I tried hard not to like Taylor Swift, but her songs are just too damn catchy.

I've always understood how people like her, but I've never understood the sheer level of obsession. I'm not above liking some generic pop, but it's not gonna be what I have on repeat.

That’s exactly why I don’t like them.

I don't know her music and only hear about her in the news. Is their an album that is musically interesting, good composition, good musicians, innovative instrumentation? I don't care about lyrics.

No. It's all fluff. There's worse fluff out there, but it's all fluff.

1989 was probably the only one I bothered with and that was for the instrumentation. Had a nice "driving at night" almost vaporwave feel to some of the tracks, specifically Style. Would I call it innovative? Or terribly interesting? Not really, no. It was palatable and had a few tracks i could enjoy.

I know her music pretty well, having raised two daughters over the past 20 years

Personally, my favorite of her albums is Folklore. It’s closest to the indie sound I enjoy

Spice girls were better
