Taylor Swift may be the biggest name in the pop culture today. But even with that reputation, the 34-year-old could not do away with the fundamental flaw that has been every troller’s last resort. Although pointing fingers at Swift is one of the most audacious things keyboard warriors prefer to do, the roots of their stuntman-ship are a prevalent fallacy associated with her music. However, even without Swift clarifying her side, the pop star has renowned journalist Rob Sheffield pitching in for her.

Sheffield recently shed light on Swift’s artistic virtue with a bitter pill for the haters to explain why she remains a misunderstood star despite her superstardom.

Journalist Rob Sheffield recently wrote a book about Taylor Swift, titled Heartbreak is the National Anthem: How Taylor Swift Reinvented Pop Music, and sat for an interview with Variety to throw light on the popular subject of how people assume boys are the main characters of Swift’s songs. Negating the idea, Sheffield added, “it’s always the girls in the songs who are the characters.” From what the journalist understands, the boys of her music are nothing more than catalysts.

The boys are only there to get the song started, Sheffield says. Reflecting on his own experience, and the track, ‘Our Song,’ that made him a Swiftie, Sheffield talked about its conclusion, how Swift wrote “Our Song” in the end, and fans never knew whether the boy would be seen again but realized right away he had “served his purpose.” Sheffield believes boys are the characteristic trope who are “really just blank spaces for the girls to find their own identity in.”

Sheffield went on to explain this misunderstanding is a pull factor for detractors, but Swift is not one to dip her toes in the speculations.

In his recent conversation with Variety, Rob Sheffield clarified how he often used to flip a little whenever someone would say Taylor Swift’s songs are about boys—-something also associated with her 11th record-breaking studio album, ‘The Tortured Poets Department.’ Stressing how the main characters of her music have always been the girls, Sheffield went as far as to give air to his own perspective that he never cared about who the songs were about.

“I probably haven’t heard of this guy anyway,” Sheffield thought to himself before adding how Swift was probably writing songs about Joe Jonas when he could not even tell “the Jonas Brothers apart.” Sheffield feels her music is all about her, and her emotions. The male characters are probably nothing more than an “excuse” for the song. However, Sheffield did not take away that her songs are personal indeed, but the fact that they feel “universal” is what defines the Taylor Swift effect in its entirety.
