    Many people have commented that the Shirelles sang it first. Yes, but Carole King wrote it (with her then husband Gerry). Carole King was being honored for the songs she WROTE and sang. It was so fitting that our current superstar Singer Songwriter Taylor sang this song.

      I have heard Carole say several times, that she considers herself to be a writer, first and foremost. The number of songs she has written is incredible. NOTE; if you get a chance to attend the Broadway Production, "Beautiful", based on Carole's life I highly recommend it.

      She's just a "Pepsi" ad-like model. Her parents recognized they had another 'breathy-sexy' phenomenon/product on their hands. Then they masterfully took her to market. She couldn't write a full melody cogently from intro to outro. God bless her, but she just isn't an inveterate artist like Carol King or Joni Mitchell. She couldn't write a 'magic carpet' like Joni's "Woodstock" to save her life.

Anyone who sings someone’s written music and lyrics would understand, that it should not end once one version has been released. Carol King also sang her song live before. I am impressed when a writer gives permission for their song to be performed. Dolly Parton gave Whitney Houston her permission. She could not give Col Parker any song-writing credit for “I Will Always Love You”, and he did not allow it. She would have so enjoyed hearing it, as would we all. Oh well. Just another reason for Elvis to be so unhappy with his longtime manager. Pricilla said he did sing it to her before they divorced. I think, now, with Dolly still alive, (to give permission) it would have been our pleasure to hear the song in the recent movie, “Pricilla”. Still, even the Beatles have permitted their original songs to be performed by others, and it is kind.

      Just a reccomendation from someone whose been a fan of her for her entire career (despite not really listening to country since childhood): If you like this, the vibe from this is very "Midnights," if that's what you like. If you're interested in seeing the very best of her work as a songwriter, I highly suggest "Evermore" and "Folklore." "Epiphany" is the song that I hope, 100 years from now, she's remembered for. It's absolutely incredible, but *very* hard to listen to on a regular basis because it's about healthcare workers & the pandemic, and it is brutal. But *insanely* good.

Listen to her JUST SING (without all the electronic crap added on top). She is actually quite good and I wish she would sing that way ALL the time.

I like songs that I can sing along with and not have to stop because, uh-oh, this or that artist is doing some run that goes on for two minutes or hitting a high note that could crack glass. Taylor isn't just the sum of her voice though, but writes and produces her own songs as well which is something that most of the artists out there don't even do. She writes thought-provoking songs that are art because she paints with words on the tapestry of her life and puts us all right there in the moment with her, while also writing songs that are totally relatable in our own lives, which is another reason that she is so beloved and has so many fans. But you would know this if you spent as much time doing the research on her artistry as you do leaving negative comments about her. Did someone blonde and tall hurt you? Here's a hug... 🤗

    It’s interesting how a lot of folks expose their jealousy or insecurity or pettiness by denigrating someone who is obviously so much more successful and/or talented than they are. Even if you don’t agree with Taylor Swift’s politics (I don’t) or feel she has too much money (she earned every dollar), or is too pretty (well, she just is) she has worked very hard to make it look so easy. If you believe anyone could do it, there are lots of empty stadiums in the world just waiting for YOU to come and sell them out night after night. Go for it!
    Talor Swift is only the latest example of this envy, but before her there have been many. Michael Jackson, Prince, the Beatles, Elvis, and others too numerous to name have put up with this pettiness; it goes way back. “Mozart is OK I guess, but he’s no Beethoven”.
    She makes music that most people enjoy (maybe not you, but most). She doesn’t hurt a single soul but helps many. Her time will eventually pass and the next phenom will arise. While she is working to entertain you, just enjoy the show. Stop making yourself look so petty.

      Well said! Hatefuleness only tells us about the hater, and nothing good. Pettiness and snottiness towards someone you don't even know says to the rest of us that you are small and unhappy. If you are not a fan of her music, that's fine because not everyone is a fan or open to listening to anything but one or two genres, so just say THAT! Saying you hate TAYLOR herself and you don't even know her personally or because you are listening to some gossip rag that hates Taylor (they don't personally know Taylor either)? How sheep-like! Haters are the epitome of sheeple!

    Now is the time for the women of the world to wield the mighty hammer of Rock and Roll and build a better future.
    Taylor, Miley, Beyonce, Gaga and every woman with a voice does a "We're Not Gonna Take It" video and then promotes regular women and girls doing that song. Gogos, Bangles, Runaways, and all of the famous rockers do the song. Cher suits up and brings the heat. Cindy Lauper does it with an unknown garage band. Dolly does it acoustic and soulful. Billie does it some kind of way that rocks the world.
    Athletes, Teachers, Librarians, Nurses, Actors, TV celebrities, Moms and Daughters in huge groups around the world singing their anthem as well as all the great new songs that come out of this.
    Just like after the Beatles, young people everywhere want musical instruments and lessons. Give them all they want in the schools.
    Set the goal of every kid, everywhere in the world having access to music and art. Materials and instruction.
    Girl Powered Rock and Roll spreads over the world bringing peace, freedom, good governance and lots of inspired young musicians wanting to protect the planet.
    The Beatles changed the world. At that time, the girls were in no condition for a mission like this, but they sure are ready now. It’s time for women to lead the way invested with the power of Rock and Roll. Take it ladies!
