Reasons Why Taylor Swift Is Overrated

I don't really like Taylor Swift. Her music is fine, but I think she gets too much credit for what she really is and what she really does
The Top Ten
1 She always disses her exes and dissed once critics

She sings songs about exes like it is cool. It's not. If you think about it every song is the same. Someone broke up with her and she wrote a song about so everyone can know the guy is a jerk. But she probably writes the songs because they mask the fact that she hasn't held many long relationships and that the guys break up with HER. Her voice is terrible because she has a very bad range and can't hit any high notes. Sorry Taylor, but I think you and I both know you use autotune.

She thinks earning a living from dissing her exes is cool and okay like hell no please get a life there are so many people in need of money nowadays and she can easily obtain it from writing absurd autotune songs. At least make some songs that has actual quality!

I have said this many times. Not once has Taylor considered whether the guy was able to defend himself or if he even wanted everyone knowing his business. It really isn't hard to see why she can't have a relationship she socially is about the age of 11. All she does is whine.

2 She uses a lot of autotune

She can't sing. Plain and simple. I once heard her sing an entire song being completely flat live. Granted, it wasn't her own song, cause she simplifies the notes in her own song so she can sing them and then sings the lower harmony if there is anything too high for her. When she sang 'Bleeding Love' with Leona Lewis, it was almost too sad. Someone like Leona who is clearly more talented and also writes her own music is easily passed by for someone with no vocal talent like Taylor Swift.

She can't hold a note to save her life. Her voice is almost always shaky. I'm not gonna be one of those that say she isn't good for anything in this industry. I think that she would have been an okay lyricist. Not a singer. Definitely not a singer.

Her concerts are all autotuned. Hey, not all, what am I saying? Half the concert is spent with her talking about how great she is and how many people love her (and if you don't, be warned, she'll write a song on you, so you better love her).

Pretty much every singer uses autotune and its not necessarily a bad thing unless you lie and say you didn’t use autotune. I still don’t like Taylor Swift in my opinion.. but I don’t think she ever lied about using autotune. Plus, a singers job IS to make good music, so that means including autotune. Also the music industry may force autotune, since that is part of the contract.

3 She isn't that great of a role model

She is an AMAZING role model! She has supported rights for women, the LGBTQ+ community and many other worthy causes many times. If you have a problem with that. then you have more problems. On numerous occasions she has been extremely kind and shown to stand up to haters (like you) and bullying. Also, if you need more proof watch her music video for You Need To Calm Down (which you kind of do).

I kind of feel sometimes like she's a fake. Sure, she donates but she can't take criticism. With that whole Katy Perry thing, which SHE clearly started Katy has been really calm, while Taylor is being over dramatic.

Honestly, I feel like a lot of what she does is for attention, even if she isn't like Miley Cyrus. She breaks up with a lot of people, and writes songs about it to make it seem like she's the victim.
So overall, even though it's a good thing she donates and doesn't do sex or drugs(that we know of) she is still no more of a role model.

I totally agree with this. I mean, she always disses her exes in her songs (which is quite pathetic, since she's like, 26 now? ) and makes girls have unrealistic expectations in relationships making them think that they are "prince charmings" out there, when in reality, they do not exist. It's very annoying. The same thing goes to her too. Wake up Taylor; they are no perfect guys out there. So quit thinking that there is.

Mean clearly states that people can't change. If your mean now, no matter why your going to be mean your entire life.

Blank Space is about how all guys are jerks and we should just stop hoping because we'll never find the right guy.

I Knew You Were Trouble is about how she knew there was going to be problems but she went for it.

See? Do you still think she's a role model?

4 She is full of herself

Such a great role model. Donate just so you can get the self-promotion and everybody will like you and your terrible highly auto-tuned songs. Taylor, if you are going to donate, do it for a good reason. But you probably are too busy recording terrible songs and spending your millions of dollars than to bother being nice for once. I'm sure your fans are dwindling but you produce one terrible song after another.

When she donates she makes sure to make it a whole publicity stunt so that people know she did it and how great she is. Plus she's been rolling in cash since before she was born, so throwing money at things doesn't dent her bank account. And all stars are expected to have some sort of philanthropic aspect to them, again it's just good PR is all. Don't be delusional.

I love the bit where the person wrote that Taylor donates to people in need. Taylor does this only when it serves her purpose. It's self promotion no a true intention of helping!

She takes her music off Spotify because she doesn't make money from it when she is the top selling artist of the past few years.. as if she doesn't have enough income as is.

