re: #24 Charles Johnson

Watched Taylor Swift’s Tiny Desk concert and I’m sorry but I still don’t get why people think she’s great. When she plays her songs solo with just an acoustic guitar they sound even worse.

I’m sorry. I know this is unpopular, but she’s terrible.

That’s because you judge musicians solely by the quality of their music.

She’s a marketing wizard, a fashion prodigy, and she practically invented modern fan engagement social media methods. If a college professor wanted to teach a Taylor Swift course, the music department would sneer but the business school would accept a Tay-Tay case study as a legitimate MBA dissertation.
