Holiest Dreams Posted March 8 Posted March 8 Personally, the fact that she focuses on music and doesn’t have 739382 different brand deals or branded items (perfumes, cosmetics, etc) is a plus for me. It makes it obvious how music is truly her passion. That’s why it sends me when people try to make her the face of capitalism. Like, no denying she’s a huge capitalist and loves money, but most of her peers moved into cosmetics or are always doing brand deals for extra income. Drag her for variants all you want, which everyone else does too, but her music is where her economic focus is. Even with her merch, which is not very good quality sadly, it’s handled by Republic so it is what it is. At least she doesn’t go all out with it and has pretty basic merch items, which are actually priced reasonably compared to all other musicians’ merch (even though I’d still never buy that crap regardless lol). I hope she never changes this business model and keeps focusing on her music, rather than making money from non-musical avenues. 7 3

I hope she never changes this business model and keeps focusing on her music, rather than making money from non-musical avenues. I agree. I also appreciate that she never takes millions for a private performances like some of her peers. It's also interesting that she stays away from proper fashion partnerships . Doesn't go to any fashion shows. Doesn't let her makeup artist post what brand she uses. Doesn't do any commercials except for ones advertising her music/tour. I was listening to the podcast the Town about the Oscars red carpet and the host asked the expert about Taylor's street wear. And the expert confirmed that Taylor is in control of those outfits and there isn't any money exchanging hands. She knows how big she is but she isn't going to let anyone else pay money to take advantage of her fanbase. 1

To me, it’s just important that she feels passionate and interested in whatever she’s trying to sell, whether that be music, films, touring, Keds or polaroid cameras. It doesn’t seem like she’s ever really been that interested in fashion or makeup tbh, so it makes sense she wouldn’t go into that world. Her brand is also much stronger without that. But I wouldn’t be against if she really wanted to make a board game or something. 2

Lemon Posted March 8 Posted March 8 I am here for her to undertake board games industry. Actually, it would be such a natural fit for her and would go hand in hand with the music. 1

I wish she would hire better stylists For the better and worse Taylor chooses what she wants to wear ( from the town podcast). Her stylist buys some of her clothes based on her wishes but she’s the one making decisions. She has had the same stylist since 2009.

Well see if she's going to pivot away from music I think she should become an author of trashy erotica novels or a purveyor of expensive cooking oils 1
