[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She is not a particularly talented singer but she has managed to become very talented in writing breakup songs that appeal to teens. She has surrounded her herself with a good team and has parents with connection and money and the willingness to back her.

Fame and fortune is a bit random. It isn't directly connected to skill or talent or even effort. Most of it is luck plus having the right people around you and the money and connections to make it happen. If you look back over history, this is nothing new.

She is the Kardashian of music. Kind of why she fights with them so much.  They both created products that sold and had the people around them to make it all happen. [/quote]

Minimizing her career and what she’s accomplished this way is crazy. Just screams insecure. [/quote]

I am not minimizing her success. She has been wildly successful. I just don't think that everyone who is successful achieved that success on talent, including Taylor and many others. I can find 100s of better singers on youtube, talent wise. They aren't wildly successful but when it comes to music talent, they have it. Talent and success aren't directly linked. Just like I don't think the Kardaishains are all that talented despite also being wildly successful. Once you are a product or brand and have success with that product/brand, you can sell anything and it will be bought, no matter what quality it is. Be it an album or a lipstick or a perfume.[/quote]

This is true and saying so doesn’t smack of “insecurity.”

Some will love everything Taylor does. We are in the fog of Taylor (like fog of war), and only time will tell if the songs hold up.

They’ve already held up[/quote]

Funny, I don’t hear her early songs, like Love Story, on the radio.[/quote]

Tim McGraw is on country every hour.[/quote]
