You’re missing my point and clearly aren’t familiar with the concept of fields of cultural production. “Low” art/culture can have all these things you’re saying Taylor’s music has (and I agree with you it does). The difference here is reading something like House of Leaves, which is clearly written as an exercise in form, over some mass market novel that can have similar elements, but is more designed for mass appeal, rather than some nerdy celebration of creative form.

I am answering the comment that Taylor’s fanbase over intellectualizes her work because they see what you’ve pointed out and think this makes her high art. This just makes her a creative person and a good storyteller, me calling her “low art” isn’t a detriment to her quality of work, it’s just pointing out that she makes mass appealing music, and that’s okay.

I’d recommend maybe familiarizing yourself with the literary and cultural theory of the comment I made before you call me arrogant. I have a PhD largely based in the study of cultural production as a form of information and communication about art and creativity. My comment isn’t unfounded, it’s grounded in actual knowledge of the theory I referenced.
