People know that listening to music supports the creator, and they don't like supporting shitty people. There's tons of people making really good music, so you can satisfy both the desire to enjoy good music and support good people.

I don’t listen to a lot of her music, but the stuff I have heard was good enough.

Yeah, that's about where I am with it as well. After the umpteenth time someone was like, "No! It's genius! You haven't given it a chance!" I listened to a handful of what they said were her top picks. And yeah, it's not bad. In fact there's a lot to like about it: incredibly good production, use of all the things that make a song interesting (varied tempo and use of speeds, chord changes, dynamic volume, etc) but beyond that I found it kind of meh, maybe even just a tiny bit formulaic, and they started to blend on me.

And they all sound like Taylor Swift, which is objectively NOT a bad thing for an artist to create, but compare and contrast artists and bands that evolve so much they constantly have songs and albums that don't sound like themselves, not just over time but from one album to the next. This is my own preference and taste, and I think I got it from listening to a lot of jazz and/or jazz-inspired music created by musicians that take every limit and push it just a hair farther or in a different direction than expected.

No shade to Taylor fans at all, and I mean no disrespect. It's NOT bad music. I'm even a tiny bit jealous they have the fan community that they do because it sounds like a lot of fun. But the music just doesn't appeal much to me.

Her look, stage show, music is all the efforts of many people in a large, profitable corporation.

Every notice how female singers need to look like fashion models??

Thats just because you haven't heard the 100 better musicians who's daddy couldn't buy them into the business.

People whose only exposure to her music is the radio hits and people who were never a teenage girl are the ones complaining about her music. If you don't get it, that's fine. Its not for you. It's not for me.

Lady Gaga has done the same thing yet gets a fraction of the hate. Radio bangers fund the real artist.

For real. The sanctimonious bullshit of Lemmy is probably the worst part. Who cares if people like her music?

Honestly, the majority of famous musicians aren't that good of people. Shit, even Mozart and Beethoven were dicks.

Some separation of the music and the artists is needed.

People also love to hate famous people just because they're famous. Which is stupid and a waste of energy.
