Todd Rundgren believes Taylor Swift has "ruined music" and is the "apotheosis of mediocrity."
He told
@Vulture: "Lady Gaga, she's a real musician. She's a classically trained piano player. Taylor Swift doesn't do anything particularly great except grow hair. She's not a great singer. She's not a great songwriter. She's not a great dancer. She's a role model for what was a very young generation of women, and now for those women's daughters as well, because it's mothers and daughters going to Taylor Swift shows."
