Taylor Swift

For all of you that like Taylor Swift, I'm sorry. I'm going to kind of bash on her a little bit. I understand that Taylor Swift is a well-liked Artist throughout the U.S. however I don't understand why. I mean she does have a few good songs, but most of them are pretty much the same, they’re mostly about break ups. I honestly sometimes think that she may be a little crazy.... When she writes a break up song they all seem to be about how amazing she is and how horrible her new ex is.

 

In one of her songs (mean) I feel like I could have written a song like that when I was in like 3rd grade. Now I don't mean to sound like a critic, I don't really mean to bash on her so much, the main point of this post is actually about that fact that because of the radio, and media, people show artist one hit wonders and don't show their full artistic ability. Because when a teenager hears a song that's upbeat and catchy they automatically like it and show all of their friends, who show their friends, ect. When friends show friends the song becomes popular and in order to make sure each station stays popular they play popular songs.

 

            Because they only play the popular songs by each artist you don’t get to experience their whole artistic ability. Taylor Swift is a perfect example of this. Because of her breakup songs always being on the radio most people don’t know of the fact that she actually does have some artistic ability that doesn’t involve a breakup. There is a song called Safe and Sound, it’s actually really good. Listening to it I understand that it really sucks that a lot of people are very uneducated on a lot of different music. I encourage you to listen to more than a few songs by a few of your favorite artists, look at their range of talent and see if you actually like all of their stuff. don't just listen to what you hear on the radio, because it can really surprise you, the amount of talent that musicians really have.
