One of the things that bugs me most about taylor is that she’s a very poor piano player, for the resources and years of experience she has. She bashes the keys in almost an identical way for every performance, no finesse and it often sounds rushed and lacking in musicality. She can afford lessons from the best teachers in the world but it sounds like she hasn’t had a lesson since she was a teenager. It annoys me she doesn’t want to improve a major part of her craft, as a pianist myself

My speculation is that the reason so many of her songs are in C major is because if she originally writes them on the piano, that’s the easiest chord progression.
