You like Taylor Swift?

    It’s a reference to the movie American Psycho scene “You like Huey Lewis and the News?” but changed to fit Taylor Swift.

    You like Taylor Swift?
    
    Her early work was a little too country for my tastes, but when ‘Red’ came out in 2012, I think she really came into her own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. She’s been compared to Beyonce, but I think Taylor has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.
    
    In 2014, Taylor released this☝, ‘1989’, her most accomplished album. I think her undisputed masterpiece is "Blank Space", a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about Taylor herself. HEY PAUL!!
