If she were giving a voice to a band with real musicians writing original music, she could be a rock singer. There's no shame in just being a singer. Not all members of a band have to be writing the music.
interesting! that's true, not all band members have to be writing the music, but I respect bands a lot more when at least one of the members writes the music. I think it's kinda sad if someone claims to have written all the songs when in fact they didn't (as in Taylor's case)

I think your theory that she behaves the way she does to reject the role and the job her parents pushed her into at an early age sounds very plausible. she's in the typical rebel teenage phase and if her parents had pushed her into music, maybe she'd be pursuing acting now? lol
