Needs a BARF ALERT.
WARNING: do not read, this is negative knowledge.
Being blonde doesn’t hurt. Not being screwed up as the rest of them doesn’t hurt either.
Madonna could dance but singing is average. She stuck around by reinventing herself to the point where she’s now ugly.
I had an ex that told me a lot of these stars are a product of record executives taking photogentic types, providing them with the music and doing the rest. Madona, EnVogue, Spice Girls.
Taylor Swift has the talent and the smarts not to throw out f-bombs regarding Trump.
“Swift has demonstrated a deep sense that her fans are hiring her to do more than write songs and perform music. Her fans want connection. They want intimacy. They want to forge deep and personal relationships with Swift herself.”
Does anybody besides me think that’s weird?
An emotionally stunted 35 year old woman writing vapid songs for prepupescent girls. Very calculated.
She doesn’t make Country Music. It’s Pop.
This was true of the superfans of Rudy Vallee, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, any one of the Beatles, Michael Jackson, Britney Spears.
Swift is more successful than any of those first because of the advent of social media which creates the illusion of personal connection, and also her keeping her personal life under strict control. I think, however, she made a great mistake by not taking the next Super Bowl halftime gig, presumably because she wanted ownership of the performance--half the nation would have watched, it would probably have been the most-watched TV performance ever.
Out of curiosity I listened on the electric computer to segments of a couple of her songs. They were terrible.
It is amazing how much money people will pay to see someone in a skimpy skirt prance on stage. I realize she is semi-beautiful but I am not ashamed to say I don't get it.
I'd rather watch a recording of Minnie Pearl.
Isn’t her father her biz manager?
Another Tiny Tim story came true.
Toby Keith discovered her and signed her to his record label.
When doing it for selfish gains there is nothing amazing nor genius about it, just selfishness full steam ahead. She doesnt care how many young girls she has influenced in unhealthy, unhelpful and evil ways. Again nothing amazing nor genius about it, rather disgusting and a lot to answer for.
No mention of strategy for writing decent songs that won’t be forgotten in a week, but whatev.
Taylor Swift is relatively smart, and has had great financial advise from the beginning , particularly from her father who worked on Wall Street
