I read the articles, could still not give a shit about her either way. She’s not bigger than Elvis or the Beatles. You’re going to need 50 more years to make that argument.

I’m an almost 70 yo and believe she is very deserving of the accolades she receives. She uses her fame to enable others. She doesn’t appear selfish in any way but rather compassionate, a feminist and a progressive, but doesn’t accept bs even from her father. While I don’t follow her music, I am a musician and appreciate what she brings to her followers.

I'm so sick of this person, who really cares what she does.

I would rather talk about Taylor Swift than ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE DEATH CULT! I’ve participated by buying her albums and listening to her! She is real! Unlike the orange Cheeto!

I'm not sick of reading about, hearing about, or seeing Taylor Swift.

I admire her talent, and normalicy. A worldwide superstar maintaining their normalicy during a miraculous career is no easy task. Good on you Taylor.

As a political junkie I really appreciate the analysis on the Taylor Swift and Joni Mitchell impact by Ari Melber.

Taylor Who?

I read all the articles and love her even more. She cares about people, her country, those less fortunate than her, voting, cats, etc. plus she has a great vocabulary which she uses in her music. She loves variety and uses it well. Many of her pieces have a hip hop vibe. Long live and her positive influence on America.

My own podcast about Taylor Swift is the story of my appreciation for her music and songwriting following the initial indifference. https://scottholleran.substack.com/p/podcast-taylor-swift-as-woman-of
