I'm kind of vomiting in the mouth a little over this comparison, to be honest.

I don't know what happened in Ms. Simon's case, since I've only heard rumors and nothing else.

But I'm pretty sure Ms. Morissette's song (or songs) are about an individual who took advantage of her when she was underage. From what I understand, it was a cause of her eating disorder issues.

I'm not saying Ms. Swift isn't entitled to feel pain or to express it, but to put her situation in the same dimension as Ms. Morissette's is almost insulting.

AYRT

I'm not comparing or talking about the reasons WHY those artists wrote their specific songs. My only point is that plenty of artists write not-so-thinly veiled songs about specific people (and some of them have later revealed who those songs were about), so it just strikes me odd when people make a big deal out of Swift's songs being about specific people. That's all.

As for Simon and Morrissette, well, the big thing with Simon is that a lot of people have theories as to who "You're So Vain" is about, but Simon's been tight-lipped for years. She told one person some years back and swore them to secrecy, last I heard, but the fact remains that people still wonder who she's singing about to this very day, since they know it is about a specific person.

And I did not know that about the backstory to Alanis Morrissette's songs, actually. The only thing I know about "You Oughta Know" is that she's since revealed it's about Dave Coulier from "Full House".
