Songs like "Bejeweled" make me kinda hate her. Whining that a man isn't giving her attention befitting to her queenly status. Fuck you Taylor - your song sounds like something Louis XIV would have written (with a melody taken from a My Little Pony song)

Taylor Swift Is the Greatest Songwriter of All Time
What I've discovered -- much to the affect of Taylor's swift way of living -- is that your life can be whatever may come of it. Your twenties don't have to be dark and twisted, with dreams becoming timestamped to your teenage imagination. It's yours to create.

She's a fantastic talent.
Heck of a songwriter, super performer.
And she's a star that makes people feel good about being a fan.
She's as real a deal as a phenomenally successful superstar can be.
Imagine that she has all this industry power, and she strives to use it for good.
That woman spreads so much goddamn joy, she deserves some kinda Nobel or something.
Also, she told me in this song that she loves me. Which is cool too.

Haha @Deadmanposting I think your current wave of joie de vivre is clouding your judgement

I appreciate she is a global megastar with frighteningly loyal fans, but after all this time I only know about one and a half songs; Shake it Off and something about Romeo and Juliet kissing under the bleachers. I'm not actively avoiding her music either.

Haha. I mean maybe, man. Who knows. I can only see things as I am.
We know certain planets exist because of the effect they have on other bodies. TayTay's effects seem almost universally positive.
Anyone that has daughters or nieces will know that tween & teen girl joy is one of the most special things that exists.
Swift gives so much of that wonderful energy to the world, I can't see past it.
The fandom seems like a virtuous circle. They love her, she loves them back.
I've seen video of fans dancing outside shows in the pouring rain - they're not even at the show. And they're singing along to every word, and they're happy as all get out. And they're not drunk or high, they are just happy to be with other humans sharing this thing.
Maybe listen to the Ryan Adams 1989 (if you care enough to see if the songs are good)
That's how I got into her. The joy followed.
In full disclosure, I'm high AF on endorphins rn
Well if this is a measure of a performer, then all you have to do to be great is sing Fields of Athenry or Sweet Caroline in any Irish pub
(I'm saying this facetiously obvs, but the joy of a pub-goer roaring along with one of the above is as real as anyone else's joy)

Haha. For sure. 100%Well if this is a measure of a performer, then all you have to do to be great is sing Fields of Athenry or Sweet Caroline in any Irish pub

Boozers have a ball. No doubt.
And it's as valid as any other release from life.
I suppose it's like she makes sense of the world for these girls. It's a blizzard of emotions and boys and feelings and who the heck am I? who am I gonna be? and who knows what else (a 50-something man can only understand kids so much).
But she makes them feel like all this is ok, and that it will be ok and they're not alone, and they're in it together.
Maybe that's what being drunk is like too.
If The Smiths or whoever made sense of the world for sad boys like me whose world wasn't much bigger than their bedroom and the rest of it seemed utterly daunting, then she's doing something similar for these kids. But hitting them with some upside too.
Anyways, I'm gonna stop typing. I think y'all get it.

I'm thinking more of the way they band together to destroy anyone that speaks ill of Swift. It's vicious.

Yeah, I certainly wouldn't cross them.
(kidding, never seen this tbh - but not doubting you)
I think the lack of respect bothers people. But that's me guessing.

Lots of these kinds of stories over the last few years
Taylor Swift fans sent me death threats, doxxed my family, and accused me of being a pedophile after I criticized her Eras Tour
An article I wrote comparing Taylor Swift and Beyoncé's concerts sparked death threats, doxxing of my family, and plans to accuse me of pedophilia.

Never heard this before. After first listen it's going in the top tier along with shake it off.
Maybe i'll get a ticket for this gig. Any going?

Like I don't doubt that this happened. But also this guy seems to be enjoying making some hay off of it.
And I don't doubt that the internet is a toxic sludgehole, but I am just more drawn to the joy side of what she brings
Probably because Taylor is the reason my niece picked up a guitar
She has at least one good song, because I was listening to a friend's playlist and a good song came on and about half way through it I said "Oh, huh. This is a good song, who is this from?", and she said it was Taylor S Swift, Esquire. And I did an Obama not bad face, nodded slightly because I'd heard of Taylor Swift and I felt I'd like to convey that there was recognition on my part, and then carried on with the conversation.
Therefore at least one exists. I'm not sure which song it was, however.
She's also about 19 feet tall. Plus or minus, I'm not certain on those numbers. The take home was she's taller than I imagined.
