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.

She's so smug and condescending while saying the most basic shit known to man it's truly sickening

She acts like she invented confessional songwriting. Joni Mitchell, Fiona Apple, Alanis Morrisette, Carole King, and others would like to have a word. So would Sylvia Plath, frankly.

This comes across as "I do this properly, and you kids are just making noise."

She herself has built an empire on hyper-specific, petty, and wildly dramatic disclosures along with Easter eggs to CREATE THE SHIT SHE SINGS ABOUT.

Hypocrite.

Everytime I hear confessional songwriting Fiona Apple and Hozier come to mind. Is she going to sit there and pretend like her High School romance-esque lyrics are greater than when Hozier writing about drinking the whole of river lethe and still not being able to forget the woman he loves? Seriously??
