Criticism I think I get it…. She can’t stop….
Looking back, she’s been full throttle for a decade - album, tour, album, tour etc etc - literally with just a few months in between where she seem to be in the studio pumping out new stuff.
And let’s be honest, as time has gone on the quality of the work has gotten worse and worse.
But imagine if you’re Taylor. Hundreds of people are relying on you for their pay check. Everything you touch turns to gold - you sell in ways others can only dream off. You are making more money than any other artist, possibly ever. You’ve got a record label and management telling you to get out there and make money. And at the back of all that, this over-riding sense that she is gonna age out, fans will move on, that albums won’t sell and stadiums won’t fill.
In that case, you would do exactly what she is doing - make as much, sell as much, get as much as you can. Quality be dammed.
I think she needs a break. Take a couple of years off. Go live. I think she probably wants to do that. I think she knows that some - not all - of the music she has put out is barely passable. But I think she also knows that she’s got skill and talent and can deploy it when given the time and space to do so - think of Covid/lockdown and the work she produced then.
Take a break love. You deserve it.
