Thats a bit much- she is well past her ‘best by’ date
Driving around yesterday two different Rolling Stones came on the radio. Both songs came out in the late 1960s. Almost 60 years ago. IMHO the last good Stones album was Tattoo You.
That came out when I was in my freshman year of college.
I remember that because I still regret NOT going to see them when they played at the Carrier Dome @ SU. The Stones are now 80 years old and still playing songs they wrote in the twenties.
My point being Taylor Swift has become VERY rich playing teenage girl songs. She had the largest tour in history. Sold out stadiums all over the planet. She literally increased the GDP of the USA when the Eras tour happened. So much so that mayors were begging her to play a show in their city.
Even IF this album is a dud, she will still sell out stadiums in almost every city IF she decides to tour again in 2026. Maybe ten years from now she will sell out the big room at Ceasar’s Palace for five years straight. Playing all the songs she wrote when she was 18-30 years old.
Some can’t handle fame and wealth well it is it’s own world.
[Now she’s getting married to an actual man...]
A few years ago I would have put money down on her coming out as gay.
RE: Taylor Swift isn’t becoming better. She’s becoming stagnant.
Yes, BUT BUT BUT, This latest Album of hers is still a humongous hit.
Taylor Swift doesn’t release albums anymore; she opens weekends. Her latest film, The Life of a Showgirl, played for just three days and hauled in $46 million worldwide, turning the album drop into a full-blown theatrical event.
The 90-minute feature stitched together music videos, behind-the-scenes confessions, and just enough sparkle to make AMC’s balance sheet blush.
CEO Adam Aron called it “a triumph,” which roughly translates to “thank you for saving our concession sales again.” It’s her second blockbuster with AMC after The Eras Tour conquered theaters in 2023. Once more, Swift proved she doesn’t need streaming platforms… she is one, complete with popcorn and record-breaking box office returns.
So, she might go the way of Madonna ( as all singers eventually do ), but she still has ways to go ( until the next fad comes ).
If I’m listening to female pop music, I’m listening to Jo Stafford.
Am I thee only person who is tired of seeing her face and hearing her name?
She’s over exposed to a degree that has not occurred previously. The next closest might be the Beatles.
But the Beatles were all private and avoided the endless media.
I guess she fired the middle-aged Swedish guys who did the writing for her.
Her music is aimed at teens, which makes her appear emotionally immature, but she has a keen eye for business, so I think the music is her persona not the real person.
There’s a difference between being an artist and a performer.
Ms. Swift isn’t an artist. She’s a performer and a mediocre at that. I’ve said before she’s minimally talented and the only thing she really has going for her is a nice set of legs.
However she needs to grow up.
35 is way too old to be doing the “OMG!’’ teen age girl thing.
