In the lead-up to the announcement, Taylor Swift and her Eras\u2064 Tour have dominated media headlines. Her hype has\u200b gotten so out of control that Harvard is now offering a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/11\/30\/style\/taylor-swift-harvard-course.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">class<\/a> on Taylor Swift.<\/p>\n<p>The question we all should be \u2062asking ourselves is why? \u2062Sure, her concerts have gone gangbusters\u2062 this year, she has an \u2062undeniably devoted fan base, and her music is\u200b wildly well-known. As a 24-year-old woman, \u200cI know a thing or two about the Taylor\u200b Swift effect. \u2064Like every other \u2063female around my age, I listened to \u201cShake It Off\u201d and \u201cOur Song\u201d in high school. Taylor\u200b Swift\u2019s \u2062music, particularly the older \u2062stuff, evokes a palpable nostalgia shared by \u2062millennial and Gen Z women everywhere. But just because\u2062 her music is popular, and for some\u2062 sentimental, \u2062does not\u2062 mean it\u2019s good.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-2-long d-flex justify-content-center\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center; \" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-442786553\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1379703300879-0\" class=\"mb-30\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-3576941f2bcc49c0bb2dc02d95d4a219 fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-2\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-3576941f2bcc49c0bb2dc02d95d4a219\"><\/div>\n<p>Swift\u2019s \u200cmelodies are objectively uncomplicated \u200band repetitive. \u200bYouTuber and\u2062 pianist\u200b David Bennett <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=AbW3sES2zCw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">found<\/a> that\u200d she\u2019s used the same chord progression in more than 20 of her\u200b songs. \u201cIt\u2019s not that uncommon for a\u200c songwriter to write more than one song \u200busing a \u200bparticular chord progression,\u201d Bennett \u2063explained in one video. \u2063\u201cThey might write three, four, maybe even\u200c five songs using\u2062 the exact same order of chords. However, Taylor Swift \u2063takes this to\u200d a whole new level.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Even hard-core Swift fans\u2064 can admit there\u2019s some truth to this. \u2064Watch the\u2064 below and <em>tell<\/em> me\u2064 it doesn\u2019t <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/no-spike-in-florida-coronavirus-cases-despite-no-mask-mandate\/\" title=\"No Spike in Florida Coronavirus Cases Despite No Mask Mandate\">sound<\/a> like every Taylor Swift song ever:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"Yy57NcED8izxRB0IAHvgh\"><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@neoliberalobliterator\/video\/7233541022372891950\" data-video-id=\"7233541022372891950\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width: 605px;min-width: 325px;\">\n<section>\n<a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@neoliberalobliterator\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@neoliberalobliterator?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">@neoliberalobliterator<\/a><\/p>\n<p>No\u2063 hate \u2063tho. <a title=\"nohate\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/nohate?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#nohate<\/a> <a title=\"love\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/love?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#love<\/a> <a title=\"music\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/music?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#music<\/a> <a title=\"hoodirony\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/hoodirony?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#hoodirony<\/a> <a title=\"memes\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/memes?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#memes<\/a> <a title=\"taylorswift\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/taylorswift?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#taylorswift<\/a> <a title=\"music\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/music?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#music<\/a> <a title=\"industryplant\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/industryplant?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#industryplant<\/a> <a title=\"industrysecrets\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/industrysecrets?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#industrysecrets<\/a> <a title=\"society\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/society?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#society<\/a> <a title=\"nichetok\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/nichetok?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#nichetok<\/a> <a title=\"fyp\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/fyp?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#fyp<\/a> <a title=\"foryou\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/foryou?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#foryou<\/a> <a title=\"foryoupage\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/foryoupage?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#foryoupage<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c original sound - Parker Boyle Jones\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/original-sound-7223581429363198766?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">\u266c \u2063original sound \u2013 Parker Boyle Jones<\/a><br \/>\n<\/section>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Her lyrics are notoriously \u2063redundant, too.

There\u2019s something undeniably exploitative about\u200c profiting off songs that showcase one person\u2019s side\u200d of a private relationship. Each\u200d of her ex-boyfriends subtweeted in her music, deservedly or not, gets treated to public \u2062humiliation and the vengeance of ruthless teenage Swiftie trolls.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes Swift writes entire songs about people she barely \u2062even dated. \u2062Swift was in a relationship with actor Jake Gyllenhaal for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elle.com\/culture\/music\/a38233497\/taylor-swift-10-minute-all-too-well-lyrics-jake-gyll\">a mere three months<\/a>, yet\u200c she managed to create \u200da 10-minute-long song about their short-lived romance. It&#8217;s time to question the quality of Taylor Swift&#8217;s music and whether it truly deserves\u2063 all \u2063the praise it receives.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Is Taylor Swift\u2062 the Problem?