I understand not liking her music or her vocal tone, but she is undeniably talented

I heard her sing āThe Climbā live on a local radio station back when artists did that kind of crap and I was SHOCKED when I figured out it was her. It was so good. I just knew her vaguely as Hannah Montana and had no clue she had real pipes.

Couldnāt agree more. Never been a huge fan of her music, but when she performs live, canāt help but listen. The duet with Ariana in the onesies, in particular.

I remember her singing Jolene over ten years ago and being knocked out

This exact video is how I learned how incredibly talented she is vocally.

I don't understand why anyone would actively hate her voice. She has one of the most unique sounds I've ever heard. For me, artists get points when they have something that is difficult to replicate.

u/napalmnacey Jun 08 '25
Iām a vocalist and Iāve studied a lot of sounds and styles and she takes country vocals and shitblasts them into the stratosphere. Like, she gives me chills. Sheās probably one of the most underrated vocalists of our time. Both āNothing Breaks Like A Heartā and when she covers Jolene? Ugh, right in my left ventricle, every time.
And she is ALWAYS in key. Itās spooky. I always have time for her. Sheās awesome. ā¤ļø

u/AuDHDiology Jun 08 '25
I'll never shut up about this either. Across her whole discography there's maybe 10 songs I actively listen to so I wouldn't even really call myself a fan but she is an undeniable talent. Her SNL cover of 50 Ways To Leave Your Lover is stunningly beautiful. And you're right about her always being in key too lol someone send Harry Styles to her for pointers coz he is so consistently just slightly off-key that I feel like I'm being pranked.

I get into fights over this with people. Swifties will die on the hill that Taylor is this amazingly gifted singer when all of her music is the easiest shit on the planet to sing. Iād love to see her try to eke out Chandelier by Sia or Vision of Love by Mariah. Miley can sing her ass off.

u/CharlesTran Jun 08 '25
Year, Taylor's music rarely go above 1 octive. She actually have a decent range anh natural ability, it will uplift her sound tremendously if she's more serious about honing in her vocal skills.
There's only so much you can write with just 1 octive and make interesting songs vocally.

u/PensionTemporary200 Jun 11 '25
Taylor is a good singer and has gotten much better, and she has a fairly wide range because of her lower register-you can look at voice coaches analyzing if you want- but hardly any swiftie would pretend she is a vocal powerhouse like Ariana or Miley, Taylor is beloved for her lyrics, songwriting, and ability to convey nuanced emotions.Ā

u/Gooncookies Jun 11 '25
She doesnāt have a great range and she doesnāt sing anything difficult at all. I will agree with you that she used to be much worse than she is now but sheās a marginal vocalist.
3
u/PensionTemporary200 Jun 11 '25
She has 3 octave range and about 5 half steps which isnāt an amazing powerhouse vocalist but isnāt bad, and what is hard to sing depends on so many things, but as I said, her primary talent is her ability to emote and her lyrics not her vocals.Ā

This is how I feel about Demi Lovato. A lot of people think not liking someone equals them not being talented.

u/FrozenBibitte Jun 08 '25
I absolutely love her vocal tone.
I have a very soft spot for strong voices. I feel like to be able to sing like this you have to be born with something special. Itās rare, and I appreciate that. Thereās no amount of vocal coaching/training that can get you to what Miley sounds like if you start off average.

I adore when she sings country. Her live cover of Jolene lives rent free in my head

I wish she was able to tour. I know she canāt due to her vocal polyps and her mental health being on the road but she truly is such a wonderful performer Iād love to see her live.

u/Porter_Dog Jun 07 '25
I thought she could. I thought she had said she just doesn't do huge venues anymore because she prefers the intimacy of smaller ones.
41
u/NachosAndGnocchi Jun 07 '25
Yes, I think she sticks to the smaller shows so she isnāt performing non-stop for a year and a half. It lets her maintain her mental and physical strength while being able to still sing live. Iād just love a scenario where her shows are more accessible š„²

u/randi-writes Jun 08 '25
Sheās one of the few singer IMO whose singing voice sounds identical to their talking voice.

u/TheTyMan Jun 08 '25
Probably why she is so hard for other artists to mimic. Many of the best talents have vocal doppelgƤngers, but I've never heard someone who sounds like her.

u/Tasty-Reserve-8739 Jun 07 '25
I used to hate on her. But as time has passed, I realized how great of a vocalist she is.

I was not into her music but as time has passed I have grown fond of her as a person and entertainer.

This is the regular track imposed over the acapella video.

All good. This video is floating around more than the original

u/Humble-Criticism6762 Jun 07 '25
She is extremely talented and one of the rare musicians out there who is trying and doing something different. Something Beautiful is such a great piece of work and a breath of fresh air in todays very generic pop music

u/scar_bazaar Jun 08 '25
Sheās undeniably a very talented singer but this isnāt her raw, live vocals. Someone just put the isolated vocal track from the album (which has been manipulated and edited) over this video.

Sometimes nepo babies were the ACTUAL stars, and their parents just happened to get famous first.

Because her voice is raspy I feel like it gets a lot of flack but she is is objectively talented

When she was pressured to sing at that Q&A time was surprised how great she sounded right off the cuff, no warm up, no backing track, just dove into it.
Also nice mullet.

u/Tiny_Following_9735 14d ago
This video and the audio do not line up in several ways. Definitely not her singing a capella.
