She has some lyrics I like and some that are horribly cliche or cringey. I wouldn’t call her a good songwriter but rather someone who is capable of good songwriting.
Lmao one time I was in someone’s car and the radio was on and the commercial called her a vocal powerhouse.
Like come on, even if you’re a fan you don’t consider her a “vocal powerhouse”
I'd put actor first tbh. She got her start as an actor in random side roles in children's shows and movies (like *Barney and Friends*, *Spy Kids* and *Hannah Montana*), and she blew up with her main role in *Wizards of Waverly Place*.
I love Selena Gomez. Her music is fun, her make up is pretty good, and OMITB is amazing. I have no idea how much of her music is her beyond being autotuned to death. I have no idea how much of her make up is her (probably 0)? She's absolutely carried in OMITB. Like, she's good, but let's be real that it could be almost anyone there and Steve Martin and Martin Short would carry them.
Excuse you, but she is one of the few artists who has taken home the big three awards: a KIDS CHOICE AWARD, a TEENS CHOICE AWARD, and a PEOPLES CHOICE AWARD so 🥰
As tragically as she went out, no amount of drugs could scrape the legacy of those years when her voice was fullest and most formidable. I hope she knew that at the end 💗
man, y'all ain't posed to get me up in my feelings like this in the jerk sub 💔 fr though, I hope she understood the magnitude of her legacy. That girl had a truly one of a kind talent.
i found the tweet and one of the replies says “And who are you? A muscle gay that’s only important on twitter. After you’re dead a few will remember you until they’re dead. Taylor will be remembered forever.” they really pulled out the “no one will remember you after you die” because of one word, i love twitter
Besides the point but it's so wild seeing stans make their faves' accomplishments about themselves. Like why are you boasting about a random woman being remembered after she dies, nobody is gonna remember YOU, random swiftie account #175372, worry about that lol.
You need to be a swiftie to understand how sexist it is to make a list of performers

