Trying to act as if Taylor Swift isn't the metric on pop right now & has been for the past two years...
This reminds me of 2011 when people said this **** about SafeTy. Her, too - nobody actually cites them as sources of inspiration because they aren't sources of inspiration.
More people than Taylor Swift, that's for damn sure.
A recent example comes to mind of Kelly Clarkson covering Love On The Brain?
Not covering an artist' song equating to citing them as a musical inspiration
The depths the Navy have to go to fabricate some form of acclaim for dear old Robyn
