Basically, the Taylor Swift of the 1990s. Is that an accurate statement?


Well?

I don't think Taylor Swift would go down on me in a theater.

reply

No. That is not an accurate statement in the least.

Taylor Swift does not seem to be popular here. She has zero sex appeal with the former generation. Yet she is the biggest star of this age. Isn't it ironic?

reply

Don't you think? I don't think there's many teenage girls on Moviechat posting about Taylor. Alanis is/was much more talented.

reply

What's ironic is that almost none of that song's examples are really ironic, you know? And yeah, I did say that she had no appeal with the former generation. But you had to jump in with the follow up, I guess.

reply

Yeah, I think I read somewhere being 20 at the time she really didn't know the true definition of the word.

reply

Uh, I think the dude who was afraid to fly in a plane, because he thought the plane was gonna crash (which is implied), who finally gets over his fear of flying, only to book a flight which then crashes, is ironic, right?

As Luffy said "almost none of that song's examples are really ironic."

reply

Nah, that would probably be Britney Spears. She's more like Lorde, had some amazing hits at the start and then just kind of faded out of the scene.

reply

While I don't care for Swift's music she is talented and writes her own music. IMO Jagged Little Pilll is an excellent album- so good that it doesn't even matter what Alanis did afterwards.

reply

Taylor has been around since 2009 at least. Alanis had that one big album in 1995, but her career didn't stay that high

reply

No. Alanis was a better songwriter.

reply

No it's not as she only had one famous album.
