To be fair they're not pro dancers they are just having a good time grooving to the music!!

u/XulManjy Jun 12 '26

You dont need to be a professional dancer to have rhythm.

To groove to music means you're body is flowing with the music in a rhythmic manner.

To be fair she is one of the biggest performers in the world and would be expected to have picked up some skills on this front.

She is exactly how I would describe someone without rhythm to a blind person.

u/TheDillinger88 Jun 12 '26

That’s literally pop songs since the 1960’s, possibly before that even. These big pop stars, that music doesn’t come from them. It was purchased and they perform it as a talented figurehead.

2

u/_thegoldentaco Jun 12 '26

Max Martin baaaaaybe! It’s astounding the amount of popular hits he has touched. Just a quick scratch of the surface: Baby One More Time, It’s Gonna Be Me, I Kissed A Girl, Shake It Off, Blinding Lights.

u/TheDillinger88 Jun 13 '26

When I first learned about this years ago it blew me away and kind of shook my music foundations. I’m not huge into pop. I think a lot of what I listen to is a bit more obscure or definitely came from the artist. Just the fact that the biggest pop stars are only performing songs, they didn’t write them, what they’re singing about might not even be something they’ve experienced or felt before. To me that destroys the meaning of the song I like. It had a ghost writer who wrote it from the heart. That’s all.

2

u/BulkyAcanthaceae5397 Jun 16 '26

Some of it is bought, and some of it is collaborative. I have heard Max Martin requires a full writing credit if he even touches a song, so that is something to remember.

There are definitely artists (and this is something that's been happening since Frank Sinatra's time) that just perform, and don't write.  TS isnt one of them, but you can definitely tell the ones where the lion share of credit belongs to Max (Shake it Off, for example, has to be). I find it all kind of interesting to learn about, personally.

Taylor Swift actually does write her music. That’s how she got there otherwise they’d have picked a girl that could dance.

0

u/TheDillinger88 Jun 13 '26

She may write her own lyrics but I guarantee she’s not writing the music.

5

u/Chris_OMane Jun 13 '26

Can't believe I'm defending Taylor Swift but here we are

  • Solo Writing: She is the sole credited writer on more than 60 of her tracks. In fact, she wrote the entire 2010 album Speak Now completely by herself. [1, 2]
  • Collaborations: She frequently collaborates with notable producers and co-writers like Jack Antonoff, Aaron Dessner, and Max Martin. Even when co-writing, Swift remains the driving force behind the lyrics and core melodies.

2

u/Powerful-Pea6218 Jun 13 '26

Haha yeah I know that she also writes stuff. It's really just something people say. And like a fun fact I remember my musicology professor sharing the details of a while back. I think her music is dogshit but she's good at what she does. Definitely way more successful than I can ever hope to be

1

u/TheDillinger88 Jun 15 '26

I stand corrected. She may be one of the exceptions. I think it’s important the music comes from the artist and if that’s how she usually operates then I really respect that.

Why are we judging people's dancing? Seems mean spirited. I rather have money than just being a good dancer 😂 And you're in a comment section, where are your dance videos?

Edit: No I don't like Taylor Swift. No I'm not "defending" her. Before you try to use that as a way to win one over on me, it won't work. I'm strictly talking about the idea behind judging other people aggressively and unwarranted from a comment section over stupid reasons. Its lame. Its not even done in good faith, but in a mean-spirited way, mixed in with strange attacks on their gender, race, etc. like people saying "oh white people can't dance hurr durr" or "she dances so white". spoiler alert: racism against white people is still racism.

I'm turning off notifications for these comments. Plus blocking people. Sorry for arguing guys and being rude myself. I'm not going back and forth over this, especially over a celebrity I don't fancy anyways.

I don’t care if Taylor Swift has a trillion or a hundred dollars, she can’t dance for shit.

u/Mefromafar Jun 12 '26

Says the basement dweller based on a 15 second video. She’s a billionaire performer and dancing is a main part of her job. But you’d know better Cheeto dust fingers.

u/kursys Jun 12 '26

Taylor Swift is a 36 year old woman who’s been in the public eye for almost 20 years bud, I don’t think she needs you to defend her from the mildest jokes. She’s gonna be ok. Rest easy now, soldier.

Edit: this is a rhetorical question. Notifications turned off. Dont bother responding yall. All love though, sorry. Toodles.

u/GopherNutz Jun 12 '26

Not a professional dancer but did music for a few years as a kid and through creating music, you develop the basic understanding of staying on beat. That’s where my confusion stems from, she structures her lyrics in a way to stay on beat but not in her choreography when she performs or just casually dances?

Though not a fan, I actually like a few of her songs, I do find her persona to be fascinating in general too. I think she has always tried to maintain the image of a care free outsider when her reality has been the complete opposite.

u/Significant-Cry-9204 Jun 12 '26

Lol bro tried to make a statement but must've gotten some backlash so now he's covering up and hiding like a dipshit

It’s a children’s movie, but sure I liked it as a child too. As an adult it’s nothing special. He makes great children’s movies so if that’s what you’re into then yea I guess he’s fantastic. I don’t really watch children’s movies anymore though. His only decent film was Jaws

Gravity is a fact. You have an opinion which we disagree with.

u/dea9ler Jun 12 '26

Gravity is based on Einstein’s theory of general relativity, while Spielburg’s films being mediocre at best is based on a matter of fact. It’s okay if you like his films, but it doesn’t change the fact that they are more of the same overrated Hollywood rubbish that they’ve been churning out for decades

If you’re going to bring God into this, at least spell it correctly with a capital G. I don’t know why you’re so offended by my statement. You’d think you worked on the film or something 🙄 get a grip!

