Funny I never realized how many Swifties we have among our old white man demographic. I just hope she retires gracefully and doesn't end of turning herself into a monster like Madonna did.

I don't know any grown arse men that listen to Taylor Swift.

I asked one dude at work in his twenties if he liked Taylor Swift and he was like.....um that isn't my cup of tea.

Madonna is just nasty and would take a lot to get down to her level of insanity.

Why was Madonna or Michael Jackson or Britney Spears popular? They were all vacuous crap.

Most people are simple and love crap.

Have you seen what other crap is out there right now for young women to listen to?

As others have said they are nice pop tunes about growing up, boys and such.

Compared to people like Nicki Manaj and Lizzo. You have a lot of parents with their daughters. Do they want to hear about WAP or I'm a bad bitch.

As far as the tour goes....I get it. Big arenas, high priced tickets and 2-3 days in the same place. Selling 80-120K seats without packing and unpacking and moving to the next place in between.

No. The stage gimmick didn't "get me" that wasn't why I thought she put on a good show. She put on a good show because she was entertaining. I didn't come away thinking she was a great singer but I did come away thinking she was a great entertainer. The piano bit was just something that stood out in my mind. I honestly think I was just surprised that they went to the trouble to move the piano from city to city and build a stage that it would rise out of for only one song. If anything I thought it was kind of a waste.

She has a nice voice and is a credible song writer.

That's why she's popular. It has nothing to do with her politics.

I'll take the opinion of a trained singer with decades of vocal training than someone who thinks Taylor Swift can sing and gets offended when people say she doesn't.


Sounds to me like your trained singer friend is just a little bitch (like you) who’s jealous of Tay-Tay.

Yeah, that’s a common refrain from her fans at her sold out concerts.

He isn't some friend of mine ding dong. Just an anonymous person on a message board just like here.

You're just triggered that someone doesn't care for her vocals and doesn't see the big deal.

Swift fans are melting because they are being told she can't sing and they can't handle that truth.

Michael Jackson could sing and was a great entertainer. Prime Madonna as well until she turned into a goblin.

Her strengths is writing songs and an entertainer.

Her voice is mediocre and isn't on the same level of pop artists of today or in the past.

Her talent is her looks/aesthetics.

I'm assuming alot of people in here have never seen a video of her live shows. Most of you probably assume its just her on stage singing some pop songs. Go watch some videos.

They're like a high energy circus event. It's more performance art than music concert and they put a ton of time and effort into the show. You can hate on TSwizz all you want. She's killing it right now.

And you believe him? How do you know he’s a trained singer who studied at Juilliard?

I think you’re secretly a fan of the Tay. Otherwise, you’re putting an awful lot of effort into establishing some weird e-cred about hating her.
