Agreed on all counts. But none of this gets wrong what those artists do quite as profoundly -- I don't think she makes much of a claim for GaGa (or Rihanna's) music (she's right at least that the Rihanna album is "dark" and there isn't a standout single, sure), but with Taylor the whole picture is ass-backwards. With the others it just feels like contextual speculation that may be misguided (or even factually wrong), but with Taylor it's a wholesale misrepresentation of what she does at the most basic comprehension level -- she's not just interpreting Taylor questionably, she's not taking the effort to even try.
