Taylor Swift: "I have no interest in singing someone else's words"

[DMTT 160]

Ugh, this big Taylor love-in is making me nauseous. I thought the Red era was bad enough, but this is unimaginable levels of torture now. It's not like I can just switch her off until her next album. Each era lasts about 1.5 years and she releases an album every 2 years. How I long for the days when only American country fans cared about her. I'm actually kinda glad that she's taken her music off Spotify now, so she can't qualify for #1's in the UK, because she's currently there with Blank Space. If she gets #1's here we'll never be free of her. If I see one more article claiming she's a great songwriter, I might scream. You know, I think Lana's song, F****d My Way Up To The Top fits her so well. And considering how she blatantly ripped off Lana's style (and the chorus of Without You specifically) with Wildest Dreams, I wouldn't blame Lana for aiming this song at her.

I actually had no idea that Big Machine was independent and she was their first signing and she's the most successful artist for them. And there's only 8 people on the books altogether. That would explain so much. This has just made me resent her even more. She really has had success all because of luck. She's far too lucky for someone of such limited talent. If I was appointed the new chairperson of the label, I'd give her such a wake-up call. I'd say no to all her prissy, childish songs and get her writing like the grown woman she is, for one thing. It's so annoying how her label don't force her to grow up. I'm her age and I'd be embarrassed to sing the stuff that she does. With Speak Now, it seemed like she was maturing, but then she seemed to get more immature over time, regressing back to what is now the 1989 era. It's sad.

LMAO you're so pressed I can't even deal :toofunny:

a disaster.

 

The drought was the very worst

When the flowers that we'd grown together died of thirst

It was months, and months of back and forth

You're still all over me like a wine-stained dress I can't wear anymore

Hung my head, as I lost the war, and the sky turn black like a perfect storm

 

Rain came pouring down when I was drowning

That's when I could finally breathe

And that morning, gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean

 

There was nothing left to do

And the butterflies turned to dust they covered my whole room

So I punched a hole in the roof

Let the flood carry away all my pictures of you

The water filled my lungs, I screamed so loud but no one heard a thing

Rain came pouring down when I was drowning

That's when I could finally breathe

And that morning, gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean

I think I am finally clean

Said, I think I am finally clean

 

10 months sober, I must admit

Just because you're clean don't mean you miss it

10 months older I won't give in

Now that I'm clean I'm never gonna risk it

The drought was the very worst

When the flowers that we'd grown together died of thirst

 

Rain came pouring down when I was drowning

That's when I could finally breathe

And that morning, gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean

 

This song always slays me.  So well written. 

Same! Its so PURE and Holy. I love how it closes the Album

Love her or hate her, what she said was right I wish more artists were like this.

 

 

I've been watching your posts now. Do you seriously go into every Taylor-related thread just to write and post a god damn article about how much she suck?

 

Honestly, there's like 20 Taylor fans in this thread and neither of them are as dedicated as you are when it comes to writing paragraphs about her

 I know, right. Those essays are so off-course and over-dramatic, I just don't have the energy to confront the delusion. Maybe that is the goal... ;)

 

Last year these essays were about Beyoncé, this year it's the same with Taylor.

Just wait for it...next year, we will see these essays about Adele in every one of her threads.

 

It is a serious commitment to hating on some random pop artist.  

[Whispering 18,865]

OMG why did you go there

I love both Taylor and Lana, this comment makes me feel too many things at the same time

 

I imagine because the OP said that Taylor copied Lana, etc. It was a response to the OP bring Lana into the conversation.

Pop music was boring as hell the past year. Taylor has at least injected some excitement... I am really digging 1989. I don't think she is the greatest singer, but I have to respect her and her drive to control her own destiny. 

 

However you slice it, she's a power-player in pop... she is controlling the agenda right now.

gaga is always testing our boundaries  I still love her  :saira:

[Valextra 58]

I appreciate her words-attitude and the fact that she is in control, but I still can't apprecciate her music or see something very interesting or particularly appealing on what she does for now, but good for her, hope she's gonna deliver something better in the future.

[RainingOnMe 7,252]

I agree with her. That's why I have so much respect for her and Gaga.

It just really depends. TF - BTW Gaga>Taylor>Now - Gaga

Pre-Fame Gaga is the best one there is
