The fact the new generation is drawn to her is the reason why her success is so enduring. Tbh who cares if her fanbase is mostly white girls? That doesn't make any other demographic wrong for listening to her. The real problem I see on ATRL is that the members make it seem like appealing to teenage girl for example necessarily means your music is "lesser" because it's just full on misoginy. Or to imply that because she has a mostly white fanbase she's a white supremacist or racist etc... THAT is the problem. 2 3

Given the low Black percentage, I think it's safe to assume the number is skewed more towards white Hispanics and Latinos than non-white ones and given the fact that the former already outnumber the latter to begin with, that means the overall numbers of white attendees most likely IS around (or slightly above) 80%. The amount of mental gymnastics because her white fanbase is totally on par with US's
Kodak Energy Posted October 16, 2023 Posted October 16, 2023 10 hours ago, Kimbra said: It's very odd how Taylor has no black appeal AT ALL. Even Celine Dion has a bigger black base especially in Jamaica. She has black appeal though the black audience gave her a 6m opening weekend for a concert film. Those are cute numbers. She’s just proportionally more popular with Asian audiences and women.
Villas Posted October 16, 2023 Posted October 16, 2023 I will never understand why white latinos are considered POC by US Citizens 1

thetea Posted October 16, 2023 Posted October 16, 2023 was expecting to see more men, since she has such a large gay following but other than that, this list checks out. it doesn't come as a shock that she doesn't have a huge POC following, the type of music she makes, and the way she markets herself doesn't appeal to POC people in the same way it appeals to white women. this is no drag, this is why she isn't as popular in POC communities like mine. there's also nothing wrong with that, there's no point trying to drag her with this. 1 1

Hence our legends are the likes of Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, Jimi Hendrix, Beyonce, Prince, Tina Turner, etc. Not...Taylor Swift 4 1

Obsession Posted October 16, 2023 Posted October 16, 2023 (edited) She has no appeal with Black people, if you've been following box office long enough, you know that's a very low percentage for Black people. But it's to be expected, she has never particularly reached out to a Black audience - Reputation sonically might have tried to do that, but it failed, and I think coming from a country background hurts her in this regard. But it's not some hurdle she needs to climb, her audience is big enough to not pander and I don't think any efforts to do so at this point would go over well. Edited October 16, 2023 by Obsession
Bloodflowers. Posted October 16, 2023 Posted October 16, 2023 My theater had a surprising number of males. I can't tell which of those were boyfriends that were dragged along by their girlfriends and which were homosexuals, except for the two 30yo homos sitting behind us singing with their girly lil' voices to I Knew You Were Trouble 1
MingYouToo Posted October 16, 2023 Posted October 16, 2023 She has little to no appeal to most black people and that's been established, nor does she need to commercially. What's weird here are users trying to spark fanwars by using black people as a scapegoat for thinly veiled bait, acting like her lack of black audience makes her inherently inferior as an artist is crazy while also completely undermining her pull in Hispanic and Asian demographics. There's no drag to be made here, Taylor minds her business and doesn't try to step foot or appeal to people that are resistant to her output. 7
KMO Posted October 16, 2023 Posted October 16, 2023 (edited) I’m going to say this very delicately, but Black folks historically have rooted, and shown up, for artists with great, strong voices Edited October 16, 2023 by KMO 1 2

Bloodflowers. Posted October 16, 2023 Posted October 16, 2023 Also on topic of race, Taylor's Eras concert had very nice black representation. From black dancers to black backup vocalists to the little black girl fan who Taylor hugged during 22 performance. To say Taylor doesn't do anything to reach out black audience is ridiculous. She does her part to make her black fans feel welcome in her space and feel represented. 1 1
AxelFox Posted October 16, 2023 Posted October 16, 2023 Y'all are going up in arms about the diversity data but I find the age data to be more interesting. If the 13-17 segment is really 32% that's very telling. Keep in mind that while 17 year-olds might go to concerts alone, the 13-14 year-olds most definitely don't; therefor inflating her attendance and overall numbers significantly. Which should not really be all that surprising since anyone who's not a swiftie knows who the core audience that connects to her alleged 'oh so profound, intricate & extraordinary songwriting' is. 1 5

It’s not like black people only support powerhouse vocalists. Taylor just doesn’t appeal to the greater black community and that’s ok. Don’t frame it like we only support Mariahs and Arethas
WildHeart Posted October 16, 2023 Posted October 16, 2023 (edited) Yes Taylor appeals to both Gen-Z AND Millennials with her timeless catalogue unlike some of your faves who have no reach to younger generations, no need to fume about that Edited October 16, 2023 by Artistofthedecade

She got 6m opening from Black audience 99% of your fav won't even get 1m from same demographic You all are just hateful atp

Umm little to no appeal and still getting 6m opening from them Btw 6m is huge. Most of your fav will struggle do even half of that

Also, Taylor Swift is one of my favorite artists. I am also Black. It is fine that she doesn't have mass appeal with Black audiences - but she doesn't. You guys need to divest from this idea that just because someone says she isn't #1 at something (and in this case, something VERY minuscule), it's considered hate. It's not hate to say Taylor is more popular with white people, she's a white woman whose career started in Nashville, that's like a very simple fact.

You might not know this but POC is more than just 1 demographic Look at the stats once again. She is huge in Asia , is that not POC to you all??? Oh wait I forgot ATRL erases Asian representation cause their faves are nothing there 2
