Barbie, then Renaissance. Can’t think of anything else that comes close.
