Her Music I mean.
Seems to be a ginormous following of all age groups! I don't get it, listened to a lot of her Music including the new Album - to me it just sounds like music for Children / Tweens?! What am I missing??

I don't really take much notice of her unless I hear her songs on the radio and then I'm a bit meh. Although I do hate that Anti hero song.

Like all art, it’s subjective. I love her music and have done since her first single. I also love that dd16 loves her too so we have a shared interest.

From another angle, I had a tough year at work with a bullying situation. Seeing TS recover after her much more public bullying situation is a great reminder to people that life can be hard but you can survive it and come back even better. Love a story of a bully not winning.

I don't get the hype either.

I'm surprised she is so revered , but then I'm not her demographic.
I liked ' shake it off ' as it's a classic pop song , but her newer music seems samey.
She is very popular and richer than I'll ever be, so she's doing something right!

I have put the whole new album on Alexa. It's very bland. Five songs in.
It's a bit Lana del Ray in places

I thought I was the only one - although I greatly admire her guts and attitude, but the music not so much.

Well no -I mean this is the second thread here today about it - but it's not compulsory to like her music so chose something else.

I wouldn't switch it off if her music came on the radio, but I wouldn't actively seek it out either.

It's just kind of meh to me.

bluetopazlove · 20/04/2024 14:05

I'm not really bothered got other things to think about .

Pocketfullofdogtreats · 20/04/2024 14:05

Nope. I don't get it either.
