I'd have the exact same complaint about Ozzy / Dickinson's solo careers, both of which pale in comparison to the bands they're famous for.

Taylor Swift is a singer. If you removed her vocals from her albums, she might have like 1% of the content remaining that she's had a hand in (lmao her heartbeat on that one song xD). She's a completely negligible piece the pop music system. You could replace her with literally anyone and just tell people it was still her and it would still work.

...except she writes all her songs

like there are some pop musicians you could argue this about--probably less than you think though--but Taylor Swift is definitely not one of them. I'm not even a big fan or anything, it's just a dumb thing to denigrate her for. And tbh it's the kind of criticism you see almost exclusively directed at women pop stars. Like no one shits on Michael Jackson for having done the exact same thing

here are the credits for a devin townsend "solo" album
