Adele writes about her break ups and no one ever criticized her because TS doesn’t write as a victim and holds players accountable and that is something men don’t like. She also has written about times she treated her man wrong but that is never talked about because the hate must go on.
Taylor Swift doesn't write as a victim? Her entire public and artistic construction has revolved around her victimization, victim of the bad boys she chose, victim of the leonine contracts she signed,
If Taylor has played a role it is that of the victim
Oh right, it is not about the ‚who the song is about’ game that she started with her fans. And not about the fact that she herself said many times that she does write about them. And not about the fact that she uses descriptions that make it possible to recognise who she writes about. It is not just some ‚you’ or ‚him’.
@@bip5395 and many male artists have done that too but clearly you have internalized misogyny, hope you find self love some day
@@PeaceIsWork give me examples 😂 because it is so easy to say ‘man did the same’ when you give no examples 😂
I do love myself. I also am smart enough to notice differences in seemingly same things if there are some. TS fed you her well prepared lines on why it is misogyny to call her out for it, when she was doing it differently than men she compared herself to.
@@bip5395 Bruno Mars maybe? (i don't wanna start a fight, i'm giving u the example)
Don't feel bad about your previous opinion, it was widely held by the media and general population for many years! 💘
One note I'd love to add is just that even if music is specifically made for "teenage girls", that shouldn't have a negative connotation. Teenage girls are incredibly intelligent, emotionally aware, and at the helm of pop culture. People looked down on The Beatles for their teenage girl fanbase, yet we know how their body of work is appreciated now. Teenage girls have great taste!
Omg hi Ally I love your channel
Yes exactly!! I don’t understand why people think an artist/band having a fan base pertaining of teenage girls or just teenage AFABS in general as ‘bad music’. Some of them are bound to be misses, but that doesn’t mean they’re all bad. It’s probably the (possibly internalised or not) misogyny, that the views of women, and younger women in particular are ‘less worthy’ and therefore terrible. I mean, name one thing a teenage girl can be into without getting made fun of for it. :/ My dad is the rock & hiphop style of music listener, and after watching the eras tour movie with me & my mother he said that he actually thinks Taylor is really good and that he’s a ‘swiftie’, lol! I do wonder if these people put their prejudices aside & actually listened to a Taylor album, keeping the lyrics in mind, if they’d actually be more into her? Anyways, sorry for the rant. Amazing comment. 😅😊🫶
Hi ally! You are absolutely correct
OMG ALLY ILYSM
You're 100% correct, people in a decade will look back at Taylor Swift as one of if not the best songwriter of all time
But that's just the thing though... they keep shifting goal posts one minute it's "8 year olds" "teenage girls" "millennial white women" when it's so no true😢
As a poet and novelist, I've already studied Swift's lyrics, her deft use of metaphors, twisted cliches, and imagistic narratives. I want to take this class! Unfortunately, I live in California and am not a Harvard alum. 😊 Maybe I can go and audit Stanford's planned course “All Too Well (Ten Week Version)". Great reaction! Sometimes it's good to be wrong.
Every one of her songs evoke emotion. That is a writer and a poet!
Great course name abd concept with 10 weeks etc.
I also misjudged her. I thought she was another manufactured product but I've come to realize she's incredibly smart and bold. Politically, financially. socially... and yes, creatively... she has an awareness and maturity that eludes most people throughout their lives. She's "clean" as a role model, she works hard and so... I can respect that. She deserves all her success.
I am to blame for that, too. When I saw her in the video of Love Story I thought she was absolutely gorgeous, so I thought "There's no way this Victoria's Secret model with the perfect face writes her own songs". I guess it was "Fallacy of the Just world", it was hard to believe that someone THAT pretty could also be that talented and that young. Also, her songs were innocent, with an idealized view of love...
Then she came out with Back to December admitting she had screwed up and I thought "Oh, maybe she writes the lyrics".
And then she came out with "I knew you were trouble" and dared write "shame on me now" and "A new notch in your belt is all I'll ever be" and I thought: "There's no way a group of men are writing this. Companies milk successful bands for what they are as they are, they don't try to reinvent the lyrics or the sound... There's no way a committe of producers chose this blond-blue-eyed 50s picture perfect spitting image of innocence and wrote "A new notch in your belt is all I'll ever be" for her to sing. She is the real deal".