5 Her songs are always the same

They're not! She has so many beautifully unique songs! I don't think you should even by saying that if you haven't heard all her music. Even when you look at her albums you see how Debut was VERY country, 1989 was as pop as it gets, and Folklore was a beautiful alternative folk indie style. In conclusion, her music is SO unique!

Yes, it always poor Taylor someone is being mean to me. Victims of the World unite. Once again Taylor has attacked many a guy who never told his side because he had too much integrity to do what Taylor does but yet everyone jumps on the band wagon that poor Taylor has been done wrong. I am so glad she is out of country music!

According to a recent poll, about 70% of people find her very boring, another 15% sort of boring. True. Boring tunes about boring matters. They are not even that catchy...

But she has the Republican T.V. and media establishment behind her: they prefer the new generation to value boring songs (often bitchy and vengeful) than to be aware of real social issues.

She is a 'stopper' to avoid making young people aware of what really matters. All that crap on 'my best friend' (who I am ready to shade and pour crap on as soon as she doesn't answer my texts)... Superficial, boring, calculating, hypocritical, at the service of an establishment that does not want teenagers to grow up and find out that the world is not crap because your best friend didn't come to your birthday party, but because there's injustice, inequality and ignorance of these is promoted through puppets like her.

I'm a parent; I want my children to grow up, to become aware of the world and fight to cjange ...more

This really annoys me to be honest. She always sings about love and break ups. I mean, I get that she wants to express herself or whatever, but overdoing that can get quite annoying. Please sing about something else for once.

6 She isn't the most beautiful female singer

So? What's your point? It doesn't matter if she's the most beautiful singer or not. You can have your opinions, but I think attacking a singer because of their looks is disgusting.

I can't belive she's number 1 at the list of "most beautiful female singers". I mean, there is a lot of singers that are far more atractive than her

If we're going to insult her, we should be able to do it sufficiently without bringing up her looks. That's low.

Whoever voted on this is the same type of tweenies that made Twilight a big hit. Sheep with no will of their own!

7 She has an annoying fanbase

Not all of us are haters. I expect music artist to actually be able to sing and I mean sing exceptionally. To me her voice is mediocre and I just don't like her music. I'm being honest not hating. Her fans should not call everyone haters because some of us do not have hate just because we don't have a particular taste for her music. They brag far to much and she is no more exceptional than many other people. She is not perfect. No human being is, Sorry! That's what gets her fans into trouble anyway shoving her down people's throat. Not everyone has to like her music and people are not "awful people" if they don't care for her music. Her fans can be very rude to others and their music taste.

I don't like or hate her music, I hardly listen to it unless it is being played in the store I am shopping in. But I am so SICK and TIRED of hearing people just dying to bring her up in conversation and then going on and on about how great of a human being she is and should be a role model to everyone.

It's really unfair how they swear at me and say I have no taste in music I'm 10 people I like people like Katy perry pink Avril lavinge and adele they are good singers/songwriters not taylor who can't think of anything to write about except boys

Her fanbase is quite honestly insane. Reflects badly on her, even if she herself is level headed. But her fans would have you thinking she's the next incarnation of Jesus

8 She can't act

I saw her on a episode of CSI. She sucked.

She makes Kristen Stewart look like a genius!

She was awful! Not natural at all!

In my opinion, she's an amazing actor!

9 Her style is boring

This ENTIRE list is SO dumb. Her style is not boring! It's one of the best musical styles in my opinion. You can like others, but I think hers is amazing and you shouldn't go attacking her for it.

I understand that country pop is not for everyone. And I also know people are going to say "oh she's an obsessed fan" but she has these awards and this money for a reason. Maybe not for you, but for other girls, her music helps you cope, or maybe, it's just their opinion and they like it so they are SICK OF PEOPLE CRITICISING HER!

I would no longer put Taylor in the country style any longer and believe me Nashville is glad. At last years awards a comment was made that was a goodbye to Taylor Swift from Nashville.

Opinion! And how does that make her overrated? A lot of pop/country singers are VERY underrated! And this is irrelevant, this list is a scam and it's dumb!

10 She can't hit high notes

Ariana Grande needs to yell to reach high notes as well and she depends on belting notes! But yeah, let's be grateful that she doesn't try hitting high notes.

Thank God she doesn't try it's bad enough listening to her regular voice.

She needs to yell to reach them and she isn't belting notes at all

The Contenders
11 She wins awards that she shouldn't

Way too many awards. She should win an equal amount of awards just like the others. Skillet, Katy Perry and others have like the same amount of awards. While Taylor Swift has an award closet (yes, that was a SpongeBob reference). Why doesn't Porter Robinson or Casey Lee Williams have one? They have better songs and should win an award. Taylor Swift should win awards, but not THAT much. The Taylor Swift winning thing is officially rigged.

