Taylor Swift I’m not a fan but I can’t deny her kindness and how good she is with her fans .

What in sweet Jesus’ name

I just knew somebody already mentioned Demi. I mean I try to keep an open mind about everyone but she lost me at that alien $h1t. I was convinced she had totally lost it.

I know it may seem weird at the first glance to simultaneously respect and hate an artist, but I'm 99.9% sure we all have this kind of artist.

For me, it's gotta be Ms. Taylor Swift. I admire her business sense and how clever she is to maximize her profit and chart success, but, at the same time, I dislike it as it seems so forced. I came to that conclusion after listening to Karma Remix with Pumpki... I mean Ice Spice. The combination of them two seems so random to me and despite Taylor claiming she had been working on that remix with Ice WAAAAAYYYYY before she hit it big on the charts, i don't really believe it. Furthermore, I'm amazed by how well she taps into the current trends and how she manages to retain her artistic identity within them, but, once again, it annoys me like hell at the same and makes her look desperate in my eyes.

So tell me your artist(s) that you simultaneously respect and hate and why. I'm curious to read your opinions.

As for me, it's Taylor Swift. I like her because her songs are great to play and listen to. They are a good background music to an adventure, an event, a trip, a wedding, etc. But I somehow don't like her because she thrives on people's emotions and act like it's genuine. She seems like a high-functional narcissist to me. She's in for a cause but something tells me that it's all superficial, if not for business. There are a lot of behavioral patterns that tell she is, including the victim playing, the being defensive, the non-association with a nobody in the industry unless she needs it for the image she wanted at the time, and finally, when the song anti-hero gave it away.

Thank God you used her proper pronouns, not her stupid made up pronouns

PS I agree Demi is very problematic (and attention seeking). She’s like a less successful version of Miley.

She uses both pronouns so don't think it's fair to say "made up". She identifies as non-binary and seems to shift between she/her and they/them. 

[OutofKontrol]

Rihanna- love her music--but shes such a horrible performer.

Swift, P!nk, Harry Styles, Shawn Mendes, Jonas Brothers, Carrie Underwood come to mind.

No, she ended with that narrative, and now is she "again" a woman

She flopped hard in music and no matter as non-binary or as a woman

Maybe that "non-binary" wasn't trendy anymore for her, so she went back to "her" when she saw that it wouldn't save her career

Well if you check her Insta bio it says her pronouns are she/her and they/them

Still, she "figured it out" in such a weird way that I don't really buy it

"Changing" gender according to how one sleeps is really enough.

@DiamondCircus what do you think?
