    So she’s mastered Air Music, Water Music, Earth Music and Fire Music? She might be ready to take on the Fire Music Lord.

      Not a musician, so honest question. Is her music actually bad from a theory perspective? I mean its unlikely to be ground breaking. But for pop, my assumption would be that it’s more towards the upper end.

          I know next to nothing about what actually make good music but man the moment I had access to music outside of the local radio stations I was blown away by how good music could actually be.

          especially drums, idk if I could ever learn how to play them but it’s easily my favorite part to listen to when they’re done well

        I found some of the synth stuff going on in the background was pretty cool when my ex was listening to it. And as much as people love to hate her, she does have some catchy shit.

      Even as a non-pop music hater I can’t imagine going to a drumming class and wanting to play that all the time, it’s just not a drum centric genre. Very few pop songs have prominent or interesting percussion.

      I would imagine a drum class would be full of metal, jazz, punk, funk, etc. fans.

      Isn’t starting out with easy songs good? There’s a reason why every guitarist knows to play Wonderwall. I think it’s just a consequence of teaching that you don’t do complex stuff. The students that are able to do complex stuff probably teach themselves at that point.

      I honestly don’t know if I’ve ever heard a Taylor Swift song in my life. But, let me take a guess.

      1. Pop. I’m pretty sure she’s a pop singer. I get the impression her fans are mostly young girls, so that’s probably her core demographic.
      2. “Modern Country”, a.k.a. “country-pop”. She just seems like the type who would do a pop song but add a bit of twang, a bit of acoustic guitar, and voila, she’s mastered “country”.
      3. Hip-hop. I wouldn’t be surprised if she released some so-called “hip hop”. I really doubt she’s be the one rapping, but someone that famous can probably just do a collaboration with a rapper, and sing while they rap. Just adjust the beats a bit, throw in a turntable (or a turntable-type sample), and you’ve mastered hip-hop. Unless… hmm… maybe her fan base is so white that she’s afraid of offending them even with extremely mild hip-hop. In that case, category 3 could be “Rock”, i.e. pop but with a bit more of an edge.
      4. Hmm, this is a harder one. There are so many other genres of music, which one would be “the only other remaining genre” according to a fan? Probably not something too foreign, so not K-Pop or Latin. Probably nothing too old because her fans are so young, so no Jazz, Blues or Classical. It probably comes down to “Rock” or “Dance”. I’m gonna go with Dance. It’s pretty easy to take a female vocalist and emphasize the rhythm, focus on electronic instruments, etc.

      Far from actually mastering “all 4 genres of music”, my guess is that almost everything she plays is in 4/4, with maybe an occasional 3/4, and that it’s almost always in a major key. How did I do?

        I don’t know much about genres, but I do know she started as a country artist and pivoted to pop later.

            She’s probably had some songs which crossed into Western, so all she had to do was pump out one grindcore track to get all four.

    ITT: people jerking off so hard about Taylor Swift being shit they miss the avatar reference with the covers probably being Water, Fire, Earth and Air. And she’s not even shit. Maybe the stuff that makes it to the radio idk i don’t listen to radio but tortured poets department is good for certain moods and so are probably her other albums. It’s no longer school (at least i hope so) and you don’t have to hate pop just out of principle. While not in the same playlist you can listen to Dream Theatre, Ayreon, Taylor Swift and Olivia Rodrigo

    Give away her wealth in an effort to curb the devastation of climate change.

    Edit: imagine how much she could lobby in Congress. She could change legislation for the next decade. But she doesn’t. No billionaire does.
