In an interview with Vulture, Todd Rundgren shared his criticisms regarding Taylor Swift. Rundgren, who has a career of more than six decades as a musician and producer, claimed that there is an argument that Swift is ruining music. According to Rundgren, Swift represents the pinnacle of mediocrity, and he asserted that she is not great at singing, songwriting, or dancing.

He attributed female artists dominating pop music to men shifting their spending to video games. Additionally, Rundgren praised Lady Gaga as a classically trained pianist and a real musician.

Swift released an expanded edition titled The Life Of A Showgirl: The Encore, which contains four new songs. The album The Life Of A Showgirl received three stars from NME magazine. Furthermore, Swift released the lead single titled Patient Zero on September 25. The music video for Patient Zero was directed by Swift and features Dakota Johnson and Colin Farrell. The video will premiere at the MTV VMAs.
