I’ve never liked the term ‘music industry’, but Taylor Swift is a perfect example of a manufactured product.

Now, its been twelve years since I sold my soul to the devil in L.A.
He said sign your name here on the dotted line and your songs, they all will play
He set up shop on Sunset, he put me up at the Marquis
He said “you want to sell a million records boy, you better listen to me”
He said “change your style, whiten your smile, you can lose a couple of pounds
If you want to live this life, you better lose that wife, do you need your friends around?”

And I said, no, that’s not me
Cause the biggest things in life are your friends and family

Nothing ever changes.

that's not really fair ... she has a talent for writing catchy pop songs that reliably sell to a certain market, so her career success is mostly self-made

it might not be your kind of music, but she's a force in the industry

“Taylor Swift is a perfect example of a manufactured product.”

You don’t know much about Taylor Swift. As a child she pursued her dreams in music and she studied hard. She also got the support of her parents who took her to Nashville and helped her get started in music.

Swift obtained and gave up a development deal with Sony because they wanted her to do covers of other people’s music and not record her own music.

I am not a fan of her music but I do like her as a person. She works hard, she treats people right, and she refuses to act like a whore which most other women in music do.

She’s one of the few popular musicians who I can trust with my kids. I guess that’s the best thing I can say about her right there.
