It's amazing to me how overrated this girl is, not much singing talent, mediocre pop songs all on the same subject, yet she constantly outsells the competition by more than double.

First off her songwriting IS incredible, whether people want to believe it or not. She has a way of writing songs that almost sounds like she's directly telling you the story in person. And heartbreak/love is a universal thing. It's not hard to see why those types of songs sell. Secondly, she knows how to write a catchy song. But mostly she's built up a hardcore fan base because this girl goes above and beyond what I've seen ANY other artist do in the last 10 years for their fans. She holds secret parties for them which she selected the fans herself, has them in her music videos, randomly gives them advice on Instagram and tumblr when they ask her for it Etc. It's actually incredible the amount of work she puts in with her fans and promoting her albums. She has had a lot of success and could have probably sat back and done nothing and this album would have sold bucket loads but yet never feels entitled to success, she puts in the hardworking. Other pop stars could learn a few things from her. |

Her songwriting isn't incredible at all. Not anymore
Uh oh! I don't know about you But I'm feeling 22 Everything will be alright If you keep me next to you You don't know about me But I'll bet you want to Everything will be alright If we just keep dancing like we're 22, ooh-ooh 22, ooh-ooh Or We are never ever ever getting back together, We are never ever ever getting back together, You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me But we are never ever ever ever getting back together Or 'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake I shake it off, I shake it off Heart-breakers gonna break, break, break, break, break And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake I shake it off, I shake it off and many more. That's is not incredible songwriting at all. Hardly a lyrical genius. Carole King (one of the greatest female songwriters of all time) is what you call an incredible songwriter. Not taylor swift. She can sing though, that's all i will praise her for. |

I used to like her when she was country. Then she was interesting. Since she sold herself short and went down the cheesey pop route I haven't liked her music as much.

I'm on the right track baby i was born this way, Jesus loves me!

![]() Hey there sugar baby Saw you twice at the pop show You taste just like glitter mixed with rock and roll I like you a lot lot Think you're really hot hot I know you think you're special When we dance real crazy Glam-aphonic, electronic, disco baby I like you a lot lot All we want is hot hot [Chorus:] Boys boys boys We like boys in cars Boys boys boys Buy us drinks in bars Boys boys boys With hairspray and denim Boys boys boys We love them! Oh, oh Baby is a bad boy With some retro sneakers Let's go see The Killers And make out in the bleachers I like you a lot lot Think you're really hot hot Let's go to the party Heard our buddy's the DJ Don't forget my lipstick I left it in your ashtray I like you a lot lot All we want is hot hot I'm not loose, I like to party Let's get lost in your Ferrari Not psychotic or dramatic I like boys and that is that Love it when you call me legs In the morning buy me eggs Watch your heart when we're together Boys like you love me forever Oh, oh, oh, oh We love them! I bet Joni Mitchell and Bob Dylan are quaking in their boots. As for Taylor Swift, her lyrics have always read like diary entries of a 12 year old girl. And even when she was classed as a country singer she was always county-light. |

She's a great little pop star, and sometimes that's all you need to be.

![]() and I have never heard people label Gaga as an amazing songwriter anyway. But for people to be labelling Taylor swift to be one, that's laughable |

Woah guys, a little immature to compare like that? Little-Monster never once said Gaga was a lyrical genius? Chill out with the attack. Let's not turn the thread into a Taylor Vs Gaga debate.
I do disagree with Little-Monster though. The songs highlighted weren't meant to be lyrical masterpieces, they were meant to be hit singles. A lot of her album tracks are better examples of her knack for lyricism. |

It's not really buying an album is it. Just invisible computer files. Not like going to the shops and buying a CD or LP.

Oh come on, I realise it's just out but how many times have you seen albums go for 99p? It's hardly buying an album is it. An invisible music collection but I have to give people that buy invisible digital music come credit. They are willing to money for what most get free on a Google search. It's not buying an album though.
Albums are physical. And 1989 will be released on LP in December. |

I've slowly become a fan of Taylor over the years since her Speak Now album and believe me, it's not hard to see why this girl does so well.
