I’ve just read through the replies and it’s not a joke, which makes it actually funny!
Painful reading. I genuinely like Taylor Swift's recent albums- everything after she stopped letting the record label turn everything she did into shitty synth pop is very good. But even her best stuff, lyrically speaking, doesn't hold a candle to anything you'd find on any Dylan, Arctic Monkeys, Counting Crows, Weakerthans, Joni Mitchell, Springsteen or Frightened Rabbit record (or countless others). And all but one of those guys are still very much living last time I checked.
