To not get the Taylor swift hype?

Lmao the same rammstein thousands have been calling to have their shows cancelled amid the numerous sexual assault allegations? Sounds like a great band to be stoked about seeing.

Well it isn’t a ridiculous comment, actually! It’s how you come across to me.

You have posted on here saying you don’t understand the hype, when it’s very simple to understand why people get excited about things they love. The only reason I can see for not understanding this is if you don’t know what it is like to be passionate about something.

Its totally fine to not be in to an artist, I’m not big into TS personally, but you surely can understand why people are excited, you’ve just come on here to try and bring other people down. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Ah well nothing like jumping to conclusions is there. Yes metal (and specifically Industrial) is my favourite genre, but I listen to just about everything bar rap/ grime/ garage. I love country music. But please, do go on about metalheads being ‘snobs’. Not everyone has to fall at the feet of Taylor Swift 🤣🤣🤣

Have you read One Two Three Four by Craig brown? The details about how mad the Beatles lives got are mind blowing. I don’t know how they all stayed so sane (well alright John went a bit funny).
mad reactions to pop stars aren’t new.

Even Kim and kanye said Taylor wasn't told about the bitch line. Having her naked in the music video (obviously edited and not actually her naked) is vile, as is the footage from his concert of him getting thousands of mostly men to chant "fuck taylor swift". How anyone is defending him is so bloody bizarre.

I'm not a fan especially, but I've got an 11 year old who is, and so I'll do the best I can to get her tickets. We went to see Harry last year, and I didn't "get it" beforehand, but after just wow! I guess she's the female equivalent of him so if we do get tickets (everything crossed) im sure I'll be converted.

“Fuck Taylor Swift”? Think you need to grow up a bit there…

No I wasn't around. I'm in my 20s.

Google beatlemania Australia 1964 on YouTube, or their return to Heathrow 1964. I'm pretty sure you will find lots of clips for major stars over the years but beatlemania was mind boggling

All too well (10 min version) is also a great one to listen to. She tells a full story and captures what it is like to be dumped by someone you were in love with.

She wrote every single track on Speak Now…

@SquashPenguin Rammstein is just noise to me, and I find the people who are into music that sounds like "just noise" are generally the most snobbish about other genres.

I don't have any trouble respecting that others enjoy their sound though!

She is quite simply the music industry right now. The biggest artist in the world by far. She’s an extremely talented songwriting and doesn’t have a voice for singing high notes but has a stunning alto voice. She also comes across as a very nice person and cares about her fans very much!

I plucked out one album of hers (first one I came across while scrolling Grammy Awards)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evermore_(Taylor_Swift_album)#Track_listing

She had five songwriters with her on that album, and only one song out of fifteen she wrote herself ("No Body no Crime").

From Freddie Mecury to Taylor Swiff, It's a shocking indictment of music today that such a derivative artist, nice pleasant girl that she is, is deemed among the best of the current acts today.

The other amazing thing about Taylor is different people give different favourite songs. They are rarely the no. 1 hits but the album tracks. There is so much depth in her work.

OP - As a recently converted 50 year old Swiftie, let me try and explain.

For Taylor - it is all about the lyrics. Forget her voice. There are better singers and better stage performers (though she is amazing live).

But what she does better than anyone, is capture a feeling. Capture a moment. Paint a picture. Her song ‘Fifteen’ captures what it feels like to be 15. ‘The Best Day’ captures what it’s like to be 13 and have your mum as your only friend.

Her best lyrics are so insightful. They capture feelings that feel very personal, but at the same time others can relate to.

She is also an amazing role model for resilience. Her song ‘Blank Space’ was written as she got all this press criticism portraying her as some sort of insane man eater. So she writes a song imagining what it would be like to be that person. Just brilliant.

Folklore is the best album. At first I found it samey, but then I found myself becoming obsessed with each song in turn.

And she also has the fun stuff - Style - Wildest Dreams - just brilliant

It’s also weird because her songs are not all child friendly.

Her early stuff, sure, but not after that.

HA! Love that song! I have Coldplay on my Spotify - along with TS/Pink/Gaga - no Ed though

For all the music snobs I also have The Transplants, Hole, FF, The Cranberries, Mary Black, Bob Dylan, Crowded House, the album from Oh Brother Where Art Thou and Dave!

Is there nothing that you feel excited and passionate about?? You really can’t understand why fans of something/someone might seek to connect with other fans?

This x 1,000,000

Im in Berlin now ready to see them tomorrow night. And I’m going to Paris next weekend to see them again 💪🏻💪🏻 Fuck Taylor Swift when you can see actual talent and decent music 🤣🤣🤣 The obsession with her on here is mental.

HIER KOMMT DIE SONNE 🔥🔥🔥

It’s a perfectly fine question to ask OP, since it’s a massively hyped tour that resulted in Ticketmaster going to court. From the outside people are always going to question it, and I get that even as a fan.

The reason you get such emotional responses is because people who don’t ‘get’ Taylor see her as a blonde bubblegum pop princess and decide she is awful and talentless despite not knowing her music. This is turn pisses off the fans who know she writes her own music and is exceptionally talented, so they clap back. The truth is that she’s popular because she’s currently the best song writer out there, can create quiet introspective poetry, yet she also knows how to throw out a banger and get the radio hits.

If you’re interested in checking out her lyrics I’d suggest the following songs:

All Too Well
The Archer
Peace
Would've Could’ve Should’ve
Maroon
Dear John
Last Kiss

I cant stand her! She seems utterly miserable and not that great of a singer

@SayHi can you link to the recording where Taylor approves being called a bitch in the Kanye song? I don’t think you can.

She knew about the line about sex with her. That was in the recording. But the calling her a bitch?
