Rundgren Dismisses Swift as 'Apotheosis of Mediocrity' Amid New Album Release
Veteran producer Todd Rundgren criticized Taylor Swift in a Vulture interview, calling her the 'apotheosis of mediocrity' and claiming she 'ruined music.' He argued that the rise of female pop stars was a market response to men spending money on video games in the 1990s. The comments coincided with Swift's release of 'The Life Of A Showgirl: The Encore' and drew mixed reactions from critics and fans.