Then Lorde mentioned she was uncomfortable with someone she admires so much as Swift being so beautiful and many idiots saw it as an attack on Swift. I understand Lorde there. It took me a few records to believe Swift was writing her own songs, because she looks SO good. I mean, there have been pretty songwriters (Dolly Parton comes to mind), but Swift is stunningly beautiful, she has an incredibly lovely face with a body that can share the catwalk with Victoria's Secret models in equal terms. And talent, and a supportive family (with a father that knows business and a mother who knows marketing, so a supportive family that had the exact skills that would help her). It's hard to be reminded of how unfair life is, but Swift deserves all the accolades on her poetry and music. And I deserved my lesson and must learn to remember that sometimes people are lucky and have beauty, talent and a supportive family.
"Politically" 🤣🤣🤣
yeah people always say she’s so basic and she’s just like them all but that’s literally not true she has her own sounds yeah. soundS she reinvents herself ever album and is the only artist with distinct different noticeable eras like even my mom can tell speak now vibes from folklore or evermore to her first album and she isn’t a fan like i. people just think that way because SHES the blue print and everyone’s trying to make hits like hers but they think the opposite
and her having a clean image like yes she’s the only one who doesn’t have cherry nipple bras or shake her boobs as apart of her choreography. yet she’s the one who gets painted out like the biggest s word why? like genuinely why. she’s the only one who hasn’t had a sex tape or nudes leaked or even been seen doing more than simply kissing a partner which news flash everyone does
I also was the same way. While I loved her music growing up (mainly her hit songs), I strayed away from her music in 2018 after delicate and after she released 1989 TV I forgot just how much I love her music and I’ve been listening to her albums she’s so much more than a pop star or an artist who only writes about breakups. She is THE music industry 🩷🩷🩷!
I would readily admit that when I was in my teens, early 20's, she is exactly the kind of artist I would have dismissed as a vapid, barely talented bubble gum pop singer ... and I would have been wrong. I am now the "girldad" of a 19 and 22 year old, my youngest being a huge Swifty. I started diving into her work primarily to share with my daughter. My oldest daughter's tastes in music are similar to my own, and we've had the shared experience of going to a variety of concerts ... I wanted to mirror that experience with my youngest, something to bond over. I am glad I did, and I'll tell you, I am completely impressed with Taylor Swift ... for a variety of reasons, including her music, and especially her storytelling. I get why she has such a loyal fan base.
That’s really, really sweet.
she's a real musician, composer and lyricist!
39 year old here. Not all teenage girls. Trust me, I’ve seen her live show before, saw her during the Old Testament tour. New Romantics is wonderful live!!!
I always appreciate when someone can admit they got it wrong - it takes a lot of maturity. Really happy that you ended up on this journey of discovering Taylor’s artistry and all that comes with it, it’s been incredibly fun and gratifying because you really give her discography the time, effort and respect it deserves! ✨
Also wanted to drop her speech from the NYU graduation ceremony for her honorary doctorate. It’s a wonderful speech and actually had a hidden reference to one her songs (You’re on your own kid) from her album Midnights that she released later that year. She’s an icon! 💜 ruclips.net/video/OBG50aoUwlI/видео.htmlsi=qfL1HqZpiT9wPzek
Also hidden reference to Labyrinth: breath in breath through breath out lyric
The University of Kansas has "The Sociology of Taylor Swift" that started in 2023. I think I heard of a few others that are under "sociology" umbrella too.
You need to hear her speech from her NYU graduation!
Also, I’m waiting for the Art history classes to begin. She’s using surrealism, the renaissance period, etc a ton in the eras tour and recent media.
The evermore & folklore album will blow your mind, cant wait for you to react to these two album
I have enjoyed her music since her first album and I am 67 ( soon to be 68 ) so I have never understood the narrative that she only attracts teens. I was impressed that she writes or co- writes her own songs. Her music reflects her life, not just her relationships. My favorite song and video is Wildest Dreams and even my sisters who are not fans loved the song and video.
