34. I think she is a great poet, really creative.

And great song writer. I say this as someone who was into 70s hard rock/heavy metal in my teen years. I enjoy a wide variety of music from Joni Mitchell to obscure metal bands, jazz and fusion artists of different eras, world folk and traditional, classical, R&B.

Taylor Swift is a great pop artist, but it's her empathy and gumption expressed through her art that inspires the connection across people's and ages.

She's always been great lyrically, and her writing has matured in its perspective and complexity.
