Hi, my name is Elizabeth. I am from the United States, and my question is, what is a popular singer that you dislike?

So, I would have to say a popular singer that I dislike is Taylor Swift. Now, I will say she has done a wonderful job marketing herself. She's very clever with writing song lyrics, and she puts on some impressive performances. But I just really don't understand the hype. I don't think that her song lyrics are very deep. I also think that her fan base, they like no matter what song comes out, even if it's terrible, they're going to say that it is gold.

Okay. So for those reasons, I don't really like her. Now I can quote some of her songs, especially her older country ones. So I do understand that she's very good at what she does, but for the reasons I mentioned, I just don't particularly like her.
