We've reached peak Swift! MAUREEN CALLAHAN slams Taylor as a money-grabbing, narcissistic, wannabe poetess, and says this intellectually stunted, clichéd new album commits the worst sin of all: it's utterly boring
A global marketplace carpet-bombed by Taylor Swift must now endure another album, another promotional cycle, another round of score-settling with ex-lovers...
Swift has been making music since 2006, but in all that time, she has not grown beyond a few, very myopic subjects: Famous ex-boyfriends (almost always terrible), her own victimization — for such a powerful woman, she's never at fault, never an architect of her own misery — and middle-school mean-girl stuff, with Kim K her head nemesis. It's an adolescent's idea of deep thoughts, the cover art equally cringe: Taylor in her underwear, writhing, one arm around her breasts and a hand above her crotch, as if this connotes — finally! While American press remains far too timid, NME gave 'TTPD' three out of five stars, calling it 'devoid of any noticeable stylistic shift or evolution', with laughable lyrics about Charlie Puth and 'a tattooed Golden Retriever'.
