#so many beloved classic songs aren't necessarily groundbreaking either but nobody says they're not good lol

[aerithisms]

"taylor swift doesn't know what it's like to be a normal person so she'll never be able to write about certain experiences the way other artists can" is a fair critique of her as an artist but i will say i think if you think all she's trying to do is play pretend as a normal person and that she's never written anything profound about her specific life experiences you just don't know her discography. her songs ABOUT fame have produced some of her best lyricism because she understands fame in a particular way that very few people on this earth do. and while she has never been a normal adult she WAS a normal child/teen and i think the way she's able to write about that in retrospect now has also produced some of her best work. no she's not a groundbreaking unique poet but just as a lot of swifties overstate her poeticism i think a lot of people who don't like her do understate it

#blahs #'she's not groundbreaking' is such a nothing criticism to me like literally who cares. she's still good! #so many beloved classic songs aren't necessarily groundbreaking either but nobody says they're not good lol #and i think what makes her SO loved isn't just her lyrics it's the way she can spin them into such great melodies #like matching your words to a good tune that fits the tone is a whole other skill than poetry! it's like magic to me #if you tell me you don't think ANY of her songs are bangers you're a liar. you're lying to me #sorry this is so annoying of me but another day another viral anti-taylor swift post. are we all tired yet #it's not praxis to hate her
