Not a fan by any means but. She writes her own songs. Which is rare for country artists. Tim McGraw and George strait do not write any of their own songs. She also plays an instrument(not great but she does). She does amazing things for her fans and charities. And she is a smokes how. I don't understand the hate.

It's rare for ANY popular musician these days to write their own music and play their own instrument. I definity give her props for that. Her music isn't my style and I'm not going to go and buy any of it, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't think a lot of her songs on her last album weren't damn catchy.

You say you hate drama, but EVERY one of her songs is about drama.

I don't think I've ever heard one of her songs all the way through, certainly not on purpose. Not a country or pop fan, can't say I hate her but certainly don't care about her music.

Don't like her music, but don't hate her just don't pay attention to her music or personal life.

It was wierd when NPR journo-sophisticate interviewed her and totally ambushed her. Now, I feel she has over-compensated so that she will be liked by the Central Park West demographic. Her voice--now--has changed almost like Madonna's changed when she moved to London and wanted to rise above the bourgeois.
She has talent and her writing creativity is remarkable.....that doesn't mean she should be governing or raising our daughters for us though.
I would rather listen to Tyler Farr. Or Bocephus.

Indifferent. Her music isn't my style and I really just don't even think all that much about her - except for the fact that The Rock used "Tae-Tae's" Shake It Off in a Lip Sync Battle.

Went thru a period of very strong dislike but now I'm closer to indifference. There's sooooo much terrible music on country radio now (Luke Bryan, FGL, Sam Hunt etc) that hers has gotten better by default. At least she admits she's pop. She also seems to do a lot of random acts with her money to help people. At least she's famous for actually doing something.

Oh, and would.

I would say there are probably only 3 TS songs that I would recognize and they are just pop junk.

I don't dislike her because I don't care enough to dislike her. I do get sick of seeing her overly made up face every time I turn around. That woman must have a team of makeup artists following her everywhere she goes.

If she farted into a microphone I swear someone would make up a new award to present her.

Not exactly sure.
Don't care for her. Usually change the station when I hear her voice, just don't like her voice.

For some reason she comes across as a white trash that made it big and wants to get into everyone's face.

I will say this about her earlier country music. Its very clean sounding, very well produced. Then again, a lot of the country music industry is like this as well.

Most pop music today is produced to sound good on earbuds...eeeek.

Not a great singer, but a great songwriter and a pretty good musician. Definitely over board on the make up. I also get annoyed with her fake surprised look when people applaud after songs. Just say thank you and move on...don't act all shocked like omg they really like me!
