She is a good model because:
She truly loves and values her parents and brother.
She doesn't have any children with baby daddies.
She is incredibly generous and donates huge sums to food banks and other charities all over the world.
She is - by all accounts - an amazing employer who treats everyone with whom she comes into contact with respect and kindness.
She's a loyal friend.[/quote]

^^^Agree! All of the above.[/quote]

“She’s a good girl loves her mommo
Loves Jesus And America too
She’s a good Girl  Crazy bout Elvis
Loves horses and her boyfriend too.”

And her popularity will be "free fallin" soon.[/quote]

Really?  How so?  Oh, nvm.  I see that was just wishful thinking on your part.

I wrote the Tom Petty lyrics.  I don’t think she will necessarily lose popularity, but you do have to wonder how many more people there are out there to convert to her fan base.  She doesn’t appeal to everyone, just like the perfect “good girl” in Tom Petty’s song didn’t appeal to him. At a certain point, she will run out of places to expand.  She can still make money off of her current fan base and run circles around everyone else, but recruiting a huge segment of new listeners/fans will require her to distort her “good girl” image in a way that would be damaging to her.[/quote]

She doesn’t need to expand her base. She can go deeper with her existing fans and offer more products…

Do you think she will be able to transition as her fans outgrow the era of glitter bodysuit and boyfriend songs?

Eventually fans age and leave a lot of their "young" music behind. This is what happened to Katy Perry after she took a break. When she tried to come back her fan base has aged out and left her. I think this will happen to Taylor if she does not develop a more mature point of view.[/quote]

Her last four albums were a mature point of view.[/quote]

I am talking about maturity from a standpoint of being 40-ish and potentially married. The coy boyfriend and hinting about secret lover songs are not going to work over 40. From what I see that's still what she does.[/quote]

I'm 57, long married, happily married, looking forward to retirement, and I enjoy a lot of her music. Who cares? It's still entertainment, and a lot of people find those themes entertaining regardless of age or life circumstances. The themes might still be there, but her lyrics and how she presents those themes have vastly changed. It's pretty cool to see.[/quote]

"Whether I'm gonna be your wife or / Gonna smash up your bike, I haven't decided yet / But I'm gonna get you back“- Taylor TTPD

“Your wife waters flowers, I want to kill her”- Taylor TTPD

This is not a healthy way to process anger, not mature and the theme of vengeance still undergirds her work.

I agree, she will still be able to make money off fans regardless, but can you explain how these lyrics are matured from her earlier works?
