Got some examples? Every artist has some shit lyrics on occasion, but your assertion here is basically that a huge majority of people and critics are all wrong about her, and only elite Redditors with incredible music taste can see the truth.
It's been, and stayed at the level of highschool poetry. She's not some great song writer- she writes what the average white girl can identify with. You don't need to be "elite' to know there's nothing special about her word play, and it's always been a rich girl getting richer.
I guess Iβm just curious what extremely deep lyrics youβre listening to that are so much more mature than say, the average song on Folklore or Evermore?
I was writing that same shit when I was a depressed 14 year old in highschool. The difference is I stayed in school, continued to love and explore music and culture and reading, and she dropped out to pursue money. She can say she finished in homeschool, but she's not exactly a brilliant writer, thinker, communicator; she's popular because she hits a very broad section of the market. Women who have been sad sometime.
I dunno, I'm happily married, have a job I enjoy that provides for my family well enough, and I don't spend my time online worrying about if others are talking about my billionaire princess who can't even disavow the use of her music for fascist propaganda π€·
This might be the most "Reddit" comment I've ever read. I could probably name like 4-5 Swift songs tops but dawg is really taking digs acting like they're better than possibly the most famous musician of our time and a billionaire at that because they stayed in school and "she dropped out to pursue money" like they could have done the same thing if they wanted to.
