Is Taylor Swift really a good lyricist?

[marish01]

They are very conversational like a bunch of an a typical dramatic woman's texts messages with her friends about her ex.

Don't get me wrong I am not a Taylor Swift fan but you can't criticize her for this because that is what a good lyric writer do. People experience similar situations in everyday life but they usually can't realize their feelings but a good artist makes people realize their true feelings and this is what people need to. The thing you criticize is actually the reason why she is world famous because most of people can see themselves in the songs. Artists are not aliens they are humans and they experience everyday situations like us the only difference they can express their feeling/emotions better

Oh my opinion was selected as superb opinion by AI and that is what I deserved with this answer.

Her style of music isn’t what I am into but I can’t knock the girl , she made millions so she definitely has talent and sells out concerts like crazy , so whether she writes her own music or someone else writes it for her , she definitely has talent that people are drawn to , and she isn’t bad looking , she does look sexy at times , she has beautiful legs. I would t say no to her lol

[Nikki1989]

Her music has never kept my interest long enough to take any notice of the quality of her lyrics, which I very much doubt are all hers.

Most of these modern, auto-tuned wannabes usually have a team of writers churning out nonsense material for them.

[marish01]

Her lyrics got worse and worse. She is still tge bitter teenage girl with more emotional baggage than before

[NoDecision]

No, she steals songs, or at least uses their music when she performs.

[Orion84]

I'm not a fan of her music.

Admittedly, I don't listen to her music, and don't know any of her newer stuff, but what I remember of her older stuff just sounded like teenage girl relationship drama.

[marish01]

Now they sound like tjat teenage girl with more drama

[Orion84]

Ugh, I'm real glad I don't listen to her, then.

I mean, I guess she knows her fans, but seriously; she's 35 years old, and still singing about that crap?

[Shiprex]

No she's using a simplistic formulaic method in her songs and what she's actually saying can be put into stereotypical teenage girl "lived" experience.

Good lyrics only need to look to ABBA for their stories in a song.

[AndrésC64]

I couldn't tell you. I couldn't tell you a single one of her songs if my life depended on it. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[zagor]

I find her songs boring. I hadn't heard much of her stuff so one day when I had to drive around to a lot of errands I put on the Taylor Swift channel on Sirius to check it out. I had trouble telling when one song ended and the next started.

[WonderingManII]

I never looked into her songs, because I don't like most pop music. I heard that they are very sexual.

[MikeTheBartender]

Not a huge fan but she definitely has some good songs.

[Grond21]

They ate simple, but she is good at making them catchy

[Grond21]

Are*

[Guanfei]

I don't like her music. And I highly doubt she's writing her own lyrics.

[NathanDavis]

good for her target population, sure...

[slatyb]

I don't know. Lana Del Rey is.

[FunkyMonkee]

Not according to what I've heard about.

[Jennz6]

I wish I could sing 🎶

[Anonymous]

No, she sucks at singing and song writing.

[eagle1951]

yes she is
