Good that you noticed.
There's no such thing as objectively good singer.
That said, my initial comment didn't make my opinion any more "objective" than yours - one subjective opinion against another.
Disdain? Could you stop whiteknighting please?
You have a weird mind.
I don't live and don't vote in the USA ; that aside, Trump winning would mean existential risks for part of my family.
Now, what does it say about you - to pull all this shit out of your imagination without any real reason whatsoever?
Sure, here on the Internet where the Men are Men, the Women are Men, the Children are FBI Agents, SURE you're not a deranged trumper shitting on the lady who your side tried to coopt a few weeks ago, and nobody, and I mean nobody knows I'm a cat.
I don't trust you and you shitting on Swift is doing you no favours. If you don't like Swift, you move on. That you didn't and continue to attack anyone who questions your silliness suggests that you're more than non-appreciative of her as a singer. Hell, I don't like her as a singer. But I'm not going to act like a bitchy MAGA idiot by shitting on her music on a thread about how she is making bitchy MAGA idiots lose their shit by endorsing the other person. :)
Actually I was thinking you might be tasty...
Also
... is a normal reaction, behave like a moron - receive all kinds of insulting responses. Just admit it and move on.
I'm gonna stop you right there, chief. Singing ability is measurable, and quantifiable. You absolutely can be objectively good or bad at it. This isn't a statement of personal taste, it's a matter of basic observation. It is possible to dislike a song, and conclude the singing is good. It's possible to like a song and conclude that the singing is bad.
You can be wrong about a person's singing ability if you are unable to separate your personal preferences for singing with an objective look at things like a singer's pitch control, consistency, emotionality, and flexibility.
Musical preference is a subjective thing, but musical theory is much less so.
With that said, Taylor Swift is objectively an excellent singer. I'm not a huge fan of her music, but I don't have to be to know that it's true.
I could say that singing ability differs between various things that can be called singing in various cultures, and anything depending on spectator's evaluation (pleasure) is subjective, but these are obvious, so whatever, hold a cookie
