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.

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.

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.

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.

Really? What about Love Story, You Belong With Me, 22, Blank Space? She has a list of hits a mile long. If you want to talk about someone whose career will be over soon, look at someone like Katy Perry.

He should have said, "I would love to work with Taylor! I think we could do amazing things together!" and left it at that. It would have been far more gallant and would not har et this whole thing off.

I don't think Swift has ever dated anyone crazier than her before so this could be interesting.

Presumably Harris's best revenge would be leaking the version of the song where Swift sang the main vocals or even her demo of the song to him and showing how much he changed it and improved it. Unless her version really was great and he is just whinging because he is a jerk.

And even then. Who. Cares!

If Taylor had wanted to officially perform this song she should have done it. All this spatting back and forth with Calvin is stupid. They gave that song up when they gave it to Rihana.

Performers sing songs written by other people ALL THE TIME. This is not new. The one who gets credit for the song is the one who performs it and makes it a hit, If Taylor thought that she could have done better she should have done the song herself. She missed the boat and now to be making this song all about her and her loser ex is...pathetic. And I am a Taylor fan.

I agree.

I usually think Taylor Swift is very talented and a smart business woman. I, however, do NOT like the needy, attention seeking, backstabbing personality that is coming through the cracks in her public persona.

Take this story for example. Taylor and Calvin collaborated on this song.For whatever reason SHE chose to be credited for the song using a pseudonym. The song is performed by Rihanna and produced by Calvin. It is a hit. Now, AFTER the fact that she agreed to be credited for the song using a pesudeym of her picking, she is throwing a fit, going behind his back and announcing she wrote it.

To do...what exactly? Calvin never did not give her credit. He seemed perfectly happy to give her credit where due...he is annoyed that she had to drop it as an accouncement implying HE undermined her. Which, he did not.

Also, the interview she references where she was supposedly hurt...he may have exagerrated his desire to not work with her to cover for her? It didn't strike me as that bad. If they were dating and in love, he couldnt have had terrible intentions and nothing a simple discussion afterwards couldn't have solved. If she WANTED credit for the lyrics, she should have spoken up before the song was released and not try to use that revelation to throw shade at Harris.

I'm glad KIMYE, Katy and Harris are calling her out on her b.s.

This summer has been a publicity nightmare for Swift. Hence her trying to deflect the stories by publishing photo ops with her new beau.

If she doesn't cut it back a notch soon she is going to get the "Crazy" label that other performers (think Britney) have had to overcome.

Taylor is too talented for that. She needs to take some time off - away from the press and high drama. I hope someone close to her can talk some sense into her because she is OVER THE TOP.
