Taylor Swift is one of the greatest lyricists of all time. 100% disagree? I don't think there's ever been a musical artist who has accurately portrayed what it's like to grow up as a girl from the time she's 12 years old to becoming a woman. Taylor Swift is basically the Bob Dylan of young women.

Wow, w—wow. Yes? I think what you're trying to say—let me man explain this to you. I think what you're trying to say is separate the art from the artist, because she's awful and annoying, but she makes okay music.