<\/h2>\n<p>It was <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2021\/11\/12\/did-taylor-swift-just-ruin-her-best-song-of-all-time\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">three months<\/a> before Taylor Swift released her 2012 hit song &#8220;All Too Well,&#8221; inspired by a short-lived romance. Now, almost a <em>decade<\/em> later, she has rereleased a <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2021\/11\/12\/did-taylor-swift-just-ruin-her-best-song-of-all-time\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">10-minute-long<\/em> version of the song<\/a>, once again based on that same three-month relationship.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>If \u2062around a dozen of Swift\u2019s relationships \u2062have burst into flames and inspired countless vindictive break-up songs,\u2064 at what point do we listeners start realizing that perhaps Taylor Swift is the problem?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Of course, suggesting that Swift may not be\u200b a great artist or\u200d role model can lead to backlash. Swifties, the media, and \u200cTaylor Swift <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2023\/10\/03\/criticizing-taylor-swift-and-her-fellow-girlbosses-rouses-the-fragile-feminist-ego\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">herself<\/a> often accuse critics of misogyny, attributing any criticism to her gender.<\/p>\n<p>My colleague Mark Hemingway <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2023\/09\/05\/taylor-swifts-popularity-is-a-sign-of-societal-decline\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">argues<\/a> that Swift&#8217;s popularity reflects societal decline. While there\u200c is truth to that, we cannot ignore the media&#8217;s role\u2063 in promoting and shaping the Taylor Swift phenomenon for its \u2062own benefit.<\/p>\n<p>Taylor Swift embodies the image of a perfect, controllable woman. She supports Joe Biden, identifies as a feminist, and advocates for mask-wearing. Like her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/how-the-daily-wire-uncanceled-gina-carano-star-of-terror-on-the-prairie\/\" title=\"How The Daily Wire Uncanceled Gina Carano, Star Of \u2018Terror On The Prairie\u2019\">young female fans<\/a>,\u200d Swift is easily influenced by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/alan-joseph-bauer-for-the-people\/\" title=\"Alan Joseph Bauer: For the People?\">left-leaning ideologies<\/a>.\u200c She has blamed Donald Trump for the 2020 Black Lives Matter \u200briots and\u2062 accused him of voter suppression.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>In a tearful <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/fact-check-tennessee-christian-values-192200557.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">clip<\/a> \u200cfrom her Netflix documentary, Swift \u2064claimed that then-Tennessee U.S. Senate candidate Marsha \u200dBlackburn goes against &#8220;Tennessee Christian values.&#8221; Swift seemingly believes that Blackburn&#8217;s opponent, pro-abortion Phil Bredesen, upholds\u2062 these values. One wonders if Swift truly understands Christianity or anything at all.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yourtango.com\/entertainment\/danger-taylor-swift-fans-use-weaponized-feminism\">leftists<\/a> have criticized Swift for her misunderstanding of feminism and her tendency to label any criticism as sexism.<\/p>\n<p>Simply put, Taylor Swift is\u2062 not a &#8220;radical.&#8221; She does not align with Bernie\u200d Sanders or oppose the experimental Covid shot. Swift represents a naive, basic woman. In the 2024 election, Democrats will likely use\u200b her to support Joe Biden once again, despite her influence over young \u2063leftists who may not prefer him.<\/p>\n<p>The media and Democrats \u200cadmire not\u200c only Swift&#8217;s politics but also her lifestyle. While she is currently dating Travis Kelce,\u2063 a Kansas City Chiefs player, their relationship, like all of Swift&#8217;s previous\u2063 ones,\u200d is \u2063expected to end. She will then return to singing spiteful songs about\u200c her\u200c exes and proclaiming her independence.<\/p>\n<p>Despite\u2062 her blessings, Swift often\u200c appears unhappy. The single-lady lifestyle she represents has created a dependable voting block for Democrats among young women. This is the real reason she is \u2063hailed as &#8220;Person of the \u2063Year.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Everything about Taylor Swift, from her music to\u200c her politics, is mediocre and predictable. She is\u200d not a thought leader or artistic genius but rather\u2064 a depressed &#8220;girl \u200dboss&#8221; cat lady whose narcissism makes \u2063her a \u2063toxic romantic partner. To\u2064 Democrats and the corporate media, however, she is a valuable asset in their political agenda.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> Does Taylor Swift&#8217;s excessive focus on her \u200bpersonal life and relationships make her\u200b music less relatable to a wider audience<\/h2>\n<p><span> <\/p>\n<p>But let&#8217;s not forget that Taylor Swift is also a product\u2063 of the\u200b music industry.\u2063 She is manufactured and packaged to appeal \u2062to a \u2064certain demographic, \u200band \u2062her music reflects that. It&#8217;s catchy and easily digestible, but lacks depth and originality.<\/p>\n<p>Swift&#8217;s music is formulaic. It follows a predictable pattern of boy-meets-girl, boy-breaks-girl&#8217;s-heart, girl-gets-revenge. While this may resonate with \u2064some listeners,\u2063 it ultimately becomes repetitive and uninspiring. There are no surprises or new\u200b ideas in her\u200c songs.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Swift&#8217;s excessive focus on her personal \u200clife and relationships is tiresome. It&#8217;s as if she believes that her own experiences are the only \u200dones worth singing about. There is a lack of diversity and relatability in her music, which makes\u200d it \u2062less appealing to a \u200cwider audience.<\/p>\n<p>And let&#8217;s not forget the controversy surrounding Swift&#8217;s feud \u200dwith \u2063other artists, \u2062most notably Kanye West. While Swift portrays herself\u200c as\u2062 a victim in these situations, \u200bit&#8217;s clear that she is not above using these conflicts to her advantage. It&#8217;s a manipulative\u2063 and calculated \u2063move \u200bthat further tarnishes her image as a \u2062genuine artist.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, Taylor Swift&#8217;s music may be popular and beloved by many, but\u2062 that doesn&#8217;t make it \u200cgood. It lacks creativity, depth, and relatability. Swift may\u2064 have found success in the music industry, but it&#8217;s time to question \u200cwhether\u2064 she truly deserves the accolades and praise she receives.<\/p>\n<p>Disclaimer: The\u2064 views\u2062 and opinions expressed in this article are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of any agency or media outlet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unsurprisingly, Taylor Swift, the beloved of corporate media, was declared Time Magazine&#8217;s &#8220;Person of the Year.&#8221; Her dominance in media coverage, thanks to her Eras Tour, was evident before the announcement.
