I saw her in concert in 2015 before her tickets were insane and it was mostly because I wanted a good female celebrity role model for my daughter. Miley Cyrus--das not it. I also took her to see Selena Gomez. A lot of other Moms were at the Taylor Swift concert with their daughters.

But I find her songs kind of boring and yes, she's more average looking than Shakira, J Lo or Rihanna.

I don't understand thousands for her concerts. I'd rather travel with that kind of money.

I'd argue that her looks are an asset because she's above average, but not so far above that most women can't relate. Women can identify better with someone that is pretty and has relationship struggles, but isn't necessarily movie star gorgeous or super artsy.

Another factor is that she started when she was fairly young and has a legion of fans that has literally grown up with her. She has matured as an artist and her fanbase is like a snowball that keeps growing because rather than shedding fans through the years, her creative output is in lock-step with the tastes of her followers.

Lastly, she has more business savvy than most pop stars. Swifties like the girlboss thing because they can identify with that, at least in an aspirational way. Now, I don't think her music or performances are anything super special and I sure as hell can't relate to her subject matter, but I can see why a certain large, loyal demographic eats that up. It also happens to be the demo that tends to spend the most on concerts and music in general. Despite her parents literally buying a controlling stake in a record label, she has solid enough music and is smart with her public image and business dealings, ergo she's super successful. However, I still cringe when people try to compare her to, say, Michael Jackson.

She's significantly more talented than a lot of the famous musicians these days. A lot of women probably find her stuff "relatable" or some chit too I suppose.

She's also definitely more than a 5/10. Body is really meh, but her face is still very attractive.

Shes a hit with young girls. Once you have that demographic, life is on easy mode. My daughter is obsessed with her. I took her to a tournament this weekend and all she wanted to play was taylor swift in the truck... so i played johnny paycheck instead lmao.

she writes songs in the way that phil spector did.

if you break her chit down, it's very similar to like tom petty, bruce springsteen, neil young, steve miller band, even the ramones srs

quality easy chit to listen to with lyrics that her generation seems to relate to on a ridiculous level.

she's one of the GOATs like it or not. she got to the top of the mountain and it's her fuking world now.

She is the chosen one of the day is all. Reality is there is nothing special about her.

People are told she is somehow special so they think she is. Look at who her fans are and tell me its not just the herd doing as they are told.
"To be a warrior is not a simple matter of wishing to be one. It is rather an endless struggle that will go on to the very last moment of our lives. Nobody is born a warrior, in exactly the same way that nobody is born an average man. We make ourselves into one or the other."-- Carlos Castaneda

How much influence does she have? That’s one of the only vectors that matters.

those were flashes in the pan that didn't write their own music. you are out of your depth.

taylor has been a hit factory for at least 15 years now. showing no signs of slowing down either.

Music industry pumps out the same rehashed pleb nonsense over and over and people lap it up because familiarity makes human beings feel comfortable and safe. They create the illusion that this music is somehow special and different and people fall for it hook, line, and sinker. Popular music and the music industry as a whole is one of the biggest scams in human history, right up there with organized religion, american college tuition, and the female bikini. Now, imagine you're a religioncel who goes to an ivy league and thinks that's going to amount to anything, and plays taylor swift in their jeep wrangler while driving to the beach in a bikini top and daisy dukes.

Holy fuking schit.

Did you just say she has "matured as an artist"? Everything she does sounds the same, and is always about the same lame relationship issues nonsense.
