I AGREE

Taylor Swift is Amazing and she IS A GENIUS. Great TED talk 

Listen, even if you don't like her music, you have to admit that she's clearly talented and smart enough to have built up such a huge fan base and become as successful as she has. Especially now that she is her own manager and is taking the time and effort to re-record all of her music that she didn't actually own, like. She is building an empire, and she's the one running her own career.

Her storytelling and lyricism are also absolutely incredible, she puts words to emotions I didn't even know I was feeling. And I know for a fact that I'm far from the only one who feels that way.

It doesn't really matter what you think of her music itself, but you can't really deny the effect she has had, both on the world of music and, honestly, the world as a whole. Her fans literally caused an earthquake at one of her concerts. She is on track to break the record of the most successful music tour of all time, by a long shot. She changes her music style with the times, she has written music in a ton of different styles because the same stuff just doesn't stay popular, but the most impressive thing about this is that every style she has written, she's done well. Taylor Swift is the music industry, or at least one of the biggest parts of it, whether you like it or not. And getting to and staying at that point for as long as she has takes genius. 

I don't care if you like her music or not. But you can't truthfully say that she's not a genius. She hasn't just gotten lucky (have you seen the way the media has railed on her in the past? It's bad), she is genuinely talented and smart and has taken the bad situations and flipped them around. As she says in her song New Romantics, "I could build a castle out of all the bricks they threw at me." She has been knocked down again and again and again and every time she has gotten back up, stronger than before. 

I don't care if you don't think her music is genius. But you cannot deny that she is genius.