Society is unfair. Why did Taylor Swift win so many awards, especially at Grammy?! What! Are you kidding me? She hasn't enough talent to win for these awards. Listen her voice carefully. Her screaming parts sound like a crash. She sings only easy songs and anyone can beat and sing her songs. She is a fake snake!

Kanye West was rude, but completely right. And how she won over Kendrick Lamar, who has music that actually means something and isn't the same every time, baffles me.

I agree singing songs about break ups is not that cool. How many Grammys does she have 2. Those are not Grammys she should have won with crappy music and bad voice.

12 Everyone praises her like a queen.

Why is she getting so much unreasonable hate on here? People praise her because she's actually good. Also, don't attack a singer just because she's 'not as good' as YOUR favorites love them, but DON'T attack her. Also, she is not petty, she is not fake, and what is WRONG with being a feminist?

I agree Taylor makes songs with horrible meanings and gets praised for making up a story for why she is a victim. Adele, Little Mix, and Demi Lovato are people who can sing high notes and make good music but are underrated. It sucks knowing an artist with a voice that always stays at one note can be a popstar.

There are many talented artist out there who can actually hit high notes and sing powerfully, yet they get overrunned by constant irrelivant articles and posts about Taylor. I get it, she IS talented, but people praise her WAY too much.

Kids and teenagers are CRAZY about her, she can't even sing.

13 She always plays the victim

Her exes are the ones we should feel sorry for.

14 She's called one of the greatest singers ever when Chad Kroger from Nickelback can singer higher notes than she can

This is true by the way

15 Her songs are nothing to write home about

I have been a professional in the music industry for a very long time; from teaching music instruction to producing commercial songs for record labels. And believe me, Taylor is nothing to write home about, as well as many many other artists out on the market these days. But I still have hope that one day, an artist in our industry will reach far above and beyond the Mediocrity and become a music legend as we have had in the past.

16 Her vocals in live performances are awful

Have you even SEEN any of her live performances? Shake it Off? DON'T BLAME ME? She has AMAZING vocals in so many of her performances! Maybe you should actually KNOW what you're saying before you say it and attack someone over it.

When she sings her voice shakes and most of the time you hear just autotune. Sound of her voice is also not interesting sometimes its even annoying.

Really... It is expected from a singer using autotune every time

Her high notes are terrible, they are always too flat/sharp. she is a singer but she can't sing #nohatejustfact

17 She's a fake

Absolutely! I'm not sure if Taylor knows what being sincere is any longer!

18 She is a feminist

When Nicki Minaj pointed out that white singers get more credit than other races, Taylor took it personal when it wasn't even about her specifically in the first place.

19 She brainwashes little girls

She does it too much

20 She is petty

She likes being rolled up when she doesn't even know what is being actually pretty! It's fom the soul! But nope, there she's got only envy and false accusations! She ain't pretty! Its no use 'being' pretty when she's actually a Plastic! #GoTaylorGoJoinReginaGeorge! She's completely fake n nasty! Ha! Take this woman!

21 Too many boyfriends

She had too many boyfriends but lets be honest at least half of them were just pr stunts. She makes money from writing songs about them so that is why she had som many "boyfriends" She needs someone new for every new album and she knows people are more interested in songs about someone they know that is why every boyfriend she ever had was famous guy. She needs to be in the news with her new famous boyfriend so there are paparazzi with them almost everywhere taking pictures of them holding hands and etc. I don't know who wants to be followed by them when they want to spend free time with their partner. Obviously Taylor because it is not her free time but her job. I don't understand who is still buying it.

Seriously. People only focus on how many SHE'S had because she makes (amazing) songs about them but most celebrities you'll find have had a TON of bf/gf's and NO ONE cares about them.

She changes boyfriends more than her earrings

I wear same earring all the time

22 She has some sort of evil glare

She has evil glare when she wants to look hot and confident but she looks mean and looks like she thinks she is better then anyone else.

The glare is just her face and she tried to be pretty and sexy but she isn't.

23 She is a slut
24 She has no rear end

It just makes it even more annoying to see her and how people pump her up to be this "beautiful" girl when she turns around and there's nothing back there to appreciase but her high waisted shorts.

25 She's the popular girl of the music industry

Everyone's her best friend and it kinda distracts people from the music. The video for Bad Blood was basically showing off how many friends she has. And when these people fall out with her, she will diss them and make everyone hate them until the end of time.