I’m 58. Same. Lol
64, been a Swiftie since I saw her live, on the RED tour. Been to Eras twice, July '23 Denver & Seattle. Taking the whole family in Nov '24 Toronto, Dec '24 Vancouver BC. She's one of a kind.
Taylor is truly talented. She is not just a pretty face, she sings, writes and co-produces songs, plays 3 instruments (guitar, piano, ukulele), directs some of her music videos.
she also directs her own videos and top of all that, she's a smart business woman. She's not just her dating life. 😍😍😍
this is very cool. the media has done a pretty good job of making her seem a certain way, and it's not surprising your image of her wasn't in line with the reality of her. one of the coolest things that's happened this year has been her massive popularity compelling people to give her a chance, when they thought they never would. it's true that the truth always comes to the surface. i haven't seen a single person whose truly given her a chance have a negative to say about her as an artist. it's been really great to watch. she deserves everything she has.
I'm sorry, but the most important thing that happened to her this year is the death of a fan at a concert in Brazil. Not letting the public enter with their own water in the middle of a heat wave, to be able to sell them their very expensive water inside the stadium, is something that will accompany her forever, especially since she is the celebrity who did the most for global warming. Do you know any other artist who represents the voracity of capitalism like her?
@@gerardovazquez6441 she handed out free water because THE STADIUM and the company that owns it wouldn’t let people have water. There are videos of her and her team trying to get water to these people after finding out that they were denied any refreshments. It isn’t the artist or their team that controls the prices of refreshments like food and water, and it isn’t them who determines the rules like what can be allowed in and out. It’s the stadium and the stadium’s parent company. The only thing Taylor and her team might (and that’s a hard MIGHT when it comes to some places) be able to control is merch sales.
Also, in terms of the private jet controversy, those Jets are typically rented by the celebrity and Taylor lends it out to her friends if needed. She also invests in “carbon credits” where more trees are planted depending on how much carbon is emitted. She travels a lot internationally, and even within the nation to the point where she does need to fly, but she can’t use regular commercial airlines because that could potentially put herself and others in danger. So, while she may not be able to erase the carbon she’s used, she can try to mitigate it, which she does.
@@gerardovazquez6441it was not her fault it was the stadium's fault. She hired them to tak care of shit like this but they didn't. She was the one handing out water herself. She made sure on the second day that everyone got water free of charge and everywhere was well ventilated.
And y'all should stop blaming her for global warming especially when you hypocrites still drive you car around, you don't recycle, and you don't call out factories who emit toxins into the air
@@ayomidedareabel5525 People didn't go there to see the stadium, they went to see her, and she had them queuing up under the sun causing hundreds to faint. She is responsible because a show cannot be done with such a heat wave. She committed irresponsibility close to criminal, she is the celebrity who collaborates the most with global warming, not me who rides a bicycle and is not interested in tourism. You must stop defending the indefensible, I don't have to pay for the greed and eccentricities of your favorite artist. People like you, who are fascinated by frivolities, are the real problem. The problem is not Taylor trying to sell her album 50 times, the problem is you who are willing to buy it, because you are sick with consumerism and frivolity and we only have this planet to live on
@@ayomidedareabel5525Idk, his comment seemed like a pretty well-balanced, fair, objective, and independent assessment of her 🤔 no bias or prejudice at all, totally fair and accurate. (sarcasm btw lol)
I've been loving going on the journey of her eras with you on Patreon! I get excited each time I get an update that there's a new video haha. In a way it feels like I'm rediscovering her again as well when I get to watch someone else discover her for the first time.
Nicely done! Great diction & speaking voice, thoughtful commentary, really chill vibe. I'm enjoying this reactor.
Taylor writes about emotions, in all aspects and moments of life. And she puts those moments of different emotions into words for us to connect with and relate to. Her music is like therapy, regardless if it´s joyful or sad. Like she says herself in mirrorball "Because I´m a mirrorball, I´ll show you every version of yourself tonight".
Yeah, the false perception of Taylor aka the media brainwash since 2013, still runs deep today with those who fell for it. Especially those who haven´t heard her music or those who never really listened to her words or don´t comprehend lyrics beyond the surface level. But as soon as a person actually dives into her universe of poetry, emotions, amazing melodies and actually sees her genius as a songwriter, director, writer, producer etc etc..They become a fan. Every. Single. Time. And then they also realize that she is an amazing, kind, empathic, funny and beautiful human being too.
