Nobody can complain about the Beatles’ creative genius across Please Please Me , White Album , Pepper and Abbey Road . They were icons and teen idols defining the late-20th century and musicology. Question is though, in the 21st century, across Millennials to Gen Alpha and Gen Beta, T. Swift far more iconic than Beatles.

There have been innumerable acts which have been called “the biggest since the Beatles” and which no doubt will remain paramount to their fans, but when the next one comes along the Beatles are still the yardstick. We’ll have to see if the time ever comes when an act is called “the biggest since Taylor Swift.”

As said above, artists and bands have come and gone after being hailed as the next, new or replacement Beatles but eventually fade. Taylor is an incredible talent, definitely deserves all the acclaim she gets but it’s also dependent on time and how long her influence, music and success lasts in the years ahead. There is room for both and that is only a good thing.
The 10 minute ‘All Too Well’ is quite possibly the best song to come out in the last decade but tracks like ‘Invisible String’, ‘Clean’ and ‘No Body, No Crime’ are brilliant (for whatever the YouTube video fails to embed).

Not a TS follower. Never heard All Too Well before. Just listened to it. Great voice. Nice lyrics. But the melody & music is not inspired. It’s like she wrote the lyrics and had an idea in her head about an atmosphere of feelings she wanted to convey, then just recycled some typical chord changes and squeezed a typical uninspired melody out of them. A pleasantly accomplished voice with nicely breathy accents here and there interspersed with vocal colorings Now And Then of emotional tugs at the ear aren’t enough to resuscitate this, I’m afraid. It sounds like filler music played on the TV show “Felicity”. I’d give it a C plus.
Now today I find, you have changed your mind
