They're covering their ears because her jet engines are super loud.

In what reality is Taylor known for making bad music?
I don't really listen to her stuff, but I've heard it and none of it sounds off-putting. I've also never heard anyone who likes music complain that her music is unpleasant to listen to.
People love to hate on popular things for the sake of them being popular. It has happened with other artists and will continue to happen with more artists until the end of time.
You can now see kids in YouTube comments talking about how the early 2000s had all the good music and new stuff is crap. Time is a flat circle.
Whenever I hear her stuff I think “this is definitely some of the music that has ever been made”.
She's not my thing, but she's definitely talented. However, there is no storage of people who love to try to dunk on anything that's popular. They're just pizza cutters.
I get it, that was me in the 90s and 00s. I missed a lot of cool stuff because of it.
Can you think of the coolest thing that you found out about later that you'd dismissed while it was popular?
I can't think of something I actively talked down, but I remember watching Star Trek (TNG) for the first time in my mid thirties (about four years ago) and thinking, "Boy, if I'd known about this while it was on, I'd probably have been obsessed with it."
Maybe not the coolest because honestly I hated almost anything popular or mainstream, especially if it was aimed at women, but one I absolutely fell in love with was Event Horizon. I love horror. I love scifi. You'd think that would have been a no-brainer. I just refused to watch it at the time.
Here's the most embarrassing one. I met Bowling for Soup at a Chili's in 1998 and really enjoyed their music until they were nominated for a Grammy. I immediately stopped listening. I denied having liked them. Then a couple of years later I laughed at how stupid I was and enjoyed them again.
I was even briefly talking about this with the sister yesterday
I said something along the lines of she’s not always my cup of tea but she has good music
The only song by her I actively dislike is "Look What You Made Me Do". Makes my toes curl up, it's so bad. Like, I have a literal, physical reaction to it.
Other than that, her music is pretty inoffensive to me, some songs I even find quite catchy.
Although she should back off trying to sue people for tracking her plane by using publicly available data. Not cool, Taylor. Not cool.
I guess most of what I've heard from her wasn't "bad," but it wasn't "good," I'd describe it as just "uninteresting." It'd probably start annoying me if I had to listen to a full album of hers, because it's not the type of music I enjoy at all.
I listen to a wide variety of music, genres including jazz, metal, rap, classical, rock, dubstep, alternative, soft rock, etc. I find her music to be obnoxious, repetitive, and not at all creative. I don't think there's a single other artist that I like less. And it has nothing to do with her politics, that's the one area I agree with her.
I've only ever heard her early stuff and this is what it sounds like to me:
And we will never (deep breath) ever (deep breath) ever (another deep breath) ever (deep breath) get back (deep breath) together (deep breath)
As a person, she seems savvy and pretty cool. If hey music hasn't progressed from the early stuff, I'll still take a pass.
I can't tell you if I've ever heard her music, probably have. I hear she actually writes her music which is rare now. Usually you hear about how good someone like Gaga is, then you look at her credits and there's a hundred writers and engineers, etc. she essentially just shows up to perform. That to me isn't a great artist, just a performer. Swift at least writes and composes
Every T-Swift song is a vibe. You know this
How have you gone most of your life not listening to Taylor Swift and what changes do I have to make to get to that state? I feel like weekly Taylor Swift is mandatory in most public places.
I definitely hear it from time-to-time. I often probably hear it without knowing it's her. I heard that song "It's me... HI. I'm the problemitsme. It's me: Hi. everybody agrees..."
As you can tell, it kinda got in my head from repetition a few times, and I didn't know it was hers until long after I'd heard it.
But I don't listen to much music overall. I sometimes pick up CDs from the library to burn to my computer, but I don't listen to Spotify or the radio, so I miss a lot of stuff.
YOU KEEP HER NAME OUT OF YOUR FUCKIN MOUTH
TayTay is the bomb and this meme is something my drunk uncle would post on Facebook.
Im drunk but idk if im your uncle.
I wanna say "tornado drill," but the b&w says... Atom bomb.
Very much red scare era. People were scared that Russia was going to attack at any moment.
What's silly is that due the horrific nature of nuclear weapons you probably would not survive no matter what you did. The only chance would be if you were on the edge of the blast radius.
Gives people a sense of control over something uncontrollable.
it's all about damage mitigation. you want to be away from the worst overpressure and glass, then, in a part of the structure likely to remain standing. you'll probably still be thrown around and hurt, but reducing the kids who died from flying glass and covering their head will mitigate a lot of potential trauma.
now, depending on the winds and what kind of weapon was employed, mitigation may be silly, but you always train to do as much as is practical.
Also I think these drills - growing up - were actually smoke breaks for the teachers.
screaming, crying, perfect storm
i can make all the tables turn
this is fuckin cruel. child abuse fsure
Retired ex musician here. I finally listened to some of her music. Eventually, all nonsense from the US swaps over here to Europe. Be it the orange dementia nazi or her. Wow, why the fuck is everyone hyping her? Most basic music, terrible sound engineering, dumb as fuck lyrics. Jaysus Christ on a bike, y'all need to evolve a decent taste in music. Swift makes me want to vomit. Listen to some Fontaines D.C. with Starbuster, Sleafold Mods or Big Special for a while. Oof, rant over. Sorry.
Omg so insightful. Can you do literally all bands and artists, and like, explain, like how they're not good and how people who enjoy them are l, like, you know, wrong? And how your, like totally not subjective, music choice surpasses theirs???
That'd be great. You being an ex musician and all. So unique. So niche. Such an untold story. We've got so much to learn.
swifty found lol
Literally not. Not my cup of tea or demographic. I think I was a bit old for it when she hit the scene so to me it's just pop music of a slightly younger generation. But this guy is insufferable.
This reads like a copypasta
You need to calm down.
