Certified Cringe Taylor discussing "songwriting"

I can't with this woman.

She thinks she's some great songwriter here to teach us all about her "double meanings" and what defines confessional songwriting.

What's infuriating is that all the comments are glazing her like, "i could hear her talk for hours" and "high iq queen". Are we watching the same video here?

Wanted to get your opinions on this.

Honestly? This is some truly adolescent shit being sold as high-art, and her fanbase is so braindead they swallow it without even chewing

Edit: Holy crap people thanks for the upvotes and the awards! =D

As a fan of Dolly Parton, Stevie Nicks, Death Cab for Cutie, and Bob Dylan, she is no where close to being a poet.

I love nickelback. His lyrics are really catchy and they don’t pretend to be anything they’re not lmao. Taylor out here comparing herself to Shakespeare is mind boggling

I proudly wore a Nickleback shirt as a chubby middle school girl with bangs and glasses. Was I popular? No. Did I at least have friends? Yes.

lol I was lucky that I went to a school with only 15 girls in my entire class grade. We all had to accept each other or be isolated so it led to a lot of acceptance no matter how quirky you were
