Worst album of all time….ever, if I could rate this 0 stars I would . she has stopped writing music for herself and is just writing things for a quick cash grab. The greatest musician is the one whose music is from themselves not from others. Music is supposed to be expressive, you can write music others can relate to but it is an art used for communication that words can’t by themselves describe. So when you stop writing music for yourself you stop showing your emotion and become distant to your own love of music. As a song writer this is the biggest mistake I have made and try never to make it again. Music will not advance if we stop writing music for ourselves. What makes us as humans beautiful even though we are broken people, is are ability to love each other dispute the sins we might commit to each other. Our ability to empathize is our inherent form of understanding and art is our ability to express it whether through language or music etc this is what music is for. I’m not saying Taylor swift never wrote a good song or wasn’t impactful but I am saying she has stopped listening to the ambition or ideals she started this profession with. This is common for a lot of musicians and I’m not saying you have to write super complicated songs or have to write about what you feel in the moment but how you feel towards others and music is just as important as understanding how to make music itself
