"I know I have good judgment, I know I have good taste. It’s funny and it’s ironic that only I feel that way"
About this Quote
The intent feels less like arrogance than preemptive defense. Carpenter frames confidence as something you have to manufacture in real time, because the world is always ready with a ratio, a hot take, a comment section diagnosis. “Funny” signals she’s in on the joke; “ironic” suggests the deeper sting: if taste is supposed to be validated socially (charts, critics, trends), claiming you have it while admitting nobody agrees turns taste into a private religion.
Culturally, it’s a savvy move for a pop musician whose career has unfolded under constant surveillance and comparative ranking. The line speaks to the post-irony vibe of contemporary pop: you can brag, but you have to wink while doing it. The wink isn’t just charm; it’s armor. By laughing at her own self-assurance, she stays likable while still insisting on the right to her own opinion - a small, defiant claim in an era that treats consensus as character.
