Taylor Swift is easy to like. She's polite in interviews, she's nice on Twitter . Even if you aren't a fan you can appreciate how nice she is in an industry filled with privileged people engaging in bad behavior. I've noticed that some of Taylor's songs seem to be similar to other hit songs. Maybe its coincidence. She's had several big hits that have had a lot of airtime but she has several albums of songs. If some percentage of all songs sound alike, her music's popularity is providing ample opportunity for us to observe those similarities. Here are a couple of examples of songs that I found to be similar. Lorde's Royals was a top 100 hit when it was released in 2013 When I first heard Taylor Swift's 'Blank Space' a year or two ago I was surprised by its similarities to Royals. Here are the YouTube videos so you can compare. Recently Taylor released "Wildest Dreams". It was so similar sounding to Lana Del Rey t
