    It sounds like you don’t like pop music. 1989 is an objectively good album. I don’t know anything else about any of her other music, but that single album is DENSE with well executed main stream pop.

    Having said that, should tickets to see her be as expensive as they are? Should people be as obsessed with her as they are? No on both counts.

      I like a lot of pop music, mostly synth pop, Pet Shop Boys, Erasure, Duran Duran, Depeche Mode, Hall and Oates, Billy Ocean, Howard Jones, Michael Jackson (yea). I listened to the album, it’s definitely well produced and catchy but I didn’t hear anything new at all, it’s very formulaic, which is fine for pop music of course but she’s definitely not doing anything new or exciting so I don’t get the hype at all. It’s good pop music sure, but filling stadiums? People flying around the world? I dunno. It’s more a cult of personality.
