MUCH-LOVED... AND SWIFTLY FORGOTTEN

Taylor Swift The Life of A Showgirl

- 

YOU can't knock Taylor Swift for her career.

She's built a global brand with millions of ardent fans and her lyrics bashing ex-boyfriends have delighted a generation.

But how many of her songs could pass the old grey whistle test? Which ones could that imaginary record company doorman hear once and then whistle?

Huge hooks and memorable melodies are not her field.

Why would she care though? Taylor's 12th album, released last Friday, is already No1 across the globe.
