Mate I'm not easily offended all good. I fired the first shot anyway.

Love your work brother. You make me think... Therefore... you are a teacher....

She seems pretty talented. I saw this clip from Seth Myers discussing about her hosting SNL when she was just 19

Here's her monolog.

Why is Taylor Swift so popular?
Cheers.

Blank space.

 

[Needaname]

Like her fans. Blank Space btwn Ears. Post of the Year Need a New Name

I've got a blank space, baby
And I'll write your name

 

[diedpretty]

She’s a clean skin and someone you would love for your son to bring home to meet parents
Produces songs that all hit the mark for her audience
I seen Gruen abc some time ago about her pull in the marketing arena and was interesting to watch
I have no idea how to search or try to link but it was a good watch

Everything you said also applies to The Wiggles.

Not sure if it's exactly what you meant but Wikipedia have pages on it. Comparing the phenomenon to Beatlemania.

This article provides some key statistics, revealing that 48% of her fans are male.

Meet the typical Swiftie: A white suburban millennial woman who may have spent $1,300 to go to the Eras Tour

Taylor Swift's biggest fan is a white millennial woman living in the suburbs. She might not make a lot of money, but she's ready to spend big on Swift.

The article proves that the people who write the articles have money..... not necessarily the truth

I don't think that is all that new, similar to one direction before her back through nirvana, Pearl Jam, guns n roses and all the way to the way to the Beatles.

The difference now is social media and the influence that has, the voice it gives to the swifties, one Directioners etc. She seems to be maintaining it across generations but I guess ACDC has done that as well.

Maybe to some extent.
I’d argue only Elvis has had as much reach. He did something the mainstream had never seen before. She isn’t doing that but has the same results.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

And never will. Its in the CIA files Elvis had a lot of reach. More than John Lennon. But Taylor Swift. She is different.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

She has more power than the both of them. How does that make sense?

Yes I’m talking about her influence on culture.
She went from a musical superstar to a cultural megastar and icon seemingly without much effort on her behalf.
The machine behind her is what interests me.

. . . so the other day in the wonderful masthead that is the Daily Telegraph, they had a double page "poster" of the swiffy.
It was smack bang of her 'gina. The whole double page was of her thighs to her belly button. And the main subject was her 'giny. Her sequined, sparkling 'giny. Sparkly things hold my attention.
Even by my standards . . . as a bloke that doesn't mind a nice 'giny pic . . . this was a tad unacceptable, especially for a masthead.
Then in today's masthead I saw the top third of what you would cobble together to end up being a complete poster of swiffy.
Nothing to see here . . . well of course apart from the first day. hehe.

Link? Asking for a mate

It’s her level of influence and popularity this thread is about, not her musical acumen.
I’ve always been aware of her, operating on my periphery for more than a dozen years, winning awards and releasing catchy pop songs. None of that is out of the ordinary and has been done 100 times before her. It was when Tool released Fear Innoculum that I really noticed her power. They knocked her from the number 1 spot and the screeching from her fans, music press and mainstream media was incredible. They were offended and I remember that clown Richard Wilkins saying on the Today show after she managed to retake number 1 from them, that “balance had been restored to the universe”.
The push to promote her is astonishing. I would love to see how massive the machine is behind her. The vested interests must be very costly.

George Soros,bought her entire music catalogue 4 years ago...the Carlyle group and co...that's why she has so much money...she will end up a political puppet ....
Her loverboy makes millions from Phyzer,he is the golden boy of the pharma co...
All I can say is do some research much available on the net...


For those wondering who Soros is...he is a globalist elite with Bill Gates Klaus Swabb and co

 

[innsaneink]

... and off we go, sharp right tangent

 

[KingRobbie]

George Soros,bought her entire music catalogue 4 years ago...the Carlyle group and co...that's why she has so much money...

She's been fighting against that purchase (backed by Soros, not Soros himself) since it happened and has re-released her albums so she has the rights to her masters again.

Has also called out the Soros family for backing this purchase before.