You gotta watch the NYU speech!!!!!! It was sooooo good! And we realized later she had a bunch of lyric Easter eggs in it. 😄
64 old Swifty as of the ERAS tour then went down the rabbit hole...Midnight, Reputation, RUclipsr "reactions" etc.
Mad respect for you actually caring enough about her music to take the time to give her an honest shot on your channel.
We appreciate you man!
Keep shining✨
I've seen at least 2 kinds of classes on Taylor Swift being offered at various school. The most prevalent is, of course, classes focusing on her music and lyricism.
But I've recently seen a more interesting class being offered about Taylor Swift at a law school - focusing on how she's changed the music industry for artists' rights, artistic licensing, musical contracts, and more. Now THAT is something that a lot of people seem to miss. She is a savvy business woman and branding genius. Yes, she has a whole team that helps her out, but Taylor has always been hands-on in her brand and is careful about how her name is used.
Thank you!!!! I had to admit to being wrong about Harry Potter, books and movies. I learned we shouldn't have such deep opinions about things we haven't really taken a deep dive into. Taylor Swift is a person I truly believe is GOOD. A good heart, a good mind, a good soul, a good talent, and all that good makes her GREAT.
I am 74years old and have loved her singing, music ,lyrics ,and just her in general! I adore her! I'm a fan since I first heard her sing!
I'm enjoying every moment of your journey on Patreon! I love how in depth you go into each era instead of just the usual album after album format :)
I can't wait for you to react to the rest of her work. You have only scratched the surface of what she's done!
3:29 this is her best speach you got to see it its her 2022 NYU it's amazing
I was never a fan of her earlier work. Not a hater, just not to my taste. I started to change my opinion mostly due to 'Style", which is a great song. But when Evermore came out I checked it out and was blown away and it went to the top of my rotation for a very long time. Her songwriting is tremendous. Listen closely to 'exile'. Amazing. And 'Invisible String.' Wonderful, evocative and perceptive insights and writing.
Those songs are from the sister album of evermore called folklore, but evermore has some amazing songwriting too. evermore, Coney Island, champagne problems, cowboy like me
I can’t wait for the next Patreon video to come out!!
It's a wrong assumption to think that her main audience is high schoolers. Many of her fans grew up with her...many of them are also parents. I just finished college when her first album came out. I'm 39 and there are lots of fans older than me.
Yep, I'll be 45 this year. I have loved Taylor since "Tim McGraw" was released. I was already grown and married and had kids the first time I heard her music. She was always wonderful to me, but to watch her blossom into who she is now -- it's been quite the journey.
I, too, kind of need to admit that I was wrong about her as well.
Doing a bit of a deep dive on her, I’ve discovered she’s actually a very intelligent and artistically talented person. I won’t stand here and say that I’m a fan of every song she’s put out, or even most of them however, I’d be remiss not to recognize that she has a wealth of talent.
She’s earned all the praise she gets.
Teenage girls have good taste in music etc. We do ourselves a disservice when we dismiss their stuff.
can't wait to react speak now, red, 1989, lover, folklore, evermore and midnights 🥳🥳🥳
Taylor never catered to 12 year olds. Taylor said she would never make her next album sound like her last.
Because she's dating "the guy on the Chiefs," Taylor will be taking up residence in my area for the next couple of months. That alone got me to forcing myself to listen to her music. Still not a fan of country, but the more pop material is pretty decent.
Petition for NYU Speech Reaction :
I don't really care for Taylor Swift's music, as I am an old metalhead, but my daughter is obsessed with Taylor Swift, which I'm absolutely cool with. Because Taylor seems to be a genuinely good human, and her fans seem to be a real uplifting supportive group... I also happen to be a huge Chiefs fan, so I know more about Taylor Swift than I ever cared to. I will say, I think Taylor is an incredible song writer, even if it ain't my cup of tea.
Like you. Jim, I under estimated Swift's work. I did not hate her. I just never really paid attention to her thinking she was Pop.
I am older and come from a time when pop was disliked in general. I am a rock, new wave and blues fan. However, I do listen to new music and try to find good artists. What drives me crazy is auto.tune. it feels like it hides bad artist's lack of real talent. Ripping off listeners.
