Are we too harsh on Taylor Swift?

For everyone here who claims to hate her, it's remarkable about how much you all talk about her. It's one thing to discuss her new album or criticise her for things that she's done that you dislike, but the sheer quantity of threads is just bizarre. There are users in this thread who I see talking about her more than they talk about Gaga, on a Gaga forum.

The evidence being that out of nine threads in the 'new threads' category, five are about Taylor Swift. It's just unhinged.

What alot of people forget is that art is subjective. There are no right or wrong responses. What I have noticed is that some people believe their opinion is FACT. In the process, making others with a differing opinion feel "wrong" or "stupid". At the end of the day, it's just music. If you like it GREAT, if you hate it GREAT. It's all a matter of taste and opinion. I'm just surprised by the amount of time and attention some people spend on something they hate, which in turn makes it more popular. Madonna once said, negative comments and reviews are still "positive" to me. They keep people talking about my work.

I mean this IS a gaga forum but taylor swift is a big part of pop culture and is in our faces 24/7. I don’t think it’s unbelievable that people are discussing her on a pop culture forum… nobody had any problems taking their turns throwing stones at Katy Perry. Why is the line drawn at Taylor Swift? 

As I said, I have no problem with people discussing and particularly criticising Taylor here. But to have over half of the new threads posted being about her is simply insane. Especially considering the vast majority of them aren't reporting news, encouraging productive discussion or talking about anything new she's done, it's just people going 'haha guys don't you hate Taylor Swift?'.
