[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m still going to disagree on comparing Swift to Britney. They are not comparable. Britney was a dancer and entertainer first; Taylor is a songwriter and musician first. She has no living peers because the only people who have come close to what she’s achieved in her career with sales, awards, etc are dead. Her peers are Michael Jackson, the Beatles, Whitney Houston. Her peers are NOT Olivia Rodrigo or Billie Eilish. They aren’t even close to the same stratosphere she is in.

Most of her songs are not about ex boyfriends. You are probably only aware of some singles if that’s that’s your interpretation. Which is fine- you’re not a fan- but it’s reductive. She has songs about childhood, her relationship with her mom, her relationship with fame and self doubt, about feeling left out and being a loner. And- who comes next after her. Listen to Clara Bow from her recent album. She is well aware she is one in a string of “it girls” and will eventually be replaced. Someone WILL be the next it girl, she knows it, but her kind of achievement in music won’t be easily replicable. [/quote]

Olivia Rodrigo is not there yet but she will replace Taylor Swift at some point.

I’ve spent thousands of dollars on live entertainment over the years. Most of the classic ballets.  Same with Broadway shows like Cats, Rent, a Chorus Line, plus dozens more. Dozens of  Non musicals like Proof, Art, A Raisin in the Sun (my favorite).  Alvin Ailey, Merce Cunningham, Twyla Tharp, Fosse for dance. Operas, circuses.  My daughter and I had some good times. My son occasionally did too.  My husband only occasionally.

I’m sure you’ve brought your children to the arts too but to sink $5,000 and up on one show is ludicrous.   [/quote]
