Unpopular Opinion: Taylor Swift Is Overrated
Daily Media Buzz

In case you missed it the Grammy's were this weekend. Artist across many different musical genres were awarded for their hard work and creativity in their craft this weekend.

I was more than excited to watch this year. I love the glitz and glam of the Grammy's and the killer performances. My heart melted when Sam Hunt and Carrie Underwood sang together. This years Grammy's hit me with all kinds of feels.

Then Taylor Swift won album of the year and I felt Tori Kelly types of feels all over this situation.

I know its an unpopular opinion but I think T-Swift is totally overrated. Her music is stale. Tay, we've heard it all before. You miss your old beau or you're wondering if you'll find a new one. Is there anything else going on in your life? Or are you too busy shaking off the haters to live one? (If you have to write an entire song about your haters there's probably a good reason you have so many.)

I think music is art. You need to be creative, take risks and make a statement. What statement are you making Taylor? What risks have you taken?

Other nominees in this category included The Weeknd and Kendrick Lamar both of whom push the limits of what topics their music will covers. They take risks. They're telling stories with blunt and refreshing honesty. Chris Stapleton's album hits in the feels so hard Rolling Stones said "each of the album's 14 tracks go straight for the emotional jugular."

If you're into over synthesized vocals, stale music, and cliched stories then maybe T-Swift is the girl for you. You probably stand by the Grammy's choice in awarding her the W for album of the year. I'm not into that though. I want to see artist who take risks get rewarded for them. Taylor knows exactly what to do to make some money, but should the Grammy's celebrate that or making great art? With Taylor's win I think it's safe to say art isn't the Grammy's first concern.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
