celeb news Pollstar: Taylor Swift is biggest dominating artist in culture since prime MJ/Madonna

[illia]

Too lazy to watch the entire video but the video title is not a lie

[Dear Reader]

He made several points throughout the video. NO human being should have that amount of money to themselves. I loved the point he made regarding the merch. 

[Cruel Summer]

It’s true! Love her and don’t think that having crossed a specific wealth threshold is a particular moral failing on her part, but we should be actively fighting against a system that allows obscene wealth and income inequality to persist.

I am getting sick of Taylor Swift threads. Can @ATRL Administration create a Taylor Swift-only subforum? Is it possible? 

Taylor is the biggest artist right now so there would be tons of thread about it since she is on top of the news. If you are sick of her, then log off. Who are you for us to accommodate you? 

 

OT: The thing is, Taylor deserves her billion and is constantly donating to charities and paying her staff and crew very well. You can't say those to other billionaires.

@supaspazcan you make a Megatrhead about Taylor's peak and one about her being the biggest music act of all times?

This, seeing Swifties post revisionist takes on a daily basis gets on my last nerve. 

[Feanor]

It's definitely the biggest peak we've seen any artist reach this century.

[MidnightsAtPeace]

Yet he's contributing to her being a billioner, simply by buying merchandise with each merch drop, and buying her concert tickets 

[Feanor]

And it's a correct statement.  Billionaires should not exist. 

[Jay07]

I'm convinced the people constantly posting about Taylor genuinely don't give a **** about her music or art, they just want to brag about numbers and she just happened to be the biggest. I never see a thread about a song, a video or performance (mostly because they're mid) just threads about her being the biggest and selling the most SPS (whatever that is). Okay, you have the biggest one. Do you feel better now?

Ask him if he’ll stop buying her CDs, vinyl, merch or tour tickets though

 

[byzantium]

She has cute impact in the culture but does not have the numbers yet to satisfy this claim. 

[Heldenzeit]

I mean, I agree but will also buy another 4 vinyl variants of rep TV sooo... 

[KKW]

Not reading all that

No. Her fans are faking streams to manipulate her performance. You cannot compare Stationhead streaming to actual music consumption. Clicking “Play” and then muting your phone isn’t real consumption.

 

Taylor is undeniably massive, but she sold fewer albums than Stray Kids this year. Midnights is nothing compared to TF+M, Baby One More Time, Thriller, True Blue, The Bodyguard Soundtrack, Grease, Saturday Night Fever, Let’s Talk About Love, LZ4, Music Box or even her own 1989.

It’s been years, babe. At one point you’ll have to accept that Taylor’s level of success is something your fave never experienced and never will experience. Otherwise we’ll end up with more posts like the ones bragging about Circus being ahead of reputation and claiming Lover would never pass Femme Fatale

 

[OrgVisual]

The Beatles achieved all that in just 6/7 years of their career, so one of the years must be bigger. We just weren't there to witness it

What does the ATRL community think?

What is the long lasting real life impact of an artist like Taylor Swift in culture? 

 

Let's get real for a second. What we can see is that she's achieved a level of success because she is a skillful master of business. She has succeeded to sell her narrative in a way not many have done before. Monetary speaking, yes, she is on top of her game. 

 

But as an artist, when it comes to her craft, how is she the peak of what an artist can achieve? 

Why would she be the peak of what an artist can achieve? Art is subjective, so that question will never be answered.

You delusion after all these years is just so funny to contemplate

The other girls just need to do something.
