1989 is a great pop record. If pop isn't your thing, then, yeah I get you won't like it but trying to align her with 5 seconds of summer or one direction is bull####.
I dunno, I think its just being sold that way. Kanye West stealing the mic from her was the best thing that ever happened to Swift. She gained everyone's sympathy/attention and now her brand of crap music can be peddled willfully as "great pop". Seems to be the latest trick in the music biz. Just tell everyone that the latest fluff is actually "great pop" and even dimwits like Ryan Adams will buy into it.

Lately it actually seems like the pretentious hipster thing to do is praise stuff like Swift and pretend its more than carefully packaged garbage. The music is completely devoid of soul. If Taylor Swift is great anything, its pretty much a great showcase of how to make a product or brand marketable to the masses.

Noel should continue to bash stuff like this. I'd be worried if he wasn't.