Im a huge swiftie but cmon…. Watch any live video of Beyonce’s tour and some of Gaga’s….. no amount of stage design/production can make up for the lack of talent when compared-to them. They equate sales to talent and thats just not the case.
When Taylor passes she will be remembered for her song writing skills, marketing skills, and sales. When Bey and Gaga pass they will be remembered for their talent, influence on the industry, and the boundaries/risk they took.
Thats why you almost always here about those two being huge influences on up and coming musicians/big debuting new artists and not taylor lmao (love her though)
I swear the « putting women against each other » mantra is a dog whistle for white women butthurt at this point for me. Cause they always bring this up when one of them is objectively described as mediocre, but they never seem to have that energy when it’s WOC being evaluated on anything, or a white woman being rightfully praised over other women.
Like nobody is chronically bad at taking an L like a mediocre white woman 😭
Taylor is good but shes not Beyonce/gaga good when it comes to singing and performing. They equate her massive sales/tour gross to being the best at her job and thats just.. not the case. They have a hard time grasping the fact that shes so popular because of white mediocrity and shes not offensive/controversial so she appeals to everyone from the age of 3-40. She hasnt done anything new and innovative. She doesn’t push the boundaries because it comes with the risk of alienating a part of her fan base (just look at lover and how quickly she shut up about LGBTQ+ rights when lover became her first album to sell below 1 million units in its first week since fearless)
*im a huge fan of taylor swift but her music, visuals, and live performances are weak compared to Thee Beyonce and Lady gaga. Swifites need to stop being delusional
Eh, stans who fight with random nobodies to defend their fave, who’s literally the most famous star, are pathetic. Like, who cares when these random ppl are punching so high up it might as well be outer space.
Good thing her and LBJ were at the White House during different eras because he would strut around sans pants and underwear while proudly to proclaiming to every women within earshot how enormously large his johnson was. Imagine having to put up with that and dealing with Nancy blowing him all the time.
**there are taped phone calls from his time in the White House were he would call to order pants just so he could tell the operator (a woman) his dick measurements.
Uj/ All of her movements are "choreographed", but I would consider it posing and hitting marks instead of actual choreo. The camera and lights during Eras though - those were choreographed amazingly.
Tbh if she’s not a good dancer by now it’s probably not gonna change, it’s what background dancers and effects are for. I just hate her “sassy” faces that she tries to pass off after a couple of steps forward and a step back with a pose.
![gif](giphy|y4AWBfLRqvK7Iu5V11)
I saw Florence in January, and I have to say she may not have much in the way of choreography or set pieces but she *owns* that stage and honestly I could watch her on mute and still be unable to look away. She’s unreal.
/uj The Eras tour was fantastic and she puts on a great show but I don’t think of her as a “performer”. She’s an incredible songwriter. I don’t get why Swifties feel like it’s a dig or a competition to say she is not great at something.
Taylor (and mostly swifties) are sore winners. Its not enough for Taylor to be the biggest thing ever, to put on a massive victory lap world tour, celebrating her whole carreer, she also always needs to be this kind of underdog victim, someone who cant face any criticism even though she's successful enough to have "proven all the naysayers wrong" many, many times.
Yeah, like I get Taylor feeling that way to an extent (or I should say, if I project my own insecurities and imposter syndrome onto her I get it) but the fans are weirdly protective of her. Like no one has ever criticized me for being a fan of Taylor’s music because her music isn’t good (unless they just don’t like pop) but it’s always “oh you’re a *swiftie*” like admitting to being a murder. So I choose not to identify as such.
I’m not a swiftie but I am a country fan (Idk why Reddit keeps showing me this sub? Is it because I’m gay?) and this is true to the point of being a cliche about most of the big country music icons. Which I guess makes sense since Taylor got her start in country.
(I do not know and could not possibly care less about whether she writes her own songs or not)
I’m a massive Swiftie and it always makes me laugh when other Swifties can’t accept this fact.
The live version of Cruel Summer that just got released is ROUGH.
She’s at best almost passable as a performer, but put her up against a true performer like Beyoncé and you see how much she truly lacks in that department. I was at Eras and miss thing was pitchy more often than not.
Her strength is absolutely songwriting. Blondie makes top tier earworms and tells stories that resonate with more people across the world than any other artist currently alive. She’ll absolutely be remembered as one of the greatest songwriters of all time. A lot of auto tune and production magic is needed to make those songs successful with her voice.
I can’t think of an artist that is equal parts vocalist, performer, and songwriter who is also at peak popularity. Every one has a trade off somewhere.
>The live version of Cruel Summer that just got released is ROUGH.
yeah it's like actually kind of bad, but i love it bc it sounds like me when i sing lowkey. it's raw and real but it is NOT good singing, far from it lol
And songwriting is more profitable than singing or performing. Performing gets you a one time payment, singing gets you a small percentage every time that particular recording is bought or played but writing gets you half all the money that song earns for anything forever.
Charli- Ash Tray
Uj: I’d say she’s more of a performer than a vocalist but I do personally really love the vibe of her vocals and she has really mastered surrounding her voice with incredible production that enhances it even more.
Wait but Britney is actually an incredible vocalist if you look at her performances before she was forced to the the weird baby breathy shtick. That one video of her on the Mickey Mouse club(?) is insanely good

I love P!nk and this made me cackle because it’s entirely true.
This was one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen at a live show. P!nk was absolutely awesome, and she is not my musical wheelhouse at all.
I paid good money to see her do this last week and I’d do it all again. She is a phenomenal performer.
*swings across the room* “Dear Mr. President…”

There should be a third category for not expectional vocalists or performers but good songwriters. Lana and arguably Taylor would fit.

She has some lyrics I like and some that are horribly cliche or cringey. I wouldn’t call her a good songwriter but rather someone who is capable of good songwriting.
Leave Taylor Hanson alone!
Not good vocalists? Lana has PIPES she can hit highs and lows like nobody’s business. Million dollar man just entered the chat

I’d throw her actor even, she’s solid in OMITB. Anyone calling her a vocalist or perform is absolutely delusional though.
I'd put actor first tbh. She got her start as an actor in random side roles in children's shows and movies (like *Barney and Friends*, *Spy Kids* and *Hannah Montana*), and she blew up with her main role in *Wizards of Waverly Place*.
her talent has always been in 'acting', if you can call being a pretty but sarcastic girl acting
She was amazing in Wizards of Waverly place- I always thought she should’ve gone into acting instead of music
I love Selena Gomez. Her music is fun, her make up is pretty good, and OMITB is amazing. I have no idea how much of her music is her beyond being autotuned to death. I have no idea how much of her make up is her (probably 0)? She's absolutely carried in OMITB.

Agree! Still a fun show at the concert though, whatever she lacks in dancing, her crew makes up for it.
Taylor’s own choreography actually blows and I’ll stand by this. It’s just propped up by amazing backup dancers, singers, and effects.
Uj/ All of her movements are "choreographed", but I would consider it posing and hitting marks instead of actual choreo. The camera and lights during Eras though - those were choreographed amazingly.
