I am not her fan but I don't see the need to bring the accomplishment down either. Do I think she is doing something musically revolutionary? No effin way. She is not using melody in new, creative ways such as The Beatles, nor is she creating complex masterpieces of narrative, taking elements from sophisticated musical pieces such as opera, a la Queen. No, she is not an instrument virtuoso nor is she a great vocalist. She is not a Michael Jackson type of performer, she can't dance, she looks rather odd on stage compared to a consummate performer like old Britney and yet, here she is. In the average terms of what a pop star is, she is nothing like it. She didn't even ***ualize her image and maybe that is what makes her road here interesting, in a different way. It was her vision, her work ethic and consistency what brought her here, not her big voice or her impressive stage persona, it was commitment and how she put the spots together. She was true to herself. She was dressing like a Disney princess, while all the other girls were wearing something very different. She was singing about prince charmin while everyone talked about the club. Her albums, except for Folkmorr, have never appealed to me, but I respect someone who stands their ground.

Now THIS I can appreciate... I wish Swifties themselves would talk about her more like this instead of "omG TeN son<Gs NUmnbEr 1nnn!!"

I don’t think she’s basic. I would listen to Taylor all day long instead of some freaky Gen Z meme of a song. 

Good for you Grandma

she does NOT have the X factor,

According to YOU, which is not a fact but rather an opinion. She announced a "pre-save" for her stadium tour and people have been waiting for HOURS because of the demand.

I am not a fan but she deserves her succes. It is honest music that is written and performed by Taylor. She works hard and is constantly writing, recording, she is involved in the visuals, everything is authentic artistry and I get why people love that.

Yes, she's somehow a very anti-pop pop star.
Probably the less-Madonna-ish of them all.
Besides Reputation era, she was never "fierce" or "avant grade."
However her "basicness" is probably the foundation of her longevity.
Because she's set to be related to not to be worshiped.


I read an article years ago that said she's the Britney of country music.
No, not sonically or visually.
It's that they both gathered an audience of fangirls industry didn't know existed.
And for years, that audience has kept being explored, renewed and adjust.
I once thought she's gonna flopped hard after Lover era.
But the surprising Folklore apparent extend the horizon of her audience.
And with 2 following re-record of her best albums (That's debatable though, lol), the new generation got introduced to her older works, too.

Her music might but her damn clever brand execution never disappoint. 

Totally agreed. First, LOVER was nausea inducing, imo. From the Carebears aesthetic to her "me!" Constant screams and spelling dizzying act, I  was horrified and I was not the only one. I truly think her Folklore and Evermore records showed a different side to many people, other than the vindictive, repetitive, annoying songs against Kimye had presented. Still, I have encountered many indy artists with songs as good or even better than the ones in those records, which takes me to think that besides what I mentioned about her disposition to be herself, also her presentation with fans have been her key points.

I have heard real ppl and even on internet clips about encounters with many celebs and she, literally, seems to have impeccable reputation. The interesting thing is that, she is the only person you consistently find to have only positive stories with fans. Actually, if anyone has a negative encounter with her I would very much like to know, because I have not found one yet.I think this has helped her immensely. People really take it seriously and fight for her as if she were their mother or sister. I can't understand taking it so personal, but I do know people feel very lonely in general and everyone loves to feel like they are noticed and seen.
