base talk artists/celebs that taylor swift made famous?

[flashfox]

Anyone associated with a famous person gets somewhat popular

the replies, lol. she didn't acknowledge olivia's existence before she had already bagged one of the biggest billboard hot 100 no.1s of all time (according to billboard)

 

i can see it for conan. he got taytay's co-sign before having any mainstream success

Olivia Rodrigo

In a fair sense, I’d say:

 

1) Ed Sheeran - he was blowing up outside of the US in 2011 with +, I believe, but Taylor fully endorsed him during the Red era in America by letting him open for her Red tour, collaborating with him on a single on that album, & talking about him publicly. His era after this (x) was his breakthrough era in America in 2014. She definitely introduced a bunch of Americans to him for the first time.

 

2) Jack Antonoff - he wasn’t known on a name basis until he worked with Taylor a lot. As far as I know, Taylor is the first pop girl to ever work with him on 1989.

 

3) Joe Alwyn - no one knew who he was before she dated him.

 

4) Travis Kelce - football fans can seethe on this one. I get that Travis was huge in the sports realm before her, but she absolutely opened up him to a new audience of people solely because she dated him. I had no idea who he was before this Fall.

 

5) Aaron Dessner - I had never heard him prior to his work on Folklore/Evermore. Maybe someone can prove this one wrong for me. I guess The National was popular with indie audience prior maybe? But she definitely made him more well known.

Saying anyone else is kind of a reach imo

The OTH love making threads about Taylor but also complain about the number of Taylor related threads 

[LoveInStereo]

She put Garden Song on a playlist & Phoebe’s audience exploded. She tweeted about Kelsea Ballerini when she was just starting out & it had a similar impact. Many of her opening acts already had fans but their popularity grew exponentially after touring with her. Anyone saying “nobody” is either speaking out of ignorance or truly OTH

The ****? 

[WEEKND]

Not people saying Kanye when prior to the vmas he had a 5X platinum album in the US and Graduation had outsold both TS début and speak now in the UK and his album was gold in Japan 

 

not counting the fact that he had number one hits that he both produced and performed. Taylor didn’t have any of those 

 

 

y’all be saying anything

Phoebe is a great one to name, Taylor definitely made her famous

Hmm that makes sense because 1989 was definitely kind of inspired by CRJ 

[Kiss It Better]

Nicki Minaj

 

[Raspberries]

She helped get Nicki her first true smash with Super Bass

 

Shawn Mendes got a smash with Stitches right after he opened for the 1989 Tour

 

She (and 1D) helped Ed get off the ground in the States

 

Olivia Rodrigo is basically a Gen Z clone of Taylor

 

Nothing New helped Phoebe Bridgers get known outside of indie circles

 

Jack Antonoff

 

Joe Alwyn

Katy Perry was the biggest pop star on Earth in 2013-14 until 1989 came out so stop. 
And Jake was a movie star with Brokeback Mountain even before her debut. Try better.

"She’s the first person who recognized me as a producer. A lot of people are afraid to sign off on something that isn’t done by a proven person. I had written lots of songs and produced them, but they would always sort of go somewhere else,”

She didn't exactly make Nicki famous, but she had a huge role in Super Bass smashing which is what made Nicki's career really take off 

[Digitalism]

If you didn't know these people before why are you paying you're internet connection?

Taylor was kinda late to everything

All this thread proves is that swifties only listen to Taylor 24/7 and don't know about music

Because saying kanye, aaron and phoebe is plain ignorant

Anyone saying anything other than her boyfriends and Jack Antonoff.... Jack is not really a celebrity but as an artist/producer he's famous because of her.

 

I knew all her opening acts before they opened for her (ed sheeran, shawn mendes, conan gray, sabrina carpenter, gracie abrams, etc) and very rarely did any get much more famous directly bc of her. That's actually insulting to those artists and the songs they had that made them known.

[perpetual novice]

the people saying kanye are giving extreme musical illiteracy 

[Safe&Sound]

Greasy Abram or whatever that nepo baby who sang in cursive and gain popularity by covering Taylor's songs in her concert

[JoJo]

Joe Alwyn and Jack Antonoff are the only correct answers

Olivia (Taylor is one of the main reasons why she smash out of nowhere and Sour’s success is heavily support by Swiftie)

Taylor was not one of the reasons why DL was a smash. This is just untrue
