She's definitely talented, and has carved out a nice niche in the market. So much so that her music has lost authenticity in favor of ever-tainting mass appeal. I doubt it's her fault, she's an institution. A parasocial pillar for many people. I mostly feel bad for her superfans that adore her glossy, superficial breakup anthems, etc. but that's from me assuming they're not really looking for music that reaches a bit deeper or further. They do say ignorance is bliss.
That's all to say her music does make me yawn. I'll be waiting for her Yellow Submarine or the like.
