Personally I'm very familiar with all of Taylor's music, my wife is a huge fan and has her stuff playing all the time, hell, I think Lover a great record. I'm just exhausted of hearing about her and her music, I fully appreciate that it's not her fault in that regard. Come home TSwift is playing, go to work, TSwift is playing, go to a store, yup, TSwift, turn on nightly news and there she is, turn on espn boom Taylor (although this is better now that it's the off-season).
Yup, it's not the music, it's the level of saturation.
I was happy to go on Taylor-agnostic or Taylor-liking, even, until things got weird (no surprise, over COVID, when the parasocial relationships people have with influencers started to get weird!)
Awhile ago, Kev posted a poll that asked people if they "liked" Taylor Swift, and like 70% of the people answered "Yes". At the time, I thought, "sure, I'd say the same thing. I *like* her. It's not great, but I don't dislike it, and some of it is nice!"
These days, I'd answer the same question "NO!", because of the over saturation. Again, I could do with - or without - Taylor for a long time. But when something is so oversaturated, I feel the need to push back.
And that's normal... we can criticize popular things. We talk about how Louis Armstrong was "basic", Bob Dylan wasn't a good singer, how Lil Wayne made a fool of himself playing guitar, how Kurt Cobain was pretty bad at guitar.
I understand why Taylor is so popular, which is why I feel no problem pointing out the things worth of criticism that, in fact, lots of people are starting to point out, like her seemingly narrow artistic vision and her limited lyricism. I get that it's all subjective.
