SHOCKING NEWS: Pet Shop Boys’ Neil Tennant slams Taylor Swift’s ‘disappointing’ music: ‘No standout hits,’ popular thanks to tragic breakups… .Full story below
He’s tortured over her music.
Pet Shop Boys vocalist Neil Tennant is not a Swiftie, as he recently slammed Taylor Swift on the heels of her “The Tortured Poets Department” album release.
“She fascinates me as a sort of phenomenon because she is so popular,” Tennant, 69, said while speaking at the Guardian Live event “An Evening with Pet Shop Boys” in London on Monday, per the Independent.
“I sort of like the whole thing but then think, ‘Where are the famous songs? What is Taylor Swift’s Billie Jean?’”
He went on: “‘Shake it Off’? Is it though? I listened to that the other day and it is not ‘Billie Jean.’”
Swift, 34, dropped her 11th studio album on April 19, which included a whopping 31 new songs seemingly about multiple ex-boyfriends, including Joe Alwyn, Matty Healy and John Mayer.
Swift’s fans often theorize who she’s writing about with her lyrics and Easter eggs. She and Healy, 35, briefly dated last summer after her six-year relationship with Alwyn, 33, ended. She’s previously also written about Mayer, 46, Harry Styles, Jake Gyllenhaal, Calvin Harris and more.
On her latest, she also added in love songs about her current beau, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
“To have a successful pop career now you have to have a series of relationships which are amazing and then break up tragically,” Tennant said. “I wonder what the other half of the relationship feels about this.”
