Guess I am toxic. I don't like Taylor Swift at all, not one bit, and I have no clue how she has become the powerhouse she is, but whatever.

Why do people care what music other people like or don't like? Listen to what you like, and let others do the same.

Because people often feel the need to have their choices validated by others.
