So I actually hate The Oatmeal and nearly everything on that cringeworthy, neckbeardy reddit-pandering hellhole, but the guy behind it wrote
a piece about Twilight awhile back that also perfectly describes Taylor:
Quote:

First off, [Taylor Swift] is an empty shell. Her appearance isn't described in detail; that way, any female can slip into it and easily fantasize about being this person.

Appearance aside, her personality is portrayed as insecure, fumbling, and awkward - a combination anyone who ever went through puberty can relate to. By creating this "empty shell," the character becomes less of a person and more of something a female[listener] can put on and wear.

Quote:

So after a few [songs] of listening to [Taylor] whine about high school, sucking at volleyball, and being the center of attention, the second major character is introduced. Imagine everything women want in a man, then exaggerate it by ten thousand - and you've got [the subject of every single one of Taylor's love songs].

I'll never know why people drag Jennifer Lawrence for being so tryhard with her "quirky" and "relatable" personality when Taylor's about 1,000x more guilty of it.
