New Taylor Swift is what I’ll be listening to in the car this morning. Anyone else?
No, thank you.
I don't get it either. It's obviously a phenomenon, but not one I like by any means.
You don’t have a 12 yr old daughter.

I’m not a Taylor Swift fan by any means,but I’ve seen her on talk shows and she always comes off as being really smart. I had to see for myself,so I went to see her movie and came away blown away by how immensely talented she is,and how hard she works. Everything that’s happened to her/for her is well deserved in my opinion. She got robbed by her record company or manager like so many musicians do,so she re-recorded everything. My hats off to her,even though I cringe at the thought of listening to her music.

I'm in a similar spot as Matt with a daughter who is a fan.
I'm personally stoked to see a new generation getting excited about going to record stores, standing in line before doors open and buying physical media.Taylor Swift is a prime gateway drug for other awesome female artists like Stevie Nick's, Chrissie Hynde, Debbie Harry etc....
-
I’m in the same boat. Really can’t stand her music, but she’s pretty badass. If I had kids, I could think of a lot worse bands/artists for them to be into.

I’ve had very limited exposure to her music and felt underwhelmed with what I’ve heard. I know she’s very popular, but It's not my taste of music.

@Matt - i have a 14yr old daughter, so i'm in the know. and as you said, i can imagine far worse music choices for her.

In this time of completely vacuous trash, “meh” is a huge win for your kid’s preferences.

I think this is an awesome perspective
-
One thing I’ve started doing is building shared playlists (Spotify family) with each kid and sprinkling in stuff I think they’d like that they might not find on their own. My son turns 13 this week and he loves TS but I’ve got him listening to The Beths, Soccer Mommy and Phoebe Bridgers this way.

@SKT I was just listening to Soccer Mommy this morning. So much cool, fun guitar shit on Color Theory.
-
@popvulture oh yeah…great record!
