How did Her career get so misdirected after Speak Now? She went from this entirely self-written, acclaimed masterpiece to Katy Perry wannabe?
Was Speak Now not successful enough?

Were 4 million copies and like 8 top 40 entries not enough?

Were 2 Grammy awards, Entertainer of the Year, and a $100 million grossing tour not enough?
And what moron keeps pushing Her into the arms of acts She's really too good to be working with? Ed Sheeran? Gary Lightbody? Train?
I don't want a regression to country music. I love Her doing pop influenced things. But Max Martin and Ryan Tedder are like the least of all common denominators.
I get that the Max Martin singles are a tradeoff. We get quality songs on the album, the singles broaden Her market and help keep Her relevant to the public. But She's tipping the balance in a bad way if She's making a full on Max Martin album.
But you go ahead and serve me your worst, Taylor. I'll bop to it anyways.