Anyway, around Supe Bowl time (not a fan of Football but, I grew up in Kansas City and my family moved when I was in high school.). I still feel proud when the Chiefs or Royals win playoffs or the big one. I am a fan of Baseball.
So I heard about the dating by one of the players and Swift. It got me to wondering why so many people dislike her. It's one thing to not pay attention to or not care for an artist's songs and another to be personally hateful.
So I checked into it and ended up watching a couple videos. I did read about the whole Kanye and Swift phone call thing and thought it was cruel and awful of someone trying to destroy someone's career and lively hood. And reputation with the public undeservingly. I was very impressed with the Look What You Made Me Do video. It was brilliant.
I now have a healthy respect for Taylor Swift's work.
First of all she don't need to prove anything to anybody she could release bubblegum pop , plastic pop or whatever she wants to write ...she don't need to be indie or alt to be respect or appreciated.
are you gonna upload your reaction to red album here?🥺
when people diss on her it reminds me of me in third grade i literally cannot take it too seriously i shake it off giggle and imagine them hating pink too and being a little girl who was trying to be different 🤣
There's also a course for law students, studying her influence on the legal aspects of what she's done.
“What’s your tip for new singers?”
“Get a good lawyer” -Taylor Swift 😂
You should really react to Is It Over Now? by her. It’s a song about her and Harry Styles when they dated. Or Maroon by her. Also amazing
who lied and said Taylor's music isn't deep or meaningful???? she is literally the best writer of our generation
True, all of this. I've grown to like her stuff, even though I'm a Billy Idol-to-Ozzy-to-Stones, kind of guy. Still won't go out and buy her albums, for me. But, do for holiday gifts for the women/girls, in my life. 'You Need To Calm Down' is one song of hers I like, though. Even on repeat.
GLAD THAT YOU'RE WRONG ABOUT TAYLOR SWIFT JUST LIKE HOW WRONG I WAS ABOUT BTS. Hahahhahhhaaha
She was my standard for music so I really wasn't expecting it from BTS either. But never been glad to be so wrong about them.
what. THEY are missing an opportunity in their business classes to learn from her business decisions as well. As i always say... its alot of taylor swift but its not enough of taylor Swift.
I think a lot of us were wrong about Taylor. I an a causal listener and then when she made the jump to pop i made the worst assumptions that she was going to be this Miley Cyrus 0.2 twerking everywhere and i basically dis all her songs there i saw how catchy they were but i became a fan during covid when she came out with her 3 albums in one year and how she outsmart the industry. But became a full swiftie after watching the era's tour.
you should look into why Miley behaved the way she did during that "era" of hers... it was actually very strategic.
@@ashleysullivan6398 some of it was strategic a lot of it was just her trying to find herself as an adult.
oh wait til u get to folklore and evermore jim….
He did listen to folklore but evermore is gonna be a journey!
i’m glad to see people come to their senses and open their eyes ☺️
cant wait till Jim reacts to folklore and evermore
appreciate that you admitted it
👏🏻 always 👏🏻admit 👏🏻 when 👏🏻you’re 👏🏻 wrong
0:04 🤣 Isn't that exactly what you thought of BTS ?? 😂 "Plastic and for teenage girls"
Honestly, people who haven't actually listened to Taylor Swift and BTS always assumes they're "OVERRATED" just because they can't explain why they're popular.
Taylor Swift and BTS lyricism and artistry are top notch. TOP NOTCH!!! Their fans deserves to be as dedicated as they are, cause their spots in the industry is well earned.
If I had never gone into BTS with an open mind, I would have dismissed so many other artists. Reacting to BTS has taught me to seek out other artists usually rejected by my gender and age group.
@@JimGames I know, cause you're not the first reactor I've seen who admitted they're wrong about Taylor Swift.... And interestingly both you and him were only fan of rock and metal not until you came across BTS of course and become an ARMY, he then said that thanks to BTS, he's now more open minded and now listens to any music regardless of language and genre.
@@JimGames I'm like you too, before BTS, I don't even listen to music especially anything pop and popular due to preconceive notions. Maybe if were a little bit open minded and a little smart back then, maybe I would have long been a fan.
