Why is Taylor Swift called the music industry?

[Blackout2006]

Just generally curious, why is she called that?

[Adriannn]

 Because she is one of the few who can actually sell millions of records 

Because of how savvy she and her team are

Because she is one of the greatest lyricist of our generation

Because she constantly seeks ways to improve her artistry

Because her fans and the bunch of haters that will comment below in this thread keep her relevant

So is Michael Jackson, Madonna, and their contemporaries considered the music industry as well? I mean, they all in their hey day sold millions of records, their teams were savvy, have massive fanbases, and are critically acclaimed for their artistry.

[Look But Don't Touch]

Literally no one calls her that

[britney_rocks]

[ALBAVEASP]

It's just her avid fans exaggerating her music career like calling Britney, "Godney", or something. 

[Jordan Miller]

Cause she holds immense influence. This is Jordan Miller and thank you for listening to my Taylor Talk. 

[RadicalOptimism]

Cause she’s a bully. The bullied became the bully. The fact that she sends her fans to do her dirty work is so off putting. “Better do what Taylor wants or you’re about to be put on blast by her and her fans and be a news story”  Success comes at a price though  sad how this pandemic opened my eyes

Because

 

she changed streaming rules for artists and always advocates artists rights ...

re-recording her music to reclaim her masters will become a thing 

she has changed the music industry time and time again

[bbbsss]

Cause she sold her soul to the devil and music industry is the Devil himself.

I don’t think many people really understand what Taylor Swift has done to the music industry. 
 

That’s why I respect her.

Absolutely, they totally ruled and that’s why they achieved a legendary status. It’s just that the interviewer happened to use that title with Taylor. 
The fan base did not coin it, it was that interviewer, quoting a magazine.

You call her ‘mama’ 

[BUWYGF]

Because she's not  it's just how her fanbase likes to call her. But every fanbase does the same thing because every fanbase thinks the highest of their artist. That's all.

[S jones]

Because she plays a victim all the time. 
 

she is not music industry. Her music is catchy and average. Music industry is much more then TS crying for her millionth boyfriend.

She really does. Britney was heavily influenced by her

[ICouldntThinkOfOne]

Because she sells more than any other artist releasing, continously breaks her own records, recieves both fan and critical acclaim, fights for the rights of other artists leading to change, engages her fans etc etc.

 

People keep saying she "plays victim", how and to who? But ultimately, that doesn't sell music enough to make her a sales force, touring force or win a critics response.

[Spicechinodiva]

Name me another artist that debuted in the 2000s, that can do a stadium tour, win album of the year 3X for 3 different genres. 

 

She also proved that sticking to just one genre of music is a thing of the past. Cant wait for her to resurrect heavy metal Music as only she can. 

[Phonography423]

She literally can sell actual albums as well as streaming. She can sell out stadiums with no problem, an amazing songwriter, she keeps fans interested by having Easter eggs in her videos and interviews, constantly makes her fans feel included in her career, and is very smart when it comes to promotion. Plus when it comes to support her fans put their money where their mouths are. They don’t support her online and not keep that same energy when it comes to buying her albums. She’s doing what artists were doing prior to 2010 and that’s sell. No one except Adele is doing that. And drake doesn’t count. He’s a streaming artist.
