If this site weren't 99% populated by snobs, there would be at least 25-30% of positive definitions. Taylor Swift makes pop, yes, and maybe not the best, after all. But she can sing (listen to the acoustic versions of her songs, thank you), she can strum the guitar, she has stage presence, and she manages to move hundreds of millions of people (which, I understand, is not necessarily synonymous with talent, but on the other hand, neither is being listened to by a bunch of losers who think they’re the shit); Swift's pop is cheerful, it's fun music, you listen to it and it puts you in a good mood and that's it; she's never claimed to be Aristotle in music. Anyone who completely trashes her is either a snob or simply envious.
