Based, as expected from the master.https://youtu.be/Q1HCg4ClHVEEveryone is at it though, even The Guardian(!) referred to one of her new songs as "dogshit".https://www.theguardian.com/music/2026/sep/25/taylor-swift-the-life-of-a-showgirl-the-encore-review
He's right
>literal who trying to get attention says popular artist is the le death of music for the 567th timeYawn
>>131654524forgotten until zoomers revived him on tiktok
>>131654437Holy based. I saw Todd live in August and he killed it. He can still belt it out pretty good and he shreds
>>131654437I don't think she's that bad. Better than many others at songwriting and singing. I enjoyed S/T, Fearless, and particularly Speak Now. The long version of all too well is her best work imo, and I've liked some of her collabs with superior musicians. But yeah she occasionally has some pithy songwriting, although most of her output is mediocre or has too many collaborators imo. Of course, I'm some nobody and not Todd Rundgren.

>>131654437>classically trained piano playerThat just means she got molested by her piano teacher XD
>>131658256Her albums are mostly ghostwritten
Life of a Showgirl really was utter shit tho
>No, I'm not gonna complain about low effort mumblerap or reggaeton... THE problem with music is this WHITE woman with well produced tunes over there
>>131656179>>>/r/ope
>>131661195Except for the stupid race bullshit, that's a good point. There's way worse music and worse pop stars than her, but I assume he singled her out for her global notoriety and cultural impact.
>>131654437He's right.
>>131661300>I assume he singled her out for her global notoriety and cultural impact.Yeah, probably. When was the last time people gave a shit about reggaeton on the same scale that they care about Taylor Swift?
>>131661033That applies to most of pop. She contributed more than most, especially on her earlier records.
>>131654437Retarded boomer seethe, random Lady Gaga glazing is also funny.Vocalists are musicians. Voice is an instrument. I bet he likes Sinatra and Elvis. Taylor Swift mostly sucks but that's cause she personally has no taste and choses to collaborate and record the shittiest of songs, some okay albums popped up here and there but mostly drivel. But her vocal chops are good and she is definitely a musician. Just needs better producers.

>>131654437All of these people are self important. Fuck all of them.
>>131654437>When you produced Meat Loaf’s Bat Out of Hell, you said at the time that you didn’t care if it succeeded or not, because you just wanted to make fun of Bruce Springsteen. If you produced an album in 2026 to make fun of an artist, who would be your target?>Taylor Swift, of course. There’s an argument to be made that she ruined music. It’s an understandable phenomenon. It’s just that, to me, Taylor Swift is the apotheosis of mediocrity. It’s the era of the female artists. The biggest artists in the world are female artists at this point, and that’s because of video games. Back in the ’90s, boys stopped spending money on music and started spending it on video games, and that left the music market with, “Well, where do we go here?” And they said, “Well, there’s all these young girls and they’ve got their allowances, too. Why don’t we start making music for young girls instead of Pearl Jam or something like that?”vidya is to blame
>>131654437this nigga just hates anybody popular because he blew his chance at being big time by going arty farty.that said, he actually is surprisingly down to earth and affable (at least in the recent beato interview), so it's kinda weird he sorta followed the artiste stereotype in the 70's.
