byzantium Posted March 10 Posted March 10 She is an incredible talented songwriter who has a legendary discography and works harder than anyone else in the game.

Storm653 Posted March 10 Posted March 10 3 hours ago, BrentB said: The Aryan princess did that! Also, plenty of her casual fans and stans, from across the globe, look to her as this safe, non-polarizing benchmark of Americana, beauty, youthfulness & femininity that they model aspects of their own life after. Acts like Lady Gaga, Katy Perry and Ariana could never reach her trajectory since their material & image is too provocative or polarizing to the GP. Like Ariana could have EASILY taken her if she had less racy songs & kept that Lolita imagery & was less R&B influenced. And Katy (despite having plenty of Kids Bop hits under her belt) is still largely considered as a sex symbol of the early 2010s who got that career-ending haircut in 2017 & went "woke." And obviously acts like Beyonce will always be 2nd to her in terms of overall popularity due to obvious reasons (many that I've already previously mentioned). Same thing verbatim applied to Britney Spears in the late 90's and early 2000's. In fact, many Republicans were convinced that Britney was on her side just because of her image as an attractive Blonde from Louisiana.
tonyle1911 Posted March 10 Posted March 10 She succeeds in both music career and keeping her celebrity status grow. Her music connects well with her personal life, which is also why once there are tabloids about her personal life, pop fans will really look forward to her new music to see what stories like from her side (just like TTPD). Also, when she has a new song or FTV, people will try to connect the songs to whom she written about. That’s pretty smart and genius marketing move from her. besides, she has built a very large and loyal fanbase of different age. Adele had a huge impact in 2014-2016 thanks to 21, but she didn’t try to build a fanbase, which contributed to her decline with 30. she is also really hardworking as a woman with billion dollars in hands. Feeding fans with albums after albums. Concerts with multiple dates, each night she performed for more than 3 hours, singing 44 songs. While keep working on new songs at the same time. lastly, whether many of you tried to deny her talent, especially as a songwriter, she is indeed a genius songwriter who writes acclaimed songs that still achieves great commercial success. Look at Anti-Hero. Who could make a song with such lyrics to achieve the type of success it achieved? Not many I guessed
lonnie Posted March 10 Posted March 10 If she's so far and above all female artists, why do her stans keep comparing her with them then. Why not stick to arguing with the male artists's stans then? 2

I don't know I see a Drake stan every once in five months or y'all could squabble with that one Tevin Campbell stan. Save your words and fights for the male artists who are the only ones that can compare to Taylor 1

LOTF Posted March 10 Posted March 10 6 hours ago, Blue. said: Because she managed to do something that no other pop artist has before which is being both a current and legacy act. Usually pop artists hit a peak, and after then they keep releasing music but only hardcore fans keep following them as the new generations move to current acts. Madonna, The Rolling Stones, U2, they keep touring massively but they cannot have a current hit. The whole re-recording move managed to reconnect her with her long time fans while her new stuff smashes and connects with the new generations, so she has it all: hits, catalog sales, huge tours, you name it. It's not the first time I see this take and I disagree. Don't know about others but during the Music and Confessions on a dancefloor eras Madonna was obviously scoring current hits while her legacy 80s hits were appreciated

I'd even appreciate it if it was good content, just mindless bragging no wit, no humour, not even a smart wise crack just how many stadiums sold streams streamed first weeks sold like damn make it entertaining at the very least if you're going to endlessly talk about her success 1 5

Worry about you having the taste and cultural awareness of a 10 year old. So if they have nothing to worry about, why bring them up in the first place? This has nothing to do with "cultural awareness". Someone can have a different opinion than yours about who has the better music discography without you having a meltdown 8 3

alestevens Posted March 10 Posted March 10 Because Taylor's eras all have an identity of their own, so people treat them as if they were different entities. With other acts, once people get tired of listening to them, they go listen to someone else that exudes a different vibe / has a different sound. With Taylor they can just listen to another album to do that! 3

Taylor the first and only person to capture a different sound with new groundbreaking imagery with a new era 2 2
Dante Silva Posted March 10 Posted March 10 A generation never exposed to truly charismatic artists working through inner conflict and with something to say (presented as art) perceive Taylor to be the real deal when all she ultimately has is drive and ambition. 1