Same goes with Taylor Swift. Her music has different Era's like BTS and their music are also directly related to them cause it potrays their life and journey.
i am SUCH a hater of most modern mainstream music, i cant stand it. much rather prefer 90s alternative and rock. but taylor swift?? i love her. she's a lyrical genius and such a relatable person. she's so outwardly human and genuine. i totally understand why people wouldn't like her music, its probably not supposed to be my thing but i just think she's an incredible person, and she's wrote too many songs that hit so close to home for me to not like her lol
have you listen to folklore ?
I wish I could take a Taylor Swift class lol I would be so interested in it hahaha
Taylor’s love songs don’t portray my life at all. I have never lived through heartbreak or loss (thankfully). I am a 23yo male swiftie nonetheless. Her songwriting is just so enticing and the melodies so fitting that I just love her music like nobody else’s. Her creativity has no limit. Her music catalogue is so wide ranging that you just about find all kinds of scenarios described in there, fictional or autobiographical. From time to time I may listen to other artists, but Taylor remains my “safety” artist. I may not know her personally, and we will never know her whole story, but from what we know and what we hear from people who have spent time with her, we know she is a more than decent person. Honestly, to me, she feels like the most “normal” and “humanly palpable” (or “relatable” for a lack of a better word) celebrity. I will always despise people who hate her just for existing.
Jim, Thank you for this presentation. With the expanded attention that Taylor Swift is getting after being named Time’s Person of the Year which has generated a large number of crazy and outright cruel responses, I find your comments interesting and enlightening. I would like you to consider my comments as building on your thoughts with a bit of a different twist.
To lay some groundwork, I am an old guy in my mid 70’s who over my lifetime have become acutely aware of how significant music and the artists who produce it can become in shaping an individual’s emotional reaction to the events in a person’s life. The music of the 60’s and 70’s helped frame and color my responses to my college years and my entry into the military during the Vietnam era. Whenever I hear the Stone Ponies “Beat of a Different Drum” I am transported immediately into my college dorm room on a cold rainy night. It is not just a superficial passing visit to the past, I am there physically, and I remember the emotions, the feelings, smells and sounds. Other songs during that time and after have the power to do the same thing to me.
So, the bottom line is that Taylor Swift has chosen a profession that has the potential to have a significant impact on a wide range of people. As an outside observer I would say she has really pulled it off.
I became interested in Taylor’s music when I noticed my sister-in-law who was in her mid-50’s, at the time, really getting into it. I could tell that even though some would characterize this as teeny-pop music, something was really speaking to this 50-year-old woman who I cared about.
Now I know that Taylor’s music is not written for me, but then again, I learned long ago not everything has to be about me. As an elderly male I know fully well what it is like to grow up and experience the ups and downs of life for a male of my generation. As for knowing and understanding the female experience, not so much. I would say that at least half of the people that populate my life and I care about are female. If I am going to be able to encourage them and help them it is important to understand the experiences they are having and have had in their journey through life. Of course, you can always ask, but sometimes with the most impactful experiences it may be extremely difficult to articulate because of the emotional baggage.
Taylor’s music speaks to women and their experience of life. When I now listen to Taylor’s music (and there is a lot of it) I keep this in mind and hope it gives me a little understanding of what the other side is going through. What I have found in that music is enlighten and helpful (she’s really good). Remember, a little understanding can go a long way.
I like when you guys apologize..
The University of South Carolina, which is the state I’m from, is doing a class on Taylor Swift too. But rather than talking about her song writing it’s going to focus more on her business and how she advertises herself and her music, etc.
Red reaction when?
❤
Of course you’re open-minded…you have Mulder’s poster on your wall.
That's it. I'm applying to Harvard. 😌
💜
❤❤❤❤
Bravo.
how has noone said that the lakes came out in 2020 and not 2021. LMAO
As someone who also used to pride myself on hating Taylor Swift too, I must express my grave disappointment with this entire video even though it came to the right conclusions. For me, it sounded a lot like justifying the assumptions that her music was "plastic" because she's popular with women and as society reminds us, women can't possibly have good taste or like intelligent things! So, in watching this, it sure seemed like a man felt the need to step in and "get to the bottom" of whether or not Taylor has artistic integrity, because her fans certainly can't be trusted. I just wish he had also tackled that instinct - that desire we have to dismiss things that are popular with women specifically, and why it's okay to brush it all off as "plastic" or shallow, something made for pre-teen girls going through breakups, as if children alone could create a billion-dollar pop empire, or as if adult men don't also write songs about their romantic liaisons - it's just that, when they do it, they're merely writing about their lives and being 'deep' and when a woman does it, she's being vindictive or immature.
