Lagerfeld Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 I feel that the messages Madonna tried to send in her album Madame X, would have been much more well-received coming from an artist of Taylor's caliber. Taylor's popularity is at its peak and the political messages would have resonated with the GP and would be sort of a reputation 2.0. Thoughts? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bethenny Frankel Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 no taylor has no real artistry other than writing about men. taylor could never do a like a prayer, even a god control would be out of her reach. 7 2 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

State of Grace. Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 (edited) She already did that same year with The Man and You Need To Calm Down If you're going to mention an example of Madonna's political songs, at least use the ones from her early career not a TURD like Killers...

PoisonedIvy Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 Why on God's green earth would anyone want to pull off a Madame X? A Ray of Light or a COADF I completely understand, hell I even give you American Life; but Madame X doesn't need to be replicated ever again. 1 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquiddiamonds Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 whatever point madame x tried to make is everywhere in the news and probably in a way in social media feed (of course with political bias). i appreciate the message, but there's little subversion. we don't need taylor to sing about shooters to know they are around. her concert has probably been targeted by someone at a point too. there's true subversive music that sends anti-capitalist message and tries to make people think beyond boxes (like stereolab), but that has never been mainstream and won't ever be. most music with a message is just stuff we already seen floating around and feels familiar enough to be a hit (see also self-love and empowerment music) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tropical Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 The simple answer is no - Taylor Swift could not make a deep, politically charged album that highlights a number of cultures, global issues, and that puts her own celebrity and feelings behind those greater than herself to elevate the plight of those less fortunate. Taylor would also never take an artistic risk like that. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrattyBottom Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 Nah...I don't really think Taylor will make any strong politically charged songs in her career lol. She's very much "gay is OK! " 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
