As an economic force and as a cultural phenomenon, I appreciate her. Clearly she's one of the most driven, determined people American celebrity has, and combines it with street smarts. Her political emergence especially, at a time when she didn't have to say a word, was an inspiring sight to behold. And she's created a community that rivals Harry Potter in size and intensity. At least in America.
As an artist, meh. I think her music is frankly beside the point.
I do get "feels" and "vibes" (as the kids say) from a couple of her simpler songs, and sort of get the grander appeal of the lyrics, especially across time. (There's a reason Nickelback (for example) writes songs for their fans, not for themselves.)
But if you're going to straight-up compare music and artistry. . . I'm going to pick B-level, near-underground British Invasion band The Tremeloes (almost-famous for that one song on the "Rushmore" soundtrack) over Tay-Tay Swift.
But again. Like I said. The music ain't the point. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Old dude mehs music for young women.
Also yells at clouds.
Dude, she is not making it for you. Go back to listening to the Doors on vinyl.
Nah, I'd rather get into arguments about it on the Internet.
After all, I did comment specifically to annoy you, personally. :D
