Mister Smith I'd like to see your best attempt at writing or composing a hit song... don't worry I'll wait.

[@MisterSmith684]

Tim Horton Why?

[@davidshepard-alenko4232]

***** If writing Taylor Swift songs is such a common and dimwitted thing to do why don't you do it and build yourself an entertainment empire like hers? You can't. That's my point.

[@MisterSmith684]

Tim Horton Your point is stupid. You really think she built herself? Music is not about talent these days, it's about marketability. If you are there at the right place in the right time, you might be chosen, but it has nothing to do with talent. Now, besides her popularity, do you have any valid arguments?

[@Loveallegra]

I will always love Taylor swift. One of my biggest role models.

[@Loveallegra]

Taylor swift? A musical genius who stands up for women's rights? Someone who in fact has not dated anyone since Conner Kennedy in 2012? Who doesn't let bullies like you take her down?

[@Loveallegra]

Smh it makes me sad to see so much hate in this world. I hope for the best for you.

[@Loveallegra]

Oh wow so you're going to make fun of my name now? Really? What are you in fifth grade?! I won't stoop that low. I, as a mature and intelligent human being, realize that everyone is entitled to their opinion- regardless of how ignorant it may be. Your arguments are nothing I haven't heard before, I'm not "dumbfounded" or "impressed." This conversation simply holds no interest for me any longer. I actually expected a better argument. Oh well. I guess you really couldn't think of anything original to say.

[@Loveallegra]

Alrhough I must say, I don't quite understand what brought you to this video, if you already knew you hated Taylor swift. To spread more hate? Ask yourself this question.

[@upscaleavenue]

@Maska Jinzo If you hated Taylor as much as you seem to, you wouldn't be here. So you must have some kind of weird, creepy obsession with her.

[@PiCheZvara]

Sometimes you just see some celebrity and you immediately think: "Yup, I totally get why this person is such a huge deal and why he/she is so adored". Taylor Swift falls into this category. I don't even care about her music, but she is so gorgeous, it catches you off-guard. If I met her in person, I would probably just stare at her with my mouth open.

[@evawallner7787]

[@combatfolk5643]

You didn't account for insta-models. Insta-models dont't need any talent.

[@sarahusman6123]

Best thing about her is...she earns her reputation with hardwork!

She just seems like such a genuine person. I want to be like her. In every action, she's so poised and professional

[@topfy101]

Yeezus Lol she is human. People lie every day. Because she's famous, some people start to act like she is a criminal.

[@davidsavage519]

Punpun Losi Exactly! She's a flawed person like anyone. But she and her team have manipulated the media into creating an image of America's PERFECT Sweetie pie. I just find it annoying.

[@CKJ-fh3ed]

Yeezus waittttt Kanye has been exposed for lying 😂 so um it's more like Kanye is the liar here 🌚

[@keinguyen822]

You completely contradicted yourself in two sentences - genuine vs professional

[@snoozyq9576]

You're describing qualities that don't make people seem genuine at all.

[@haileyk4772]

Receiving hate for nothing is usually a sign that you're doing something or saying something that everyone's afraid to do/say. She's a queen and that's on period.

[@shiminshamim8359]

I laughed so hard at the end. 7 seconds of noise and it went number 1, what the hell??? 😂😂😂

I guess Taylor Swift isn't really such a "snake" like how people take her out to be. I'm starting to like her.

[@angelinachen5629]

yea you should

[@billyjoe5886]

people just wanted her to look problematic so bad cuz she has a clean image. she has never been into a huge controversy. her biggest controversy was apparently her lying to a lyric and that's all but ppl wants to make it as a huge deal and painted her as a "snake"

[@Germs0o]

She's fake

To all the people who watched a video with Taylor Swift in it just to post hateful comments claiming she's not a good lyricist... Rolling Stone disagrees with you. The magazine names her in the Top 100 greatest songwriters of ALL-TIME (and top ten greatest female songwriters). She was the youngest in that list. Take that for data.

[@giannabrown867]

I'm scrolling on how much people hate her for not contributing anything.... She creates, she work hard to the top, she sacrifice the carefree teenage life to be world-star; which came with a risk of surrounded by obnoxious haters, she motivate her fans, she do charity, she don't have any criminal record, she date like normal girls, she write songs about love just like bruno mars, ed sheeran and any other men vocalists does and she does have flaws, just like any other human being. Yet you are preaching how useless she is, I wonder how useful you are again? Go listen to her song: Mean.

I love Taylor Swift! She may not be the best singer, but she can sure write great songs that people can relate too. Her Instagram pics are awesome too. I thought it was such great marketing on her part to write the lyrics to some of the songs leading up to the release of the album, it was personal and gave a sneak peek into what we could expect to hear. And, I actually listened to that 9 second release of Track 3 on the Canadian iTunes store and my first thought was "what does this static mean?" and then I thought "this can't be the song". hehehe
