Ask Lemmy

i am sick and tired of this misogynistic bile. i do not write this comment for your sake commenter, but for the sake of anyone who might be swayed by your bullshit rhetoric.

let’s break this down:

“sHe ReAlLy only PlAys ThE GUitaR” you can’t even get that factoid right. Taylor Swift plays at least four instruments.

“she doesn’t write her songs herself and the ones she does write are mutually agreed to be the worst”—

outright false:

Many critics selected "Dear John" [on which Swift is credited as the sole songwriter] as Speak Now's best song for its production and emotional impact. Such critics include Jon Caramanica in The New York Times (lauding the blues production for expanding beyond Swift's country-music comfort zone),[15] Mikael Wood in Spin (saying it was "epic pop-country poetry"),[17] and Willman in The Hollywood Reporter (underscoring the "chills-inducing climax"). wikipedia

too late for you? Our Song (2006, written solely by Swift) was one of the "Award-Winning Songs" at the 2008 BMI Country Awards, which honors the year's best songwriters.[35] It featured on Rolling Stone's 2019 list of the best female country songs from 2000.[36]

“Jack Antonoff does the heavy lifting” Antonoff is a FUCKING incredible artist and I do not deny that, but who sings the songs with a critically acclaimed voice? who performs the music live to meticulous, hours-long choreography? spoiler: not Antonoff, buddy! you might be shocked to hear it was a woman.

Next time you want to just lie on the internet maybe ar least try to find some supporting evidence instead of making empty assertions like a freshman in high school. Like damn. 🗿
