[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s hilarious that her dad putting 1 million in her career when she was young means that her dad is responsible or controls her career. Guys, my family was pretty wealthy growing up. My dad could’ve easily afforded to put $1 million toward a music career. Guess what. Even if he did, I seriously doubt I’d be worth 2 billion by age 36 and I seriously doubt I would’ve had the biggest tour we will ever see for generations. There are millions and millions and millions of kids who don’t amount to any successful career in the industry yet have supportive parents who are trying to make their dreams come true and investing time and money in them. But it’s a one in 10 million chance that you end up with a long-term, lucrative and successful career, and for Taylor’s level of success it’s more like one in a billion. [/quote]Yep, I’m sure tons of parents that we don’t hear about our pouring money into their kids to become famous, weather it’s America idol or whatever to make their dreams come true but they aren’t Taylor so the hater jealousy people that think she doesn’t write her own songs had to find something else wrong with her[/quote] Most normal parents, even though they are supporting their kid on American Idol, aren’t arranging secret parties for their teenager to generate interest, or creating a web page about their 12 year old daughter to support her music career. They exploited her, even if at 12 she said she wanted to do it. I can’t imagine doing that to a tween. Even beyond that, most parents aren’t buying up their child’s albums or have the savvy to negotiate business contracts for their child or claiming that they are their child’s therapist. [/quote]Oh, my. You missed the point completely. She has talent and stage presence and the ‘it’ factor and if it was so easy to manipulate the system by throwing parties to generate interest and have their kid become famous and rich lots would do it but they aren’t Taylor. Acting like Taylor has nothing to do with her success is not just naive, it’s a very dumb take [/quote] Do you really think it is okay to create a website about your 12 year old? Do you really want to engineer your kids life to the point you are inviting screened fans over to have parties with her? She herself has said she was lonely and would follow fans to see what normal kids lives are like. I can’t imagine doing that to a child. Yes, some people do it for sports, but that doesn’t have the same trade offs of fame and money for privacy that Hollywood/the music industry does. And if you are okay with all that and think it is normal, are you currently doing it for your kids?[/quote]You continue to miss the point. It’s not that her father didn’t play a role but to continue to act like her success is a manufactured machine is being naive at best. Most of her success is because of her and she was just inducted into songwriters hall of fame. Let me guess, her dad writes the songs for her? Come on, now[/quote] Joe wrote her best songs. Others have been produced, so you can’t hear what a bad singer she is. And she barely sang on the Eras tour. No one who can only play the same few chords is a great songwriter. Lol She steals song parts as has been discussed before. She is good at parasocial life and creating a throng of fans who don’t care about her limitations. [/quote] +1. Her team has created millions of weird "Disney Adult" type of fans and milks them for all they're worth. It's like a cult.[/quote] + 2.[/quote]
