Yeah, she really isn't shocking at all. And never really has been either. But some are just set in their ways, she's evolved amazingly... I mean I personally don't like everything, but I can massively appreciate the evolution over the past 4-5 years. Very similar to Beyonce, but as a singular artist, I'd say Swift is slightly superior... but the Jay-Z marriage has certainly helped Beyonce attract higher glory in other ways.
Anything I've watched where she gets to talk or interview, she's quite insightful too.
