The Swift Death of Democracy

I’ve been suspicious of Taylor Swift’s popularity for some time now. Don’t get me wrong: She can certainly “belt a tune,” as they say. But one can only poeticise heartbreak so many times before my sympathy begins to dry up like a Cruel Summer. (Haha!) And she certainly won’t be revolutionizing musical theory anytime soon, either. After all, how many pop-singers use vocal layering to spice up those verses and choruses; or give us a good old key change for the grand finale; or sing about love? Answer: All of them.
