Finally someone who hasn't drunk the T Swift kool aid.

She's the mediocre white girl whisperer. Princess of mid.
I thought that was the entire point? she's the musical equivalent of putting on a show in the background while you do chores in the house. Bland, inoffensive, but recognizable enough.

Mid white women are millions of people in America

He's not wrong.
But like most comedians these days, everything they do revolves around tearing down things that people like.

Bill Burr admitted it when he said he tries to offend both sides of any issue and then sits back and watches the chaos.

That's what all these comedians and guys with podcasts do these days.

It's funny. But it gets tiring very quickly.

Taylor Swift ain't for you. Fine. But this guy benefitted from being white too. He just didn't have parents as rich. So what are you mad about? You're basically in the same Jacuzzi with this bytch.


I can not name a single Taylor Swift song (vaguely aware that one has something to do with snakes and the rest are all about her breakups), and I doubt she's particularly more talented than a hundred other good singers, but this guy is yelling from a glass house.

Leach was raised in London by his cockney engineer father and Romanian drama teacher mother of Aromanian descent.[2] Educated at the John Lyon School for boys in Harrow he obtained a degree from the University of Warwick in English Literature and Theatre Studies. He got a presenting job a BBC Switch show entitled The Surgery on BBC Two.[3] After presenting Scene Stealers for BBC Switch and T in the Park Festival for BBC Three Leach had a stint as presenter of Big Brother's Big Mouth on E4. During 2009–2012 he became the face of Virgin Media and their Music on Demand channel which saw him present each year from V Festival, provide comedy continuity links for all of the content on the channel and interview artists such as Lady Gaga, Example, Kelly Rowland and Professor Green.

So his dad's an engineer, his mom's a drama teacher, they put him in a fancy private school which was followed up by a college degree in theatre, and the only reason he has any acting/comedy career at all is because he started off his life getting set up with a bunch of easy-ass "presenting" gigs that put him in the public eye constantly.

His start in the industry was easier than literally 99.9% of humanity would have it.

Dude was a bit hyperbolic, but there was a ton of truth in his statement. The vast majority of the folks who are amazed by Taylor Swift's success are completely oblivious to how she got started. I have no problem with what he said because for everyone making a similar statement, the there are thousands trying to pour you a glass of T. Swift Koolaid.

Wait until the Taylor Swift / Michael Jackson comparison become more commonplace.

I mean she plays to her audience.

It’s not like she’s getting praised from anyone outside of her demo, her demo is white people in America and there are a lot of them, and she appeals to them because most of them live generic faux hard lives and relish in the plight of a boyfriend not calling back. It’s not rocket science why an average looking and sounding white woman became so popular, she’s a slightly heightened version of most of her demo :yeshrug:

I agree with both these post

Real indicator is going to be how much people are bumping her music after she fell off. Michael, Prince, James Brown, Whitney, Bob Marley, Nirvana, Marvin Gaye, Pac, Queen, David Bowie etc. they all been gone for years and people still bumping their music. How many people are going to bumping Taylor Swift songs 20/30 years down the line or after she's passed? I'd guess nowhere near as many as those folks.

Luck, circumstances, and overt pandering have a ton to do with it though. Our culture is obsessed with the myth of meritocracy and the idea that everything must have a logical reason/cause. But a lot of times, someone is just in the right place at the right time or has the right connections and thus ends up 50x more famous than someone else with the exact same talent who came at the wrong time with the wrong connections.


And when I say overt pandering.....I've read about how Mr. Beast pays people literally millions of dollars to tailor his videos exactly so that they will go viral, purposely manipulating Youtube and search algorithms and pandering to what people will click on and share. I've read how Ed Sheeran and his team spend basically all their energy trying to fit every song to exact formulas that match whatever is popular and everyone will click on and repeat.

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if Taylor Swift and Hov and their teams are basically doing some version of Mr. Beast and Ed Sheeran, making a lot of their moves not out of desire to share a particular message or out of their own creativity and style, but simply fitting someone else's formula. And not everyone wants to do that, nor is it necessarily a good thing. The more that music and other art just becomes addicted to formulas (like sports and movies have), the less true creativity we're going to see.
