Quote: “There’s enough oldsters in her fan base to keep her selling out arenas until she doesn’t feel like doing it anymore. “
That is the thing about her music. It is her singing about herself. And it is her singing about topics that people outgrow. My daughters used to love her. Now? They have outgrown her music.
Most music is about the songwriter. That’s the stuff that comes from the heart, that’s the stuff that speaks to people, because there is a commonness of experience. Heck that’s where the timeless classics come from, The Kinks See My Friends might be about Ray and Dave’s sister’s funeral, but once you’ve buried a loved one, that song is about YOU. Your daughters might think they’ve out grown it, but wait another 10 years. Part of the growing up cycle, dropping stuff from your youth and rediscovering it. I know plenty of people that are older than Swift that love her stuff. She ain’t going away any time soon.
