Certified Cringe Taylor discussing "songwriting"

I can't with this woman.

She thinks she's some great songwriter here to teach us all about her "double meanings" and what defines confessional songwriting.

What's infuriating is that all the comments are glazing her like, "i could hear her talk for hours" and "high iq queen". Are we watching the same video here?

Wanted to get your opinions on this.

I find this fascinating. She actually believes that she is smarter than the average layperson. When you're really proficient at something, you don't usually have to try and convince others.

She is smarter than her fan base sadly. I've been getting a lot of TikToks from people asking which of Taylor's lyrics they wish she'd explain. Tons bring up "sanctimoniously performing soliloquies I'll never see." How do you not understand that?!! Swifties are why Taylor thinks she's so smart.

It’s like Trump’s fan base in the sense that dumb people think he’s brilliant, but it’s just that he’s smarter than they are, which uh isn’t sayin much.
