If you look closely you can see the tumbleweed blowing across the stage.

Her chart success is up there with Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston and the Beatles.

Only 'cause the industry itself changed.

Put them all in the same era and she's nothing.

I'm terrified someone might not realize that was the point I was making.  

I think she would have carved out a career in any era, a below average singer could always produce a good pop song in a studio. Nothing the Beatles did really hinged on voice or performance, but they were a much more real type of creator that Taylor Swift is in my opinion.  Her talent seems to be dumbing down the IDEA of pop music for ultra neurotypical people, and it turns out that's a big audience.

I don't find it surprising at all that she's successful - but her level of success is astonishing given her limitations.  I find it fascinating how willing she is to expose herself as someone who can't really sing.  Because she CAN style a vocal in a studio.

something I’ve never understood about her is that she has all the money in the world and access the best coaches and yet she’s clearly never taken the effort to improve. like if I was that wealthy and my voice sounded like that I’d be working my *ss off the get better lmao but I also guess her mediocrity has been praised for the last 20 years

I’m afraid she’s never actually received constructive criticism (or ignore it) because so many people tell her she’s wonderful
