An Instagram user shared a video pointing out three tracks she believed were similar to earlier songs. The first was the title track, The Life of a Showgirl, which she compared to Cool by the Jonas Brothers<\/a>. While some agreed, another user offered a different perspective, writing, \u201cThe Life of a Showgirl sounds like Brighter Than the Sun by Colbie Caillat, listen to it please. They\u2019re exactly the same.\u201d The Instagram user also compared Opalite to Circles by Post Malone and Wood to I Want You Back by the Jackson 5.<\/p>\n

Many agreed in the comment section. One comment read, \u201cWood is clearly from the Jackson 5.\u201d Another added, \u201cActually Romantic sounds like Beverly Hills by Weezer.\u201d Another wrote, \u201cWish List sounds like Glitch.\u201d Some internet users were more critical, with remarks such as, \u201cShe\u2019s sooooo out of ideas on how to make music,\u201d and, \u201cTaylor theft.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fans defend Taylor<\/p>\n

However, several fans defended the singer. One commented, \u201cIt\u2019s pop music \u2014 it\u2019s going to sound the same after a while.\u201d Another wrote, \u201cThe only thing that\u2019s even remotely similar is a little piece of the melody. Literally every artist does that, whether by accident or not. There\u2019s only so many combinations of notes we can make, bro.\u201d A third user quipped, \u201cWow, pop songs sound like pop songs.\u201d<\/p>\n
