If white pre-teen girls disappeared from the world today, Taylor's career would end the next day

She absolutely is overrated! 

 

Specially when you take in account that she can't sing, she can't dance, she doesn't command a stage nor can she perform.

 

She's not desirable like a Rihanna, Beyonce or even like Britney in her prime and girls don't want to be like her.

 

Her best talent is songwriting and even that is mid at best and not anything to write home about.

 

She has benefited a great deal from her complexion.  We all know that if TS was a Black or Latina woman she wouldn't have half of the success that she garners and that's a FACT.

 

Pretending that racism doesn't exist in music would be silly to think. Racism is in everywhere and as a Black or POC, we cant escape it. Should we stop talking about racism because it makes U uncomfortable? 

 

That's why I loved Aretha Franklin because she kept it 💯 and didn't GAF the politics in music. If she didn't see it she didn't SEE it. 😅

 

 

 

EDIT - Apparently I got a WP for this post 🙃🙃🙃

 

The OP asked a question & I gave my honest opinion 🤷🏾‍♂️ I didn't break any rules so I'm baffled why I got a WP?

 

I see admin & The mods are still letting butt hurt fans abuse the report button.  

 

Something needs to be done because U shouldn't be able to report a member because U wasn't praising your fav.   People should be able to give honest opinions without some derange fan reporting U because they didn't like what U said about someone that they don't even know & have no idea they even exist LoL

And do you think Britney Spears would've blown up the way she did if she wasn't also a conventionally attractive young Blonde but instead looked like Kelly Price? 

 

I'm always confused when posters here claim that Taylor Swift being a White woman is solely responsible for her success and longevity as if the whole Pop industry isn't literally filled with White women?

Hell, even many successful Latinas in the industry are technically "White" skin tone wise like Shakira, Gloria Estefan, Christina, and Rosalia.

 

Sure...there's colorism and it's sad that people still have to deal with it. But if being a White girl was the only thing Taylor Swift had in her favor, what stopped Whiteness from keeping Katy Perry and other White female pop artists from flopping or losing hype?

 

It's just such a lazy criticism. There's been some valid criticisms regarding Taylor's music or live performance but this is easily the laziest critique of them all. 

Zara Larsson is a Blonde White woman literally from Sweden and she has great music but she still has a long way to go when it comes to success. Taylor is not any "Whiter" than many of the other MPG's stanned on here.
