To not get the Taylor swift hype?

I have my hard hat on.
Probably going to get my arse handed to me on a plate.

I really don't get all this fuss about Taylor swift, I just find her utterly boring. All this fuss about midnight / album / preorders / codes to then try and attempt to get tickets in Scotland when you live on the cliffs of lands end. Threads and threads about it and people planning their outfits when the gig is a year away, I thought gig attire was jeans and a tour T shirt?! From various YouTube videos I've seen of her singing live I have to say I wasn't impressed at all. Mediocre voice, dodging high notes. I'm obviously a minority here as there's people willing to sell a kidney to just get a code to be in with a chance of getting a ticket.

I saw Pink in Hyde park a few weeks ago where she was singing live, doing incredible acts, dancing, acrobats etc and it was incredible. I'm not trying to compare, but I just find Taylor so average!

Can anyone tell me why there's all of this hype. I'm fully aware my username is rather fitting.

(I'll get my coat..)

I’m not a super fan but I like her and I’ve seen her in concert twice.

She definitely has that ‘something’ imo. And she seems like a good role model for young girls, takes no shit, points of misogyny.....and likes cats. what’s not to like? 😅

You have no basis to say comment on her live singing from a YouTube video 🤦‍♀️

If you don’t get the hype, that’s okay. Nobody gives a shit. Miss out on the fun all you want, but it’s poor form to make fun of those who are enjoying themselves.

Why do I have no basis to comment on a professional recording of her live singing? Are you saying you have to see somebody live to pass comment on their talent?

And where have I made fun of anyone please?

Taylor is magnificent.

I agree with a lot of what you say. However she has done some pretty great songs. I wouldn't see her live though.

The only thing I don't agree with is Pink.... can't stand her! All the hype, I'm just like why?!

Now Lady Gaga on the other hand is a true talent: singer, songwriter, pianist, dancer, the list goes on!

You're not alone. It's mediocre drivel to me.

Maybe some people just like different things?

Of course, I've just never seen so much hysteria on mumsnet over a pop singer.

I'm not the biggest fan, but I've seen her live once before and she was surprisingly brilliant and it was such a lovely feelgood occasion that I'm going again this time round.
