Is Taylor Swift mediocre?

Every single person ever born was a product of their time, Mozart and Nietzsche included.

Her music is only remarkable for how bland it is.

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.

I sometimes envy the type of person that can be moved to tears by a Taylor Swift song. Life must be so simple and full of blissful ignorance.

Like just a complete shallow pool of emotional depth

Got a push notification today from the French radio promoting this hot new podcast series, about a dad taking his 13-year-old daughter, a massive Swiftie, to a TS show in the US and, I presume, learning some thing or other about America and human relations. They have the best podcasts but I think I'll give this one a miss
