The reason for this person’s popularity still escapes me...
She’s about the only White popstar left.
She writes and sings catchy songs that younger girls can identify with.
Fame is fleeting. She is on top right now. Just like Madonna was in the 1980s. She is very good at marketing herself.
She keeps pumping out simplistic lyrical poems that appeal to teeny boppers with money to spend on her trash.
She’s the female equivalent to KISS.....................

I spent a bit of time wading through her song catalog to get some education. I’ve a musician and composer although I am a bit of dinosaur.
But I understand how Madonna got where she is. Madonna writes catchy music AND lyrics and came up a new style that is her and recognizable. So did Michael Jackson. Singer/musician/composer. Whether one likes their sort of thing or not there is no denying they were huge global successes and lasted for a long time - not flashes in the pan.
Taylor builds on Indie music with simple mediocre songs and her contribution seems to be focused on the lyrics and then collaborates with musicians to co-write lots of songs. Taylor seems to network well and collaborates remotely a lot. She excels at getting lots of “lowest common denominator” stuff out there. Not much to criticize as it is blended homogenized swill that people like. She is filthy rich at a young age.
Taylor is a good singer and youngsters like her so she is a fad now. And kids are like sheep. Whatever is the “thing” they jump on board ... until the next shiny object comes along I suppose.
