Unpopular Opinion: Taylor Swift Is Overrated
Daily Media Buzz

In case you missed it the Grammy's were this weekend. Artist across many different musical genres were awarded for their hard work and creativity in their craft this weekend.

I was more than excited to watch this year. I love the glitz and glam of the Grammy's and the killer performances. My heart melted when Sam Hunt and Carrie Underwood sang together. This years Grammy's hit me with all kinds of feels.

Then Taylor Swift won album of the year and I felt Tori Kelly types of feels all over this situation.

I know its an unpopular opinion but I think T-Swift is totally overrated. Her music is stale. Tay, we've heard it all before. You miss your old beau or you're wondering if you'll find a new one. Is there anything else going on in your life? Or are you too busy shaking off the haters to live one? (If you have to write an entire song about your haters there's probably a good reason you have so many.)

I think music is art. You need to be creative, take risks and make a statement. What statement are you making Taylor? What risks have you taken?

Other nominees in this category included The Weeknd and Kendrick Lamar both of whom push the limits of what topics their music will covers. They take risks. They're telling stories with blunt and refreshing honesty. Chris Stapleton's album hits in the feels so hard Rolling Stones said "each of the album's 14 tracks go straight for the emotional jugular."

If you're into over synthesized vocals, stale music, and cliched stories then maybe T-Swift is the girl for you. You probably stand by the Grammy's choice in awarding her the W for album of the year. I'm not into that though. I want to see artist who take risks get rewarded for them. Taylor knows exactly what to do to make some money, but should the Grammy's celebrate that or making great art? With Taylor's win I think it's safe to say art isn't the Grammy's first concern.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
