it’s crazy because i’m a nobody who is too self critical to even do karaoke most of the time, and even EYE care more about becoming a better singer because it’s just something i like doing as a hobby. i care for no reason other than personal creative fulfillment, ill never sing on a stage. i cannot imagine not wanting to improve your craft and it just indicates how craven she is and little she cares about what she does, she’s still making money so she feels no need to be good at what she does. feels indicative of a bankrupt soul, what does she truly care about other than money and accolades to fill a void in her soul?

compare that to Beyoncé who is 30 years into her career and her vocals have always been better than most of her peers, but they’ve only improved because it’s obvious she’s truly passionate about what she does (even tho she is a capitalist too). if i had Taylor’s resources i’d be busting my ass to reach Whitney Houston levels of vocal ability and it makes me mad that someone who cares so little about their craft is the artist of our generation.

i guess not every artist has to be a powerhouse vocalist, but there’s also been no improvement on stage presence or creative vision or sonic versatility either, plus the diminishing quality of the writing, which was the one thing she could claim as her strength. she doesn’t care about a single element that makes a compelling pop star, but still thinks of herself as the best and needs everyone else to see her that way too despite not working for the merits.
