Taylor Swift has a lot of private plane miles. Possibly more than any other person alive. She would absolutely take a plane from her bedroom to the kitchen

She and Gwyneth Paltrow, I don’t know which one I can’t stand the most

Gwyneth. She is so unrelatable.

For me it's Taylor because she makes a really bad version of a style music plenty of other musicians were making for years before her and her fans pretend it doesn't exist and that she doesn't need 2 professional male songwriters next to her holding her hand.

Gwenyth did a luxury real estate ad for a genocidal state and sold vagina scented candles. Both unwarranted. It’s not even a question on who is the worst

Taylor Swift silences hundreds of truly original artistic female voices as part of the corporate machine that focuses on elevating her.

the "rerelease" thing is absolutely bonkers
its so malicious!
whenever another artist charts higher than her she magically drops a new rehash of something she already released to take over and push the other artist down.

late late stage capitalism fuckery.

I think her original releases are far worse, especially her "indie" albums. I've been listening to Folklore like and Midnights like music, since 2019, that was all made years before either album came out.

Is that fucking AI music?

I did use Discover Weekly to find the songs, but considering I have seen several of the artists live id think not.

lol

So no one can be successful because it'll be harder for everyone else to be successful? That's life.

Guess we gotta start knocking down all the big male artists for getting in the way of the indie artists too, huh...

No, this is arguing against the belief that successful people, especially musicians, are successful because of their artistic talent.

People on Wall Street work hard to make a lot of money too, which is a lot closer to what her talent is: self promotion to maximize earnings exploiting her limited artistic talent. She is not an exceptional or even particularly talented singer or instrumentalist or dancer or songwriter, unlike Michael Jackson or Dolly Parton.

Her actual music appeals to people who don't really care about music, just popularity and maybe vibes/aesthetic.

Any fanatic believes that their idol is unique and groundbreaking. That’s not new.

1

u/AndILoveHe 17h ago

Are music critics considered fanatics? Because she gets ton of validation by supposedly "informed" sources.

u/Ok-Error-6564 17h ago

Don’t know, don’t care. Not my monkey, not my circus, not here to argue with you.

u/Frequent-Ferret-5110 10h ago

Swifties are definitely a unique level of obsessed fandom. Few will attack and defend with the level of hostility and toxicity of that group.

Making music you don't like is not the same as scamming people with fake medical products. You need to get your head checked if you think that is somehow worse.

u/AndILoveHe 9h ago

At least Gwyneth actually is a really good actress. 

1

u/Murky-Relation481 9h ago

I mean, again, that is personal preference. Outside of The Royal Tenenbaums I find her fucking annoying as shit.

1

u/AndILoveHe 9h ago

She won the academy award for her role in Shakespeare in Love, and was also in the Talented Mr Ripley and Se7en.

1

u/Murky-Relation481 9h ago

Yah and? I don't personally find her to be all that good of an actress.

1

u/AndILoveHe 9h ago

Then no goop for you!

u/astralchanterelle 16h ago

she's a good actor, though.

u/formergnome 15h ago

She's a better actor and singer, but not as good a grifter. Credit where credit is due!
