I had a question on the B1G board, who is this Taylor Swift person.  Her concert here was "big news" of a sort, I've heard the name, don't know the music at all (I quit listening to any "current" music a long time back.)  (Well, sometimes a fellow will drive by with rap music blaring out of his car, the car shaking and rattling so much it seems about to fall apart, usually a 2003 Honda Civic with loud exhaust and an automatic transmission).

I like Taylor Swift, I saw her in concert at COTA during the Formula 1 US Grand Prix several years back, and she was really impressive live.  A top 10 show all-time for me, and I've seen a LOT of concerts in my lifetime.

So if it has a good beat and you can understand the words its pop music?

Pop is like any other style, there's plenty of good, and plenty of bad.

I love rock music.  But there's a lot of truly awful rock music in the world.

My teenage girl prefers 80s rock and new wave.  My teenage boy is the one that likes all the new pop stuff.  I think it's because of Tick Tock.

Audio only. Before Van Halen ever had a record contract, KISS' Gene Simmons produced this demo and shopped it to his record label, who rejected it. Less than a year later, Warner Bros signed VH. 10 tracks on this demo. "Runnin' With The Devil"...outside of Dave's vocal tracks, the demo sounds like the actual album version. Hard to believe someone rejected that.

Taylor started off as an acoustic guitar style country sounding artist when she was like 15 or so. Wrote a lot of her own stuff, performed it, and really had some catchy to it. "Mean" was one of the first ones I remember being popular.

As she's grown, she's experimented with a lot of styles. Some more workable than others. I still think she's at her best telling stories with her guitar, but she'll do a lot of electronica inspired tunes now.

Of course, it doesn't hurt that she's grown into a modelesque beauty queen.

A lot of her songs were comically about boyfriends breaking up with her.

Yup, I'd always thought of her as a country singer/songwriter.  Then I started listening to her more recent stuff, before that concert at COTA in Austin in 2017 or so, just so I'd be familiar with it.  1989 was the most recent album of hers at the time, and it represented a major departure from her older stuff, but I found it really, really catchy and interesting and enjoyable.  IMO, 1989 is one of the biggest and best albums since the beginning of the 2000s, of any genre, like easily top 5 kind of material there.  It was just a pure blockbuster album.

I haven't loved everything she's done since then, but I've liked more than I haven't, and I'd be happy to go see her again-- if I could get tickets, that is. :)
