Carly Simon on Taylor Swift: "She’s the perfect species for this century. She’s the ideal girl."

In a interview with Maclean's, the 70-year-old singer-songwriter talked about Taylor Swift among other things.

- When asked if she has PTSD when she hears of artists like Taylor Swift getting criticized for her songs about relationships, she said:
"She’s told me that she gets raked over the coals. But anybody who’s as successful as Taylor is going to get raked over the coals for one thing or another. She could have gotten it for writing about mashed potatoes and the perfect gravy. She’s so wonderful that she was born for the job. She’s the perfect species for this time—in this century. She’s the ideal girl. Which is why they want to rake her over the coals."

There's no way out, you'll have to pay."

i love TS's lipstick there. Can someone ID it please?

white mediocrity and it's never ending privledge: the taylor swift story

She's like, less than mediocre. Her best songs are written by others (yet we're supposed to call her a songwriter) and she has such a weak voice, especially when singing live. She doesn't dance and has no charisma. All she has that I can admire is her ruthlessness in business and maintaining an image.

She does dance actually...remarkably poorly. It's entertaining because she thinks she's slaying while everyone else dies from second-hand embarrassment.

"her best songs are written by others" lol ok

she does write her own songs

Well, it's usually only mouthbreathers and reel muzic fans on the cesspool message boards and comment sections who refuse to believe she could be capauble of writing the songs she is credited for so this makes a nice change.

she's the only female artist to write an album entirely alone and sell 1 million in the first week but carry on

this heffa, kmt

This comment truly rubs me the wrong way. Calling a blonde, white women the "perfect species".

Literally my first thought was "is this women some kind of neo-nazi"?

I felt the same way reading that. And of all the women this century who have done remarkable things that didn't involve trying to violent throw out their spine.

Carly is Jewish, so probably not, but still... not great phrasing.

Didn't Carly trash her for before? I always remember thinking it is sad she might not like her bc Taylor loves her so much.
