Maybe try wading through her back catalogue, especially her non singles.......That's what I did during Avril's hiatus and I gained a lot of respect for her. Also might try watching her tour videos, especially "Speak Now." That is what opened my eyes to what's she's really all about. She puts on a show that's a mix between a concert, an intimate sing along, and musical theater production. It's all very entertaining and I realized a lot of her songs are written expressly to perform in a mini "play" setting. In fact I think the reason she is so huge is BECAUSE of her live shows. They are really big and well thought out stage productions. It is also apparent that it's an ensemble act; she relies a lot on the "cast" around her...........you will see she shares the stage well and with no Ego. Yes, I guess I love her.........hahaha Here is how she is talking.......charming, funny and well spoken. I really thought the Cricket player wanted to lean in for a kiss. Ha. Totally agree. Taylor is a great human.

The thing that got me into Taylor was the Journey to Fearless documentary.

So...I came back home just to learn that Taylor Swift had finally released the song and the video and guys...I just can't even with her. On one side, I think that the song is bland, boring and honestly, bad by her standards, including the production. On the other, the video is a gem . One of the best I've watched in a long time, it's just an Eric Cartman-kind of revenge, lol. I love how she turns the whole thing about her playing the victim and being calculative and fake all the way around, it shows she is smart as hell. Now that everyone has seen through her "good girl faith and tight little skirt" image, she ditches it and still keeps winning. Anyways, as much as I never believed she was as good as she liked to be perceived, I don't think she is half as bad as some people put it, either. But calculative and revengeful? Heck yes

But she is kind too. She is like all humans i think. We have a lot of things inside ourselves.

I only heard the iTunes preview but it sounds awful. Why is she trying to do this rapping/talk singing thing? I don't know if this new direction is supposed to be a satire, or if it's actually genuine. Either way, it sounds god awful so far. 1989 was way better. It was an electronic pop album that still sounded like something she would do. This new stuff so far is just bland and poorly done IMO. I don't think dark and negative, angsty songs suit her. It feels like she's trying to play some kind of character.

Admittedly it gets better the more you listen to it, however my issue with this song is how generic it sounds. The beat, melody, etc. has been used in countless other pop songs. And the lyrics are poorly written, especially by her standards. I'm only holding out hope because this was how I felt about 1989 upon hearing the singles but ended up loving the full album so fingers crossed.

I don't hate her new stuff but never in a million years would I ever listen to this kind of songs if it wasn't by Taylor Swift. The same goes with Hello Kitty and I actually like the song when I'm in the mood for it (when I go out for a run for example). Even though Taylor's still very successful I have a feeling she will soon lose part of her fanbase (but gain a lot of new ones). Country fans are amongst the most loyal fans out there and they probably won't follow her down this route. Also, her strength has always been people relating to her even though she's the biggest pop star on earth but now she's not interacting with fans anymore and her songs are less relatable (I mean who got f-ed over by Kim Kardashian or Kanye West?!). I think the timing is perfect for Avril to start doing the exact opposite and release some "real" music made by humans and not computers. There must be people starving for this. I sure am.

Eh I'm neither here nor there on it. The chorus isn't so bad but the verses don't suit her. I'm not sold on the new image but we'll see.
