    Taylor Swift successfully sells the contradiction that you can be one of the most powerful and beloved pop stars in the world, and still be victimized by the (often very normal) people around you.https://n.pr/2N4rqBk

        When Aretha was asked her opinion about several singers, when the interviewer said Taylor Swift, Aretha said, nice gowns.

        Kinda sounds like she just victimizes herself and just doesn’t enjoy what she has accomplished... IMO...

        This article asserts that Swift writes about herself too much and also that she’s not authentic. You don’t have to like her, but gimme a break with that argument.

        Some of her songs are catchy, but I really don't find her persona sympathetic whatsoever.

        This would have been a good article if the writer actually knew Taylor Swift music. First pop album was RED. In her hip hop influence part she argues that Taylor was influenced by a song that came out in 2013 when she wrote a song that came out in 2010. How did that work?

        I’m going to be honest with you...this article makes a pretty valid argument that Taylor Swift is a rapper.

        Yeah, it’s actually more so about how she’s influenced by Hip Hop. Evidently she’s the Tupac of pop music beef battling.

        victimized? are actually serious with this? the high school level pettiness she has been subjected to AMD participated in is nothing close to being worthy of the word victimized...that’s just insulting and exactly part of the reason people can’t stand her entitled ass
