No.
Let's take my favorite, Adele. She's just swept the Grammys, had most popular album in 2015 and 2016, and sold out every show on a 125+ city world tour. She broke Sydney, Perth, and Brisbane in the last month.
Oh, and she's one of the three or four best female pop vocalists on earth.
She has, IMO, shite taste in music. She adores Beyoncé, the Spice Girls, and Ed Sheeran.ack:
But when she records, she evokes Carole King, Roberta Flack, and Alison Krauss.
I'm a musician and have a broad and deep range of musical tastes. Most of you here would think it's shite. But I like what I like. Adele likes what she likes. And y'all like what y'all like.
So, basically, we all have shite taste in music.
TL;DR : No.

Do you know if she really likes ^^^^ or is it playing nice for the press, these are actually her contemporaries, and it's better to be the all around nice girl. Like for instance how can these musicians at the Grammy's or Hand-me-Another Country music award show not laugh at some of these winners? To their face?
Personally I'd say as a whole musicians have better taste, but it's rather knowing more about what's going on, and so you appreciate certain aspects better. You understand breaks, swapping lead, 12bar or 16 (square), modes, and you know why you like something. While the most mundane 3chord standard might sell millions, is it really a better song than something else the same performer does (and loves). Not to say an untrained ear can't still hear altered chords and and appreciate their flavor; but as a whole playing makes you more aware of the parts, because you're listening so as to reproduce.
ETA: of course this could just make you a better listener... not better taste (Hmmm)

I agree! I'm not a musician, but listen to different kinds of music (from classical to rap ). Tastes differ, so it's impossible to say that someone has a beeter taste, especially in music.
