there's a lot of pop stars that are really exist merely as fashion and have no discernible talent as composers or performers. they do what they're told for five years, ten max, and then they disappear into obscurity. this mostly means dancing around like sluts to music that somebody else makes. they get paid some small percentage of what they made for the conglomerates that directed them. the truth is that they're at best actors and mostly dancers. they write little to nothing.

the frustrating thing about taylor swift is that it's readily apparent that the woman did have some talent and might have chosen to use it, but instead threw it away to maximize profit.

it's difficult to respect a person that would prioritize profit over art.

she'll be remembered for what she is/was and not for what she might have been.
