Sure they have, how many have written multiples of those songs?

Everyone knows You're So Vain and there are other songs that are somewhat known, but they are generally that one song for that artist. Her whole career has been about writing songs on ex-boyfriends. It's kind of remarkable. The first sentence says it all in the link

HokieJamie • 08/25/23 12:22 PM ET
Not crazy about her music, my wife likes all the pop stuff so I suffer...

astrohokie • 08/25/23 11:16 AM ET
Never got Taylor Swift’s appeal. She’s this generation’s Debbie Gibson imo.**
RoswellGAHokie • 08/25/23 11:16 AM ET
I'm not a Swiftie, but she's unbelievably talented. Her tour is something
reestuart • 08/25/23 01:15 PM ET
How so?
Will StewartAdmin • 08/25/23 07:23 PM ET
One of those if you know you know
SRE87 • 08/25/23 11:16 PM ET
No clue. I don’t get it, but it’s real. **
reestuart • 08/25/23 09:11 PM ET
LOL. Worst comparison ever.
ModerateHokie • 08/25/23 12:18 PM ET
Musically, she reminds me of a Debbie Gibson. It’s not a comparison of
RoswellGAHokie • 08/25/23 12:24 PM ET
Totally disagry
HokieMacDaddy • 08/25/23 12:50 PM ET
Gibson did write a lot of her own music though.
vthokieq • 08/25/23 12:57 PM ET
You want to get upset?
hoosnowahokie • 08/25/23 11:55 AM ET
Why are you debating whether Swift if a good person?
ModerateHokie • 08/25/23 12:19 PM ET
I tend to not support people
hoosnowahokie • 08/25/23 01:15 PM ET
I volunteered at a Children's Hospital for many years.
132863Hokie • 08/25/23 01:59 PM ET
And that's great. I have a similar story about Buzz Williams
hoosnowahokie • 08/25/23 02:35 PM ET
Can I ask a serious question...
vthokieq • 08/25/23 01:26 PM ET
Are there other artists that are almost strictly known for writing about
hoosnowahokie • 08/25/23 02:38 PM ET
As I said...I think A LOT of artists do/have...
vthokieq • 08/25/23 02:51 PM ET
Sure they have, how many have written multiples of those songs? ◄
hoosnowahokie • 08/25/23 03:40 PM ET
So reading that article the only one who seemed…
vthokieq • 08/25/23 04:01 PM ET
Maybe that she's just more forthcoming about it?**
HokieMacDaddy • 08/25/23 01:53 PM ET
And more direct I think
hoosnowahokie • 08/25/23 02:33 PM ET
She’s alot more than Debbie Gibson.
GreenvilleVT • 08/25/23 11:46 AM ET
I think Swift deserves a bit more credit than that.
Tafkam Hokie • 08/25/23 11:28 AM ET
I had this discussion with my wife the other day
HokieMacDaddy • 08/25/23 12:54 PM ET
For that question, I would go with Madonna, but it would purely
Tafkam Hokie • 08/25/23 01:23 PM ET
Fair points
HokieMacDaddy • 08/25/23 01:51 PM ET
I would add that she's largely scandal-free. No nude leaks, no 5150 holds,
Spud • 08/25/23 11:51 AM ET
Not many musicians or other pop stars can say that...lol**
EDGEMAN • 08/25/23 12:00 PM ET
LOL...not even close.
vthokieq • 08/25/23 11:19 AM ET
Yep. Her impact is on that level even if perhaps her talent isn't.**
vt90 • 08/25/23 11:24 AM ET
I'm not going to even begin to debate "talent".
vthokieq • 08/25/23 11:28 AM ET
I am not a hater of her and she is an excellent writer and performer ...
vt90 • 08/25/23 11:44 AM ET
And that’s fine, but realize you’re arguing something…
vthokieq • 08/25/23 11:48 AM ET
Not really arguing anything ...
vt90 • 08/25/23 11:50 AM ET
Arguing, debating, criticizing, whatever word you want to use.
vthokieq • 08/25/23 11:58 AM ET
We can agree that her cosmetic surgeon is talented.**
vt90 • 08/25/23 12:01 PM ET
And talent has never really been a great predictor at success in music
Tafkam Hokie • 08/25/23 11:32 AM ET
Then this is a vapid generation. **
RoswellGAHokie • 08/25/23 11:21 AM ET
The Beatles were deep? **
ModerateHokie • 08/25/23 12:21 PM ET
And just like every generation that came before it...
vthokieq • 08/25/23 11:23 AM ET
Taylor’s just way too revolutionary. Riiiight. **
RoswellGAHokie • 08/25/23 11:24 AM ET
LOL...relax grandpa...nobody is saying you have to understand it. ;-)
