Good, bad and mediocre musicians are in the eye of the beholder--or is it ear of the beholder in this instance? I can only speak for myself. Ms. Swift is undeniably talented. But with the exception of a couple of songs (one of them, All Too Well, is really good--the extended version justifies its length), I don't find her work all that interesting. Then again, I'm too old to be in her "demographic", so I'm not the intended audience.
