Question about Taylor Swift...

I'm well aware of her, because it's Taylor this and Taylor that all the time on the media, but I can't say I've ever heard her sing. I probably have without knowing it. Most songs on the radio, I don't associate with any faces or groups, unless they're from the 70s. I have wondered if she was a rock singer or country and western. She looks like she could pass in either category.
 

I've heard of several people mentioned here however since all our kids grew up I have not been familiar with any of them.
 

There is much media saturation of Taylor Swift---TV, printed media, etc. Gigantic sales figures.

I listened to some music. It's good and competent. But with regard to real remarkable talent, I don't see it.

What I *do* see, however, is that she is very photogenic and has a "look" that the camera loves.She is a recognizable brand.

I'm not saying that she's not talented, but certainly not to any remarkable level. She is, therefore, mainly a media creation.

My opinion, only.

What's yours?
I'm not a music critic so can't speak to serious talent, but it doesn't matter in the end, to the individual; I have several of her songs on my Spotify list.
 
When she first hit the spot light I thought there's no way she has staying power. To me it's like she talks her way thru songs, not really showing any vocal range or talent.

Guess she showed me, people love her and she is an absolute mega star, and I'm still a clueless old guy.
Not a Mega star here....
