    While many have praised the upbeat bops on “The Life of a Showgirl,” others have said the tracks lack the kind of lyricism they have come to expect of Swift.

    Ah yes, the “lyricism” of modern-day poet Taylor Swift. Who could forget such classic works as “haters gonna hate hate hate hate hate” and “she wears short skirts, I wear T-shirts”. Shes basically Chaucer and Keats combined, but even better

      It seems to me like you just gonna hate hate hate/s

      Jokes aside. Yes it is bland repetitive pop and her fans are weirdly parasocial, but with entertainment, I think there is no point in arguing, and one just has to let people enjoy what they enjoy

        I take no issue with people enjoying it, I just think complaining that her lyricism is waining is like complaining that water doesnt taste like it used to. Expecting lyrical prowess from someone famous for writing bland pop lyrics is like expecting a zebra not to have stripes

      They don’t say she is a good poet, they say that the last album’s texts are worse than they expected according to their previous experience with T.Swift.

      Billionaires are bad not because they’re billionaires but because most of them become billionaires by exploiting the workers.

      I don’t think Swift’s money come from underpaid workers

          Do you have any reason to believe that they get significantly less salary than the median on the market? And that difference is enough to make billions?
