[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't hate her, but the twee forlorn music is annoying and not age appropriate.  Maybe it's because she's lived in her dad's cocoon since she started. She should have more to do than the boyfriend complaint jam and secret Easter eggs.

I think the clock on this will run out once she gets married or has a kid. Look at Katy Perry.  No one wants to hear her perform "Teenage Dream" now that she's engaged with a toddler.  The boyfriend complaint songs will have to go once she marries.[/quote]

I don’t get this kind of criticism. I really don’t care if anyone likes Taylor Swift or not but the whole she’s going to be fine, people are going to move on is weird. The Beatles aren’t exactly pumping out new albums, either, but they are icons and people still listen to them and our kids are discovering them and I’m betting the next generation will too.

Eventually all pop stars slow down. Of course she won’t be constantly pumping out music like she has for the last 20 years, but she has an insane amount of songs people know, and love. She has a few more albums in her in the coming years. As grows older it’s going to be interesting to see her collab with  younger stars. She will probably reinvent herself a few times and I’m betting some of us will be going to see Taylor in her 60s just like Madonna.

Will she stay on top forever? No, nobody does. I don’t understand why that is a dig. It’s just a fact of life and I don’t see people saying that about other artists but for some reason people love to bring it up about Swift. [/quote]

I guess my question is whether she can do anything but the relationship bops. For many singers, that's their main material and it dries up with age. For example Fleetwood Mac made great record when they were all screwing each other and breaking each other's hearts.  They were still singing those songs in their forties and fifties.  There is probably not an audience for new material at that point.

So the question is whether the current library ages well enough for her to sing it when ahe's 45.  For Katy Perry the answer is apparently leaning toward "no." Maybe when Taylor is 45 her fans will still want to hear about her being in the bleachers in high school.  If they all enjoy her emotionally arrested mentality they probably will.[/quote]
