Recently, I accidentally admitted to liking Taylor Swift within the earshot of a friend who "likes all genres of music except top 40 bubblegum pop." When he heard me, he said she had "no talent whatsoever."

I think this comment, along with a lot of other hate she gets, is uncalled for. People saying she can't sing, refusing to believe she writes her own songs etc.- basically acting like she has no talent at all. Which isn't true. Just because something's not your taste doesn't mean it's bad. It just means it's not your taste.

-She can sing, I think. I will say that I think her success is more...
