Why doesn't Taylor Swift have an iconic performance?

[Jamie Lynn Forever]

Why doesn't Taylor Swift have an iconic performance like Beyoncé, Madonna, Michael Jackson, Gaga, Britney etc?

Strange that a woman with her star power and stats has never been able to deliver an iconic performance. Will she ever have her madonna vogue moment? Her vma 2003 madonna britney xtina kiss moment? Her Gaga vma 2009 moment?

Like I genuinely cant even name a taylor swift performance that is iconic. I guess the most iconic moment in Taylor's award show history would probably be the Kanye West stunt. 

 

Her tour gross is so high because soccer moms know they can bring the kids and whole family would seeing anything explicit or R rated.

Let's not pretend it's because she's an incredible performer

weak performer 

no stage presence

cant sing well, no resonance, you can't even hear her when she has backup singers and playback

cant dance well or at all

lack of charisma

she just walks around, struts and poses 

why?

 

 

[Look But Don't Touch]

I think I know the answer:

 

 

She just sucks 

 

[redacted statement]

She does. You're just too biased to acknowledge that. And the delusion of saying that Taylor can't sing, lmao.  She does have stage presence, and what's impressive is that she can command the stage while strutting around, posing, and dancing awkwardly. Not everyone can pull that off. Furthermore, what was super memorable about a lot of her tours (for example, Speak Now, Red, 1989) were the super stacked lineups of special guests. The fact that she was able to have such amazing chemistry with the most random of collaborators says a lot about her charisma and stage presence.  And her outfits... I mean, if you look at the 1989 tour, she wore such basic garments that could barely even be considered outfits, yet they were still lowkey iconic.  Plus, you can't compare Taylor with the likes of Britney, MJ, Katy, Beyoncé, etc., because flashy performances have never been her shtick. Her whole thing has always been intimacy and relatability. Not everyone needs complex choreo and some huge-azz production behind them. Y'all sound like boomers when you complain about modern popstars not being exciting and iconic. Sorry, but the music industry has changed. The way people consume music has changed. Fans' expectations and tastes have changed. There's no comparison because the music industry and pop music landscape are completely different from what they used to be.

It was iconic when she kissed Madonna on stage.

She low-key looked really hot that night. That was one of the only few times I actually found Taylor hot.

She isn’t a good performer at all. She still performs like a disney teenager would.

Put some dayum respect to her name and shut your mouth. She can sing

 

[Adriannn]

The whole Reputation Stadium Tour on Netflix is iconic. 

The Grammy Museum performances shut mouths when they come and say she can't sing. 

Btw, do I notice a hate theads series.

The bias in this thread is so on point.

The AMAS performance of Blank Space from 2014 says hello, I was at the opening night of the Iconic Reputation stadium tour, she can sing, she probably has the best interaction with the fans, the surprise song set list, there's a reason why she's already has a cultural impact. 

 

Your bias and hatred is showing sweetheart. Literally you and @Greg_del , yes I'm calling you out as well, boo. Are always the right on time to slam Taylor swift and you both never fail to surprise me, with your lame cheap shots and weak arse shade. It's pathetic and right now it's very very beyond pathetic, from you two it's more like here we go again, typical of these two. 

 

That's how funny this post is, not only sad, bias, and hateful, but it's just typical of you, and it's actually reductive at this point. 

End of rant.

Only the first one, but it was my first time knowing the last two

[Blackout2006]

Also wasn't there some thread like this on ATRL 

[Blackout2006]

The truth is she is not that great of a performer or can't command attention the way the others u stated can but that is okay. She has stilll got the good music to cover that up, so i'm not complaining

That's why Katy stole her dancers back.

She doesn’t have any iconic performances IMO. But this comes close. This was a great performance.
