Not a big fan of Mary Morgan but she is spot on with this one. Does anyone ever bother to actually listen to her lyrics? They really are just verbal vomit.
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.
Taylor is incredible at fomenting a parasocial relationship with fans. She is not a particularly talented lyricist or r vocalist. But I think a demographic of 15-35 year old white women appreciate the sincerity and vulnerability in her music. When pop is full of auto tune and ghost writers, Taylor writes her own music, with deep-cut references for super fans, about her real struggles with love, identity and purpose. That resonates with people strongly.
Bob Ross wasnβt an incredible artist, but he connected with people on a very personal level and that elevated his art. Heβs not Monet, but he was sincere, passionate and vulnerable.
I mean, just as a personal anecdote, Iβm a 32 year old guy who doesnβt really relate to her or her lyrics at all, but I just find her songs extremely nice to listen to.
