I still can neither name nor think I've ever heard a Taylor Swift song...  Yet, somehow, she's a billionaire.  Right. 🤷‍♂️

She plays the modern equivalent of 'bubble gum' music. IMO she is a good entertainer, decent singer/musician, but more importantly, she has great marketing. Sadly, that's really what it takes.

I don't listen to her for recreation, the songs are too simple to tickle my brain. But then, when I was a kid, I listened to a lot of music that bores me now.

Of course, I'm jealous, my wife is a better singer than Taylor is, but she wasn't in the right place, at the right time, and didn't know the right people. The lucky ones know the right people at the right time.

(Today is International Talk Like A Pirate Day!)

More accurately, it is Talk Like Robert Newton Day.

He gave Long John Silver a West Country accent in the film of Treasure Island and so that's the accent people associate with pirates, whereas in reality they came from all over the place and spoke with many different accents.
