Why Taylor Swift is the new Grateful Dead

 

come on along or go alone

she's come to take her children home

 

 

It's a bullshit lie.

One heat up and one cool down, leave nothing for the Taylor

1989 was good for both...

Sure they share this, but that's about all

 

>Both grew over time into incredibly successful commercial acts with cult followings

She's basically the perfect front man for D&C's upcoming Sphere residency

...Blow the horn, and tap the tambourine...

Dear John, she took your job

i'll take her over john mayo.

Or Jonah Hill.

Insipid, boring, drivel.

Her fans are tedious.

Hard pass.

 

I've heard lots of people say the same thing about the dead Dave. 

the spiral light of Venus

rising first

and shining best

I love her 'cause the incels hate her.

I don't understand why anyone would "hate" Taylor Swift. First off, she is one hell of a songwriter and she is just coming into the time when great songwriters get epic. While my opinion might not influence many, Bruce Springsteen, Steve Earle, Elvis Costello Carol King (all pretty good songwriters on their own) has all given her the moniker of great songwriter. She also seems to be a decent human as well. I look forward to what is in her future. 

She's an incredible talent, no doubt, but how well can she play dosed?  This must happen.  The newly "expanded" TS.

So does her relationship with Travis Kelce in any way factor into this discussion?

And I am my own grandfather 

I was recently asked to join a Taylor Swift cover band, it's a lot more challenging than you might think (and a lot of fun, the audience is pretty much all women who sing along with EVERY song).

Hate all you want, she's winning BIG at the moment.

She's crushing everything....except Herbal Dave

I really really like her. She writes her own songs, takes great care of her fans and GREAT care of her crew, she encourages her fans to VOTE, she stuck it to the Man when she re-recorded her earlier albums to control her masters which is a gangsta move especially for a woman, and overall as a role model she's pretty darn cool. I'm in. 

wiat. you are IN a swift cover band? 

trip out man.

She's an incredible talent<<<

Can anyone share an example of this?

I Iike a lot of her songs, very well written and sung in a country-pop vein. But that has to be a style of music you like if you're going to like Taylor Swift. One thing I don't think anyone can deny is that she has an INSANE work ethic, and she takes really good care of her people. But whether or not anyone likes her music is, of course, subjective and a matter of opinion, just like with anyone who likes the Dead, etc. 

>>>Can anyone share an example of this?

When it comes to the music no because that is subjective, but she plays guitar and piano on stage and she has written lyrics that have deeply impacted millions of people in incredibly hooky songs. She also in her spare time runs a billion dollar company all while singing her entire live set daily while running on a tread mill so she is prepared for her performances. I don't remember hearing about Jerry doing that. 

Oh, please share a video of your  Taylor Swift cover band, Burnz. Name of the band? 

Taylor Swift is an incredible artist who gave one of the top 5 greatest concert experiences in my life this past summer!

The Grateful Dead played adventurous improvisational music that you're either IN or OUT of as a fan.

This is where the similarities end, at least for me.

I'd say anyone who's a Deadhead whether I know them personally or not is someone looking and seeking Adventure, and for that fact alone I'll always be proud to be a fan.

Wait, she strums a guitar AND plays piano? I'm starting to grasp the magnitude. Tell me more.

>>>Wait, she strums a guitar AND plays piano? I'm starting to grasp the magnitude. Tell me more.

Um yeah she does that in front of 100,000 people night after night who are all recording every second on their phones and if she fucks up it will get blasted across the world. I type pretty well and I can't even do that if one person is watching. 

She also choreographs the whole shit

it's nothing, really

Swiftly Twisted?

I don't  know what Dark Star and the other Dead knock offs make, but imo you are on the Golden Road. Well played my friend, well played.
