One thing I do at work every morning is take a pick up truck which we park in the warehouse overnight, outside.
One thing that comes out of that is hearing things on the radio. Obviously I get whatever the last person who drove it listens to. A couple times I have gotten religious programming. Not sure who was responsible for that. Most often I get classic rock. Sometimes talk. Sometimes I get pop which is what I got yesterday.
Now I have been hearing the name Taylor Swift for a fair length of time now. She is a pretty big name in pop culture in general, plus her name comes up regularly in the cheap smarm and gossip bits of the newspaper I buy every day. As a result, I know a few alleged things about her relationship history. I could also talk about some of her songs. I havent heard the songs but I know the stories behind a few of them because apparently she writes songs for revenge against former boyfriends also critics - and people like to speculate who the various songs are about. The name John Mayer comes up often.
ANYWAY, the song that was on yesterday morning in the truck, I had never heard before, but I recognized it right away as Taylor Swift because the lyrics were straight from gossipy articles I have recently read. Something about: we will never ever ever get back together blah, blah, blah. For all my Taylor Swift awareness, it might be the first I have heard of her music beyond a little snippet from a TV commercial awhile back.
So let me now say this about the music of Taylor Swift:
Bloody awful.
