I wonder what a Taylor Swift concert looks like, how many different segments of the population does she represent?-She started a little bit country but morphed into pop and
is a rare singer who seems to be liked by everyone. Does she have a sexual appeal in concerts? Do teenage girls admire her, do teen boys have her poster on the wall?
Its gotta be mass mob /cult retardation.
Definitely hot but yea , cant understand the hysteria, other than like a sports team going to the playoff finals. Thats when everyone jumps on the bandwagon. Then come the riots lol or victory party
She's a mediocre lyricist, a below average vocalist and her music is extremely generic. She's nice to look at which I guess accounts for some of the straight dudes that attend her concerts. It's sad that more talented female artists who write their own music and lyrics as well as play their own instruments aren't as popular as her. There's no reason why PJ Harvey isn't more popular than her if we are basing it strictly off talent.
shareMediocre? Below average? Generic? No, no,and no. She is clearly a talented and above average lyricist and vocalist.
shareSong 1:
'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
Shake it off, I shake it off
Heart-breakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
Shake it off, I shake it off
Ooh, we called it off again last night
But ooh, this time I'm telling you, I'm telling you
We are never ever ever getting back together
We are never ever ever getting back together
You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me
But we are never ever ever ever getting back together
Like, ever
Band-aids don't fix bullet holes
You say sorry just for show
If you live like that, you live with ghosts (ghosts, ghosts)
Band-aids don't fix bullet holes (hey!)
You say sorry just for show (hey!)
If you live like that, you live with ghosts (hey!)
Hm, if you love like that, blood runs cold
But they are memorable, even if you don't like them.
"Shake It Off" is an ironic title because...you can't. That song is such an effective ear worm that I half wonder if it's part of some kind of government mind control program.
Any chorus with a repeated line is often memorable. I can't remember who, but there was a rapper who said that's all they do because it's easy for people to remember it.
shareIt's not just the chorus though, it's the whole song. It's a hook that goes for 3 minutes. I don't even like the song, but I tip my cap to the craft.
shareoh my gosh... worse than i thought. I listened and I thought it was shit.
shareA very funny post SJ
shareI think hes trying to say, if you take piano lessons and music theory or even a music reading class…..pop music isnt that hard to deconstruct compared to other music artist that you believe has more talent involved
I would like to add that touring has to be tiring if youre an old fart not in good shape
She writes her own songs, plays an instrument and sings. She was the one to knock on doors at a young age, if her bio is true. Some of her songs are catchy.
Furthermore, her re-recording songs to stop a large company from taking advantage is smart.
I'm not a "fan", but I respect her for going after what she wanted, work ethic and defending her rights.
No one was, or was going to be taking advantage of her.
It seems like taking advantage of her loyal fans for petty vengeance and greed.
"Why Taylor Swift is rerecording all her old songs
The whole process began, though in 2019. That’s when the news broke that Swift’s old record label — Big Machine Records, which she left in 2018 — had been sold to music megamanager Scooter Braun. The sale gave Braun the rights to all the master recordings for Swift’s old music, meaning that anyone who wanted to license one of Swift’s old songs to play in a TV show or movie or an ad would have to ask for Braun’s permission and pay him a licensing fee. And given that Braun used to work with sworn Taylor Swift enemy Kanye West, Swift was devastated. In an emotional Tumblr post, she called the news “my worst case scenario.”
Not long afterward, in an interview with CBS’s Tracy Smith, Swift said that she planned to sidestep Braun by rerecording everything in the songbook that he now owns, meaning all the songs she had released prior to her August 2019 album Lover.
When Swift switched over to Republic Records in the fall of 2018, she negotiated to own the master rights to all the music she creates going forward. So by rerecording her old songbook with Republic Records, she will own the copyright to all of the new recordings. The move would give licensers the option to work directly with Swift and her team rather than go through Braun. And that, in turn, would allow Swift to reclaim some command over her music and how it’s used."

Thanks. I'm very familiar with the story.
shareThe rights to the recordings is actually different than the rights to the written songs themselves. So who owns the written rights?
shareIf you find out, let me know.
shareI've tried understanding it myself, because there's nothing about her that appeals to me. She's pretty, and can sing, but her personality needs work. She also has a good PR agency, that I can tell from how well she's promoted. It should be noted, however, that the country music community now doesn't like her anymore because of her changeover to pop music. They see it as a form of betrayal.

Mostly teenage girls/young adult women like her. For me, she's nostalgic and I grew up liking her music. I wouldn't go see her in concert, but I enjoy revisiting her songs sometimes. Even my dad, who is quite critical of music, found her 1989 (not the year, the album's name of course) album to be great.

shareMost middle-class women and girls seem to like her, if they're mid-forties or younger, and not just white women either. I'd assumed the crowds at her concerts are about 90% female, with the occasional straight dad or boyfriend looking like he'd rather be somewhere else, and I think this picture confirms that!

She doesn't seem to have much of a gay following, and if she's planned to market herself exclusively to women, then she's done a great job! She's dominating a large market, not even Beyonce has her numbers!
