Do you think Taylor Swift is talented?

I fail to see what the significance of Taylor Swift is. Honestly there are more talented performers in clubs and bars across the USA. Was it a great agent that started this money machine? Was it a decision to get out of the country music scene and aiming at young girls as a monetary target? The importance of Taylor is short of amazing and I applaud the production, marketing and hype of the product BUT the product is not as good as MANY other performers and song writers.I have just sent to you a couple of examples but please keep in mind, Taylor Swift as a barrier breaker in talent is a myth. Consider Joni Mitchell, Bonnie Raitt, James Taylor, SRV and so many more.
