On Christmas day after dinner we were sitting around chit chatting and the subject of Taylor Swift came up. I mentioned I thought it was odd I didn't know any of her songs. I could name songs by Lana del Ray, Adele, Amy Winehouse and Billie Eilish, but drew a blank on Taylor Swift. A gay friend of the family seemed offended, but he looked on his phone and realized he couldn't name any either. No one in my large family could name a TS song.
About a week later I started seeing reports that Taylor Swift was a psyop, which I thought was hilarious given that earlier conversation, but don't believe for a minute.
That's a fine piece of manic writing. I enjoyed it so thanks for sharing. The other weird thing for me is that I'm a huge fan of female artists starting at a young age with Joni Mitchell (I kept this to myself so the fellows didn't think I was gay) up to Aurura, Kate Bush, PJ Harvey and the other previously mentioned artists but total blank on Taylor Swift.
These are the more conspiratorial type stories I was referring to

I've never heard Shake it off. I listen mostly to YouTube, which never recommends her. Maybe she's more Apple/Spotify? I would think I'd hear a song of her around town some where. I don't know what she sounds like, so I don't know if I'd recognize her voice. At this point, I think I'll remain ignorant of Ms Swift in case she is a psyop lol
I tried listening to a couple of songs of Taylor Swift. I find it is important to keep an open mind and not be a complete snob.
But I can't even remember the melodies let alone the titles. It completely goes like through a vacuum in my brain, as if my mind decided it is completely unremarkable.
