why is Taylor Swift so overhyped all the time

[Nicky91]

every song she releases is a song which has most views on YouTube, ugh


i liked Love Story but it soon went downhill for me with Taylor



boring, and if we're talking about country, Martina McBride, Carrie Underwood do a better job at slaying than Taylor but are so underrated :sad:

[RileyH]

imo Martina McBride and Carrie Underwood have about one or two good songs, Taylor has many :love:

wtf, they have multiple good songs, but because Taylor is young, blonde, beautiful she scores better with the youth :fan:

[Nicky91]

Martina, yes she has also covered Elvis's Suspicious Minds, i really loved that cover :amazed:


such a stunning voice she's got

[Withano]

Taylor doesn't make country music anymore though..

[Nicky91]

Taylor doesn't make country music anymore though..

which she was criticized for by other country artists, for going the pop music road :hehe:


i guess Taylor did think, i'm not earning enough money through country music, in easier words she saw $$$ and went poppy princess style :joker:

[Crimson Dynamo]

she has an unlikeable quality

[LukeB]

But she is rich?

[Nicky91]

But she is rich?

yes so, old Nicky would've drooled all over her, but i have my dignity with music ;)

[Crimson Dynamo]

Yeah Luke, thats you told

I agree. The public (or rather Sheeple) now enjoy vanilla artists who are like their best friend or next door neighbours instead of the untouchables we had in the 80's. I mean, back then we legends who constantly put out great material. Prince, MJ, Madonna, George Michael all produced thought proviking quality music and were ofen seen as controversial music Gods. Today we have the exact opposite. Watered down crap produced by non entities idolised by or spoon fed to the lowest common denominator. I sometimes sit and weep at the state of todays artists and their music. We must be really scraping the barrel when braindead scrotes like Justin Bieber is idolised. and then there's Ed Sheeran - the most boring person alive and about as entertaining as beige coloured wallpaper. The only artist I enjoy out of todays dull as dishwater cluster****s is Adele...and even then that's pushing it.

[Saph]

shes not sexy or attractive or anything either, theres like no appeal

It's not that people enjoy vanilla artists. I've been a fan of Taylor's music for many years and will continue to be a supporter. Music is different to what there was in the 80's and 90's etc. Music evolves and changes. I don't agree that music is spoon fed to the lowest at all. I just think you dislike popular music in general.

In answer to the thread, she isn't overhyped etc. I think Bieber, Sheeran and others are very overhyped compared to Taylor. I can't go five bloody minutes without hearing Despacito at the minute.

Agree completely :clap1:

[Littlegreen]

Her lead releases are always over-hyped but the difference with Taylor and many other artists is that Taylor's a genuinely brilliant songwriter and her albums are great examples of that.

The Red album IMO is one of the best pop albums of the last decade.

You have fantastic opinions

Of course music has evolved, but not for the better. If it was better then why do so many people look back on previous decades with fondness and laugh at how awful music's become? Almost every song in the charts these days has a featuring artist with some rapper stuck in the middle of it rapping about cars, hoes and sex. Nothing about it is groundbreaking or revolutionary. Most of what's in the charts seem to have been dumbed down. Of course, we've always have embarrassing songs but this decade seems to have eclipsed all that and got worse.

What you said about me disliking popular music in general is so far from the truth. I think Lana Del Rey is great and so is Lorde... but that's just two examples. Taylor is definitely overhyped right now. You can't browse any website or listen to radio or watch tv without hearing about her. By the time this era is over she'll be more hyped than Ed Sheeran ever was....which basically equates to being spoon fed to the masses and forced to listen to or enjoy something some of us never gave a sh!te about in the first place. Thank f^ck I have my own mind and don't fall in line with everybody else.

I don't really see your point about past eras. I actively listen to 80's and 90's music, and I was born in 97. Yes, every song in the charts isn't for everyone. Also, you can't go anywhere without seeing her? That's because she has literally just released new music after three years away. The exact same happens with ANY new release. It's nothing new. Whenever a artist releases new music, they are everywhere and that's just because mainstream media pick up on it. What's the deal? I don't see why it's suddenly just Taylor who is being "overhyped" when every other artist receives the same treatment when they release new music.

Rihanna wasn't. Neither was Lorde or Lana Del Rey, and I can think of a whole lot more too.

If you really think they had the same level of exposure as Taylor and Ed Sheeran then you're kidding yourself.

[LukeB]

Rihanna was...

[LukeB]

Rihanna - work was everywhere lmao

[Nancy.]

Rihanna was...

No, she wasn't. Not compared to Taylor.

[LukeB]

No, she wasn't. Not compared to Taylor.

Yes she was...... Work was literally EVERYWHERE
Rihanna was everywhere too

[Underscore]

She's good

[caprimint]

It's crazy, when she was at her best she was underrated and now she's overrated

The power of mainstream pop

[Nancy.]

Yes she was...... Work was literally EVERYWHERE
Rihanna was everywhere too

and again, no she wasn't. I didn't hear about "Work" as much as i'm hearing about TS's new song. Nowhere near. and i'm a Rihanna fan.

[LukeB]

no one can deny work was everywhere

everywhere.

Well, I just did...sorry, hon.

FB, Twitter, Snapchat and IG???

Apart from her die hard fans, not a lot of people bother with those, so basically clubs and radio? Never thought she was overplayed on the radio either and I don't go to clubs anymore, so I can't comment.

I never saw article after article or see Rih's video on the music channels like i'm seeing with TS. Literally everywhere.

yes people posting the lyrics and people posting videos of them singing along to it.getting ready/going to the club/at the club

And It may not have been played a lot like despacito but it was a song that was on the radio a lot and you hear it in shops etc :shrug: so yeah the song was everywhere and it deserved to

and Rihanna did have loads of articles at the time most of it was about her 'relationship' with Drake.

[Nicky91]

me starting this discussion :flutter:

[Jarrod]

Nancy just hates Taylor, we get it and it's getting bloody boring now.

Still not on the same level as what i'm seeing with TS. I gave two other examples and neither of them had the same level of exposure as what TS has and you can't say they have.

[Jordan.]

She's the singing embodiment of white girl problems, you've heard one taylor swift song you've heard them all.

Queen Taylor has that impact i guess :hee:

[Nancy.]

No, I don't. I actually have her 1989 album. I just find the the amount of sickly sweet adoration she's receiving way OTT. Anyone would think she's a goddess the way people are carrying on. Not a pop star. :joker:

[Ross.]

She is a goddess though!

[Nancy.]

She is a goddess though!

No, darling. :joker:

[LukeB]

She is a goddess though!

and that's the true tea

[RileyH]

She is a goddess though!

Never heard anything more true :clap1:

[Littlegreen]

For her earlier albums this would be a valid criticism. Her last two though are genuinely brilliant.

[RileyH]

1989 and Red are great albums.
