Taylor Swift’s tunes aren’t empowering, they’re whiny & drab – I’m sick of this ‘writing about your ex’ drivel

SHE’S named her latest album The Tortured Poets Department but Taylor Swift has created this insufferable Tortured Parents Society – and I’m one who refuses to add a single digit to the one billion times her latest album was streamed on Spotify in just a week. The reason? Folk like me are getting sick and tired of all this well-trodden ‘writing-about-your-ex’ trope, and all her songs sound exactly the same. Hannah Verdier has had enough of Taylor Swift’s breakup songs Recent barbed comments about the US megastar are, without a single doubt, music to my Tay-tortured ears and I have never been more hopeful that the tide is turning. When Pet Shop Boys front man Neil Tennant, a bloke with 40 years of bangers in his back pocket, had the gall to describe her music as “disappointing”, it felt like an awakening. Finally, real truths have been spoken by a man with true talent but, of course, and predictably, the Swifties piled on. The backlash on social media includes comments such as: “another ‘who’ speaking on the GOAT” , along with a reminder of Blank Space, Shake It off, Love Story… Greatest Of All Time? – more like Generic Old Album Time. Meanwhile, Denise Welch of Loose Women fame took a veiled swipe at Taylor, remarking: “I wasn’t aware she had an album out at all,” as she laughed through gritted teeth. “I wish her all the best.” Which mum wouldn’t come out fighting for her boy? It is, and I’m talking to the uneducated non-Swifites here, Denise’s son Matty Healy who T-Swizzle disses for his stature on The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived. Taylor cashing in on her ex’s flaws is, as her own song goes and her latest album shrieks, Nothing New.
