Page 6 | To think Taylor Swift is overrated?

No she's not rated enough! I always have liked her but was absolutely blown away by the new album!!! I think it's my favourite album of all time now. Her lyrics are so beautiful and some of the songs are just haunting. That being said, obviously if you don't like her then just don't listen!

SpeedyDrama · 30/04/2024 06:20

This again 🙄. I think Beyonce is ‘overrated’ but I’d be fed up if there were threads about her every other week. For some reason it’s only ever TS though. If you don’t enjoy her music, good for you - but this need to declare it at any opportunity is the new ‘I’m vegan!!’. No one cares.

Anyway, Reputation is one of the best albums of all time 🙂.

I'll tell you something right now. I'd rather burn my whole life down than listen to one more second of all this bitching and moaning.

Taylor says it best...

Mumsnet needs a Taylor Swift board. I'm not sure what's worse, the constant moaning about her or the cult like groupies

I don't think you need to be a cultlike groupie to not understand "overrated" as a criticism. Who decides these ratings? Is it like a league table? And what would "appropriately rated" look like? It's all a bit silly and reeks of envy. And I am absolutely not a Swiftie. I'm way too old for a start.

This is a great idea! We have a royal board after all.

I think there's been that many tedious, 'Taylor Swift needs to get back in her box' threads now that there's enough material for her to base a song or two on Mumsnet on her next album. Good news for Travis Kelce

MaryBeardsShoes · 29/04/2024 12:42

Oh, Is it that time of the week already?

Must be. There hasn't been a "Kick Taylor Swift " thread for a few days

OldHabitsDieScreaming · 29/04/2024 14:07

YAWN.

AIBU to think it's weird how some people expend so much energy on something they profess not to care about?

YABU
The woman is in her own category. So talented and so powerful.

I love her and I parent a gold standard Swifty.

SuperGreens · 29/04/2024 13:56

In what way, by who? The young girls who love her? I think thats a bit silly, all pop stars are overrated by that yardstick. I love the story of how she got her music rights back and shafted those private equity men who were trying to screw her financially. For that alone I dont think she is overrated. But I wouldnt pay to go see her, Im not her target audience, although I do like some of her songs, just as I like some of Harry Styles, but wouldnt pay to see him either.

Aaron95 · 29/04/2024 13:50

Popularity and talent are not the same thing. What nobody can deny is that she is very popular. She is probably the biggest music act in the world at the moment.

She gives hope to all the other mediocre women similar to herself.

Having you actually listened to her new album? Alexa keeps mixing in her shite with my music requests, and there is plenty of profanity in her 'songs'.

Show quote history

Oh boy 😆

I don't think she means the profanity

idontlikealdi · 29/04/2024 13:41

I like her but the new album is crap.

Akamai · 29/04/2024 13:40

I'm convinced these threads are started by Taylor Swift's PR.

No such thing as bad publicity.

She is overrated but we are stuck with her.

kitsuneghost · 29/04/2024 13:37

YANBU to think what you like
Nobody needs your approval

Divebar2021 · 29/04/2024 13:35

When I was a teenager I really loved Duran Duran and I remember an uncle really being dismissive about them - saying that they’d never last ( ha!). I think there’s some prejudice about the taste of young people and young women and girls in particular. Not just TS of course but other acts that appeal to that demographic. So although TS is not especially my taste I get really tired of the too cool for school posters shitting on her and the people who like her.

araiwa · 29/04/2024 13:27

Wow I've never heard such an original idea

Stopandlook · 29/04/2024 13:26

No, she’s not overrated.

You don’t get her or her music, that’s fine (lucky for you - her lyrics drag me back to a bad time and bad love!)

She’s a genius in my eyes and I wish her every happiness.

Taylor Swift is the new Parent and Child parking thread.

It’s fine not to rate Taylor Swift 🤷‍♀️ but in light of the stories about male multi millionaire musicians like P Diddy, I would rather it was someone like her making the big bucks and streamed by kids.

Personally, I don't listen to / follow artists because of their money making / business / PR acumen.

I don't think the music she makes is anything special - from what I've heard (admittedly I haven't heard all of it!) so from that point of view I think she the level of admiration she receives is disproportionate to her musical ability.

I agree you don't need to be a great singer technically to be a pop star.

PinkyFlamingo · 29/04/2024 13:00

You will need to explain a bit more. Everyone's taste in music is different.