Prior to Anti-Hero I found TS totally un-interesting. Yes, I know that Cruel Summer pre-dates Anti-Hero, but I never heard it until this year. Along with Karma she's got three hit songs that will outlast the hype. So I guess it was worth putting up with her all that time until she got to this point.
Also a Taylor Swift convert.
We all have to admit we’re wrong at some point. I’ve done it before. Even if people don’t like her music, you can respect her creativity and how talented she is.
The amount of people that hate this woman is insane... It's mind boggling
It’s pretty standard for someone of her magnitude though 😂 anyone this famous and successful is bound to draw attention from some natural-born haters.
You’re going to go crazy for Evermore.
I don’t understand why people dismiss musicians that teen girls like.
Beatles and Elvis also had predominantly teen girls as fans.
And because it’s girly music people don’t even listen to it and dismiss it not because it’s not their type but because the fans are girls.
But absolutely appreciate and respect you for acknowledging that you were mistaken.
Please please please react to Selena Gomez her songs are amazing
She was one of the artists I grew up with and, as a result, a lot of her music does have a special place in my heart. She seems like a pretty down to earth person compared to other ultra-famous celebrities, and I can respect that. The only thing that really infuriates me is her fanbase. They hype her up to be the second coming of christ or some shit. Sure, she is a good artist that has made some good music. But she is not some celestial deity worthy of worship. She is not, as the swifties say, “the music industry.”
? friend, you're reading too quickly, and confused Berkeley with Berklee. UC Berkeley is outside San Francisco/Oakland and is a major research institution with multiple colleges. Berklee College of Music is a private institution in Boston, Massachusetts (with additional campus space in NYC, and Valencia, Spain).. Berklee is _also_ offering a course in Swift's songwriting, but you were reading a quote from a student who graduated in CA. 2:50
like... fkn Havard! Haters never listened to her
Dating that football guy? What, are you a soccer person?

This guy doesn’t even know the difference between Wordsworth and Wordsmith, but it’s ok guys he decided that Taylor Swift is good actually and not just teenage girl music.
It’s funny because if you listen to her albums folklore or evermore you’d realise your just ignorant and wrong
Why are you not listening to folkloreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :(
I did. So far its my favorite album
@@JimGames oh??? I searched for it and couldn't find it. I'll go listen to it now! Glad to know you liked it
lol, it's always a good time to listen to Folklore. Also, my reaction is not on RUclips because I did the full documentary, and it got blocked. Sorry about that.@@kaitlynsarah2
Aw, If it isnt on Yputube I can't watch it :( It's fine lol it's not your fault I just wanted to see your reaction cause your Rep one was 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼@@JimGames
They are copying Europe who started teaching her storytelling already.
Hopefully this epiphany changes your future behavior. You are very judgmental without any information.
same as you... i didn't give her a fair shot. i just assumed she was a product being marketed to children who don't know any better. and while i still find her writing to be vapid and juvenile, occasionally, for the most part she's good at what she does. she's not going to give anyone lyrics as deep as john lennon, but very few people walking the earth could. same with her musicianship... she ain't jimi hendrix, but she can play and play well.
I took a Taylor Swift course at the University of Cincinnati! It wasn't Harvard, but it was a great course. We mainly analyzed her songwriting evolution but we also ooked at her career as a whole. It's cool to see so many other colleges implementing courses as well 🫶
u should totally watch her NYU grad speech and listen you you're on you're own, kid ! its one of my fave songs by her 🫶
I thought I was the only one who likes that song! I never see anyone talk about it. It’s my favourite on her midnights album!
Maybe Family Guy portrayed her as good and kind BECAUSE she IS good & kind !?!
Like it's so baffling how these men and pick mes hate on her for no reason
