[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like her music but find her personally so annoying. She comes off as so immature, and what is with the 'squad' following her around? She acts like a middle schooler. I don't think she is as sweet and innocent as she tries to make herself appear.

Did you know that some people at her concert last year at Nationals Park got picked at random to see her backstage or get better seats?

Most artists don't do that type of thing, or you have to pay a lot to get backstage for a 30 second photo opp.

[b]All of that being said, I think she has peaked in terms of albums.  She reminds me of some of the artists from the 80's, one or two CD's and they are done because they started off at too young of an age.  I know she has sold millions of albums, but I just don't see her being successful in the music industry for much longer.[/b] [/quote]

LOL, ok well you're the only one then because she was the highest paid entertainer last year according to Forbes. And obviously she has dominated the headlines all summer with tales of her new romance and parties, etc. Doubt very much she will be leaving the public eye anytime soon.[/quote]

Taylor Swift is just a pop star- her songs get old in a minute (Some pop stars end up being artistic and listened to beyond their 'time ex. the Beatles) BUT and this is a big one- Taylor Swift taps into the zeitgeist - she is like an unwitting Trumpist.

She stands for WASP female identity in the music world as compared to say Beyonce (i would rather die than listen to Bey but she will probably be remembered as cultural icon 60 years from now- her music is ART,) or Rihanna or hiphop.   Now that even boybands are becoming integrated and ppl like the Kardashians are out there (i/m sorry but the Kardashians  are not 'quite' white, no-one in Augusta GA thinks they are white). Taylor Swift is the poster child for WASPS at a time when they feel increasingly embattled in their own society and culture.  I'm sorry but musically she's nothing. It doesn't matter if she writes her lyrics and melodies- its too bubblegum to last except that she  appeals to latent feelings in mainstream Americans that they don't even really know are there. Not just WASPS, other whites as well.

I mean i still blast whitney houston but I doubt that anyone will remember any of her songs except Bad Blood, i can't even name one off the top of my head right now and I listen to 99.5 more than i'd like to admit.[/quote]

Well, I disagree with you.  I think that Taylor's songs are well written and tell a story that people will find interesting down the road.  Just because she is WASPy doesn't mean that she's irrelevant.  Her story is just as valid as anyone else's.  I personally love her songs and I know most of them.  And I'm a middle aged mother of boys who do not listen to Taylor (well for the most part).

I also think that because Taylor leads a relatively clean life, is hard working and naturally creative and talented (and intrinsically driven) that she will be performing and adapting her music as she gets older.  We're already seeing her do that.  I look forward to seeing great things from Taylor.  But she needs to stop this petty nonsense.  So unnecessary and it really detracts from her image[/quote]
