Taylor Swift
Why is she so relevant and influential if her voice and music are super generic, they've given her a ton of grammys when her music is much less relevant than for example katy perry (who hasn't won any by the way), miley cyrus, lady gaga, selena gomez, and lesser known female singers, i personally don't know any of her songs beyond shake it off and cardigans contrary to the female singers i mentioned that i often hear them on the radio and i can recognize their voices even if it's a song that's unknown to me.

Again, why is she so relevant and influential in the industry?

She mastered the art of marketing to millennials who grew up with her music, and having a victim public persona

>and influential
howso?
i like her but I don't think she's influential at all. influencing what?

she's at the end of her career and she's cash-maxxing, so she's everywhere she can be generating revenue.
she has good songs that are popular for a reason
sad and weird that's her concerts don't have live music tho, but it doesn't seem to bother people (except me) *shrugs*

Why is she literally unable to have her mouth fully closed in any single photo

She understands that people connect with stories and drama more than they connect with music itself. She'll have a very public romance and subsequent breakup, which will all be very turbulent and dramatic. Then she'll write an album about that. Women listen to the album and go "omg this about that guy she was dating!! I read about that! OMG this is just like MY relationship with ex boy friend omg! hehe we are NEVER EVER EVER getting back TOGETHER xD"
It doesn't matter if the music is mediocre. The music only exists as a conduit where the artist and the fans can connect over shared dramas. Taylor Swift has mastered this.
This is true of most music btw. Just look at the retards on this board gossiping about musicians all day.

This is what modern music is fundamentally about, and it's the reason AI music will never take off with the people who are actually interested in music. Because the music itself doesn't even fucking matter. It's about the artist and the fans engaging in this shared narrative experience. Taylor Swift turned herself in to the "literally me" meme for the majority of women and that's why she's the most famous artist of our age.

Total disagreement with every post so far. Hate the endless questions here. Ridiculous, naive and foolish. Will never listen.

God I hate Taylor Swift. It's literally music for little girls. I would hesitate to even call it music, music is art but this shit is mass produced factory production line trash designed to make as much money as possible. It's disturbing also since the fact it is music aimed at little girls how much of the fanbase are actually 30 year old womanchildren who refuse to grow up and emotionally mature. My ex was one of her mega fans and I wanted to stab screwdrivers in my ears every time I had to listen to it. Since then one of my criteria in looking for a new relationship has been specifically "does not listen to Taylor Swift". God I fucking hate Taylor Swift

Her albums are full-scale, quasi-fictional autobiographical novels. She has this way of flirting with cliches that would otherwise be cringe (like the football thing, it's SO cliche), but turning them inside out, and then affirming them in a way that makes people feel joy. It makes people (mostly women) feel good.

Well there are themes of childhood and adolescence, but I think her fans experience it as a comfy nostalgia feel.

When they were advertising that, I stumbled across a giant advertisement for her. It wasn't this, but it looked kind of like this, and I had this distinct feeling that I was Ryan Gosling in Blade Runner looking at that giant hologram of that woman looming over him in the cyberpunk city.

OP here.

I want to make something clear: I don't hate Taylor Swift. It's just that every once in a while I see on my feed that she's winning things or making a lot of money, and I wonder why I never listen to her music on the radio, memes, or TikTok. That's all.
