Not a musician, so honest question. Is her music actually bad from a theory perspective? I mean its unlikely to be ground breaking. But for pop, my assumption would be that it's more towards the upper end.

I know next to nothing about what actually make good music but man the moment I had access to music outside of the local radio stations I was blown away by how good music could actually be.

especially drums, idk if I could ever learn how to play them but it's easily my favorite part to listen to when they're done well

Even as a non-pop music hater I can't imagine going to a drumming class and wanting to play that all the time, it's just not a drum centric genre. Very few pop songs have prominent or interesting percussion.

I would imagine a drum class would be full of metal, jazz, punk, funk, etc. fans.

I honestly don't know if I've ever heard a Taylor Swift song in my life. But, let me take a guess.

Pop. I'm pretty sure she's a pop singer. I get the impression her fans are mostly young girls, so that's probably her core demographic.
"Modern Country", a.k.a. "country-pop". She just seems like the type who would do a pop song but add a bit of twang, a bit of acoustic guitar, and voila, she's mastered "country".
Hip-hop. I wouldn't be surprised if she released some so-called "hip hop". I really doubt she's be the one rapping, but someone that famous can probably just do a collaboration with a rapper, and sing while they rap. Just adjust the beats a bit, throw in a turntable (or a turntable-type sample), and you've mastered hip-hop. Unless... hmm... maybe her fan base is so white that she's afraid of offending them even with extremely mild hip-hop. In that case, category 3 could be "Rock", i.e. pop but with a bit more of an edge.
Hmm, this is a harder one. There are so many other genres of music, which one would be "the only other remaining genre" according to a fan? Probably not something too foreign, so not K-Pop or Latin. Probably nothing too old because her fans are so young, so no Jazz, Blues or Classical. It probably comes down to "Rock" or "Dance". I'm gonna go with Dance. It's pretty easy to take a female vocalist and emphasize the rhythm, focus on electronic instruments, etc.

Far from actually mastering "all 4 genres of music", my guess is that almost everything she plays is in 4/4, with maybe an occasional 3/4, and that it's almost always in a major key. How did I do?

I don't know much about genres, but I do know she started as a country artist and pivoted to pop later.

She's probably had some songs which crossed into Western, so all she had to do was pump out one grindcore track to get all four.

Honestly the Punk Goes Pop albums have taught me that some of her songs translate super well to heavier styles

Blank Space - I Prevail

I Knew You Were Trouble - We Came As Romans

You Belong With Me - For All Those Sleeping

I Don't Wanna Live Forever - Ice Nine Kills

Also honerable mention, Ice Nine Kill's cover of Animals by Maroon 5 is brilliant and also does a good job of making fun of how weird the original music video is
