By how generic she was.
Like sis, TD is my #3 or #2 album this decade (depends on how I feel about Lana at any given time), I have no shame in saying that, but the fact that its "influence" on him was through how it's repetitive with "sing-along" lyrics is just sad. If it were INFLUENTIAL, people would be finding other things to be influenced by and praising other aspects. The only influence it has had was helping to define the Max/Luke sound dominating radio - we can talk about that. We can acknowledge the dozens of radio fodder songs that tried to follow in its tracks after it had six #1 hits. But Coldplay and Taylor are just not examples of that.
