I wanted to say that "Pumped Up Kicks" has done a really great job of surviving 2010-11, but I might be overstating that. Those Taylor Swift hits are still everywhere and it's weird to think she's now damn near a veteran of the music business (Christgau said the Stones were "grizzled veterans" when they made Exile, when Jagger was 29.)

Taylor Swift was a grizzled veteran by the time she did her crossover/pop stuff (nt) - Tabernacles E. Townsfolk September 8, 2023, 8:40 am
