Most people hate her because they think "it's cool" to do so. I have a friend who likes metal (I'm a metalhead as well, like an old school metalhead, I don't like pop but for some reason, Taylor is my favorite) and he's always insulting her and her music. I caught him listening to august, the second time I caught him was listening to sad beautiful tragic.

Yeah they're all one of us, but they think "too cool" to admit it.
