it's like if Bo Burnham was ass
She has at least 7 good or great albums
Do not try to reason with people who haven’t listened to her discography and have shallow music depth

i was thinking the same s***
sounds like a song he would make as a joke
I’ve never heard a Taylor Swift song or album that warrants both the level of popularity AND critical acclaim she has received.
It’s not the popularity that puzzles me, it’s the endless showering of praise and awards that the industry throws at her as if she’s our generation’s Stevie Wonder or something.
Like, to me, her and Ed Sheeran are on pretty similar levels of talent and artistry, yet Sheeran’s albums regularly get panned and s*** on by critics. I just don’t understand it
I think it's because she was very young when she started and she was a very mature and talented songwriter for her age with albums like Fearless, Speak Now and Red. Her reputation comes from this phase.
Then, she moved on to full pop music with 1989, which is considered a great album, and became this massive popstar.
I think some songs from Ed's debut and his second album are definitely Taylor-tier. Back in 2013-ish, they were considered the female/male counterparts to each other.

Using “shallow music depth” to criticize someone who doesn’t like Taylor Swift of all people
I’m not some pretentious weirdo who hates pop artists either, I love pop music with all my heart

If you actually took your time to compare their lyrics and artistry since 2017, you'd understand. Ed has released nothing but s*** (Divide, Collab Tape 2019, Subtract, Play) while Taylor has released some slop but also some classics (reputation, folklore/evermore and midnights) and the Eras tour was like the biggest pop event of the decade and cemented her legend status. Sure, the conversation now moves towards 'she's a mid artist' bc she just released a terrible album, but let's not ignore the masterful poetry on folklore
she is so bland man. even her face. these promo photos. god they’re so f***ing boring
Perfect for the usual boring 18 year old white blonde woman

The fact that you think Divide is “shit” and Midnights is a classic is exactly my point
Both of those albums are mediocre in my opinion
The Eras Tour being a big pop event is not an answer to my question, especially since an actual legendary live performer was on a tour of her own at the same time and didn’t even gross half as much box office.
I’m not calling her mid because of Showgirl, I’ve been calling her mid for like 10+ years
Northern Transmissions: 40/100

You need to listen to Reputation
Her best album lyrically and sonically

Ed's pop songs are soooo boring
Shape of You, Bad Habits... yuck
Taylor's pop music is not this weak
Ed's best pop single is Sing... produced by Pharrell
Idk I’ll see yall gas up these old Taylor albums when I’ve deadass never heard a song by her that isn’t mediocre at best
We're gonna miss her presence in the game once she decides she wants to chill
Who else moves the needle like she?
Besides... you know
