What’s her biggest flaw as a songwriter?
To me, it’s rhythm and meter. Especially with Midnights-onward. She just tries to squeeze too many syllables into the music. It’s like she goes “ok, here are the lyrics and here is the music and let’s smash these together”. Feels like she’s often fighting to get a phrase out in time.
I feel like she could benefit enormously from actually taking some college poetry classes.
