Since this thread came up I listened to a sampling of Taylor Swift music and came away unimpressed.
Shake it off is good...but of the 10 or so songs that came up as popular...that was the only one I recognized and likely the only one I would revisit.
To contrast, I played a random sampling of the pop icon of my generation, Madonna... and there is no comparison.
Even a lot of Madonna's side B offerings are pretty amazing.
Millennials get the short end of the stick again.
Where I will give Taylor Swift MUCH credit is her continued reclaiming of her master recordings ... not by purchase...but by RERECORDING new masters and rendering the old master recordings worthless.
Good for her. Stick it to them.
After losing her masters to Scooter Braun, Taylor Swift is in the process of making new ones.
