      Her father, Scott Swift, was a stockbroker for Merrill Lynch and notably purchased a 3% stake in Big Machine Records, the label that first signed Taylor, contributing to her initial success.

      Like all billionaires she inherited everything.

    I was sharing music with a friend and their reaction upon being shown an artist (not even listening) was "ew less than 100k monthly listens”

    bro? is this your metric for good music ? how many people listen to it on Spotify ?

    if this is how avg ppl see music it explains a lot about top 40 charts

      It’s sadly a very common thing and applies to just about everything. “It’s not popular so it’s automatically bad”, I’m just glad I’m not forced to be around people like that too often.

        My mother in law used to refuse to eat in an empty or nearly empty restaurant. On the logic that if it’s empty it must be bad. Never mind that the reason a restaurant is empty often has more to do with location than quality, or that it’s packed for dinner and empty at lunch or vice versa.

          Wild, I refuse to go to packed restaurants because my experience will be markedly worse… my favorite time is between 2-4, because everywhere is dead then.

          To each their own, I guess.

        Oddly enough, I’m on the opposite side. Popularity ruins good things. I’m probably just bitter and cynical though. And that’s also not to say that there aren’t things with massive popularity that are also good.

      You could make an argument that if a song is listened a lot, it means a lot of people find it good and thus is could not be bad. But then again, Suicide Squad was a successful movie if you were to base your judgement on popularity.

      Which is supposed to be the better album?

      I don’t listen to either artist and don’t care for either of them from what I’ve heard on the radio and at malls so I’m not the best person to judge. I’m curious what your thoughts are though (and what the general consensus is).

        I mean It is just a matter of opinion if course, but I think the common consensus was that this was not Taylor’s greatest work, and Manchild is one of if not Sabrina Carpenter’s biggest song right now.

        I personally was never the biggest fan of modern pop music but it’s been starting to grow on me.

          Ah, good to know, thanks. Not sure I’ll ever need the info but I’m always curious on what’s popular, even if it’s not something I’m interested in. I know of both artists but don’t know much music from either and don’t care to. But it’s cool to see what’s seen as better or worse by the general fanbase.