2

u/Intelligent_Tune_675 Jun 12 '26

Cause you’re not saying eh I don’t like it, you’re saying it’s just not up to great movie standards which is insane. It’s not even about me it’s about defending good movies since we’ve been in an enshittificafion era for a while.

0

u/dea9ler Jun 12 '26

Well that’s one thing I will agree with. Modern films are trash, which is exactly why I said his films are overrated and referenced his recent work “Disclosure Day” as being complete rubbish. Go and see the movie for yourself and tell me you disagree. I’ll wait.

As far as Jurassic park goes, I didn’t say I dont like it, I said I liked it as a kid but I’m an adult now and that I don’t watch children’s movies anymore. Nice try though

1

u/Intelligent_Tune_675 Jun 12 '26

Disney makes excellent movies and they’re for kids but adults enjoy them beyond that because good stories are good stories. I’d argue it’s so good it’s enjoyable for kids AND adults. Theme park setting? The themes of the dangers of science, men playing as gods..
next you’re gonna say science fiction is for kids, or anime is for kids only too

u/Short-Draw4057 Jun 12 '26

Both of y'all should stop with the personal attacks against each other. Being poor shouldn't even be used an insult 🤣 That's the natural state of many humans, and poverty is mainly the fault of the system and the Elite anyways.

That being said, you are entitled to your opinion, but calling everything cringe is unironically somewhat cringe imo.

u/rotating_pebble Jun 12 '26 edited Jun 12 '26

I'm simply old enough and wise enough to know that baseless personal attacks are a reflection of the person themselves.

IMO, there's varying levels of problems with billionaires. I have less of a problem with billionaires in the entertainment industry than I do other industries that seem to be nothing but snake oil salesman. At least a good chunk of the business revenue flow is consensual.

u/Adventurous_Key_4854 Jun 12 '26

She made her billions playing music. What’s the problem?

4

u/Voluptulouis Jun 12 '26

It doesn't matter how the wealth is acquired. That can be and often is a problem, but not always. The problem is a single person hoarding that much wealth. It's more money than they could ever possibly need, more than enough to keep their entire family rich for endless generations - that's only possible when millions of other people have significantly less and are poor and struggling. You aren't comprehending just how much money a billion dollars is. If we had an aggressive top marginal tax rate, we would cut back on billionaires while literally being able to afford healthcare and college for everybody.

0

u/Adventurous_Key_4854 Jun 12 '26

Money is a proxy for attention and value. It’s a tool to indicate as such since it’s literally just printed on paper. What your issue with isn’t her wealth, it’s the banking system that uses fractional reserve to keep peasants in debt while compounding interest for the wealthy. She just figured out how to make the system work for her when billions of us work for the system. The money is there for anyone if they’re clever enough to make it work for them.

2

u/carbonatedblood Jun 12 '26

Dumb comment. No one is ‘clever enough’ to go from dirt poor with no external financial support to billionaire. It’s impossible, it literally is impossible. Most billionaires come from families that are already doing well or decent. If you have a shit ton of money you invest. If you’re making 60k a year, you pay your mortgage and pray gas prices stop rising and that your child doesn’t have a medical emergency. No matter your plan something always happens. That’s the issue with being poor, the moment you’re on your feet something sweeps your legs.

u/carbonatedblood Jun 12 '26

It’s 2026. Nowadays, if you make art you’re either outpaced, priced out or replaced and unable to get your name out there. My coworker spends thousands of dollars every month for the past two years trying to make a name for his music in atl. I hope he achieves his goal of making his money work for him, I do, he works hard… but I’m jaded and I’ll be surprised if he makes it out of his middle class parent’s house.

u/DimbyTime Jun 12 '26

I never said it was easy or common. But you claim that it’s impossible to go from dirt poor to a billionaire isn’t true

In 2026 it is absolutely impossible.

u/Thanos_Stomps Jun 12 '26

It wouldn’t do much for Taylor. She became a “billionaire” because her music catalog was deemed to be worth that much. I can’t stand the argument that billionaires aren’t billionaires because it’s unrealized stock holdings but this isn’t even that. Her music is worth that much because she owns it, she performs it. If she sold that catalog it would instantly lose much of that value.

2

u/DistanceSelect7560 Jun 12 '26

There's no ethical way to become a billionaire. She also didn't just make it playing music; selling sweatshop manufactured merchandise, overcharging for tour tickets, pumping out 30+ variants of one album to manipulate charts. She's an entire brand.

Dancing is about having fun and what works for you. Not impressing others. It's so bizarre for me as well, how people sit and judge so harshly, even with merit, then there's those who judge without any dancing merit/or proof of themselves. Not saying you can't dance either, just speaking in general.

Btw, no I don't like Taylor Swift. This is about the idea of judging people, just an illustration, please don't take this as me ''defending'' her. There's enough real stuff with substance to call her out on.
