base talk Is Morgan Wallen the new Taylor Swift?

[Sazare]

There are many parallels between the burgeoning career of US Country star Morgan Wallen and Country/Pop singer taylor swift, not only in terms of their career beginnings, but also their personalities and talent levels. Consider these similarities:

 

- Both are singer-songwriters from Appalachia whose first albums are country-pop

- Despite no pop crossover hit, both ‘Dangerous’ and swift’s self-titled debut were among the biggest albums of their respective years (as well as the year after) in the US, though both continue to struggle outside of the US market.

- During their first eras, both espoused violent conservative language (Morgan Wallen with his use of the n-word and the other with her virulent homophobia)

 

Will Morgan Wallen continue to follow in his foremother’s footsteps or will he surpass her?

Yes, they’ve got an awful lot in common.

Nope. He is very local, Taylor was the first country star to have international success since Shania.

The next frame of the picture she's literally hugging the girl. Why would you post this bs fake picture?

I think he is the new Lady Gaga.

 

Huge first era, and (hopefully) plummed in his several next era. And (I wish) become Fad too.

Accusing someone of racism when they are not is literally what the world doesn't need in 2022

You guys want Taylor to be racist so bad. Not happening I fear

Never once was that insinuated in the original post. Please stay on topic.

He's probably another Sam Hunt/Thomas Rhett/Kane Brown

 

Hot country boy for 2-3 eras and once a younger guy comes, they will ditch him

Can't wait for Morgan's 1989 era

While Sam's success was huge on debut, Wallen has stomped on him in a way it's not even comparable, Sam is the Selena Gomez to Wallen's Taylor Swift quite literally Morgan is huge huge already 2 top 10 singles on billboard with Wasted On You charting for 40 weeks and the new song of his 3rd album debuting at #6  He is a variant of covid at this point.

Yes, because this thread is completely serious and not at all the work of a desperate troll, what with Taylor's history of "virulent homophobia" and all

"Teardrops On My Guitar" was a crossover hit peaking at #7 on pop and #6 on Hot AC

Only a modest hit in the grand scheme of things, failing to go top 10 on the composite charts. This is much like Up Down from Wallen’s debut, which went top 50 on the Hot 100.

Maybe if the racism incident didn't happen he could have had multiple crossover hits like Taylor did during her first 3 country albums

 

Also during Fearless (her second album) Taylor had a top 2 hit in the UK with Love Story. Morgan doesn't have that worldwide success with Dangerous (his second album).

 

But when it comes to country success he's more like this generation Garth Brooks or if you want to compare him with a female he would be more like Carrie Underwood who is more local.
