None of that rebuts what was said. Again, art is subjective, but technique and skill are not. They are very quantifiable. Pretending that Swift doesn't have those is completely absurd and disingenuous. It's doubtful you've ever listened to an entire TS album or even a full song so your inexpert opinion isn't really worth much.

Neither the Harvard music professors I quoted nor the ones from U of Oregon have "pecuniary" interests. And it’s highly doubtful that Paul Stanley of KISS or Billie Joe Armstrong of Greenday are hoping to get something by speaking up about their admiration for Swift. You're the one who has demonstrated that you care more about your own personal narrative than verifiable facts. As the author of the OP noted, "You must be a lot of fun at parties . . ." 🙄
