I hated it less than I was expecting to.

No. That's an opinion.  Anyway, I'm not a big fan of Taylor Swift, but I kind of like the song and the video.

Reality disagrees.

She's hella cute and that's definitely one of her better songs. Pretty good actually. I like her none-country song a lot better.

But she's still no Beatles though :) and she don't have to be

Well, I don't think it's an opinion. Taylor writes her own music and uses instruments. She puts her heart and soul into her music and she easily would have been the hugest star in music in any decade in the US.. Especially in the 60s and 70s cause of her true song writing.

That's just one person's opinion, and I'm sure the person who wrote that is in their 50s or late 60s and they're completely intolerant to anything new. It's ridiculous to say people from the 60s and 70s are the only greatest artists in history. That's just being a total music snob and ignorant.

Anaconda is so bad and ridicoulos that its actually great! Much like how Sharknado is so stupid and ridicoulos that its funny, Anaconda is essentially the same thing for music. You just can't take it seriously.

To OP: I actually heard her song on the radio today and even though I dont really like Taylor Swift I thought the song was pretty catchy and good. 

And that list is automatically VOID due to not having Mariah, Whitney, Celine, or even Adele, who are considered the greatest vocalists of modern day time. All 4 of them can outsing 95% of the people on that list, incuding the Beatles, who IMO are amazing song writers, but very very very weak singers.

Its alright. I know this album will be her first official pop record...not sure how I feel about that being a casual fan of hers and all. Red was amazing though.

To be honest, I didn't like Shake It Off at first now that I think about it, but after the 2nd or third listen I was hooked.
