Wait i thought she was the author of Harry Potter, not a singer..
It's probably closer to why people like trump only the swifties are probably less inclined to kill people that don't like Taylor swift.
Or people really found her whiny breakup song phase relatable. That's probably what got the ball rolling. Then it's just like the Beatles or something but with objectively worse music.
I really don't like any of her songs that I have heard. To be fair I can't recall ever liking any songs that were ever on the radio during the time I have been alive at least.
Are you a woman that’s went through a lot of break ups? I’m assuming no otherwise you’d already know the answer.
She is authentic. That’s the difference.
Can you elaborate on this?
I suspect that's why it's so easy to pull the half second glances in all of her music videos, that she actually believes in what she's singing.
There's also a kind of " I can't believe I'm here" drive to all of her performances, although it is odd that she's so often has multiple hers inside one video.
But is this an expression of her naivity and therefore childlike belief in anything she comes up with and sings until a couple years later?
Also, do you know how much of her catalog is personally written and how much of it is supplemented by songwriters?
OP, can you explain why any other celebrity whom you do not follow is popular?
if not, i think your question is unfairly asked
you are framing this as though fame is a question with a simple y=mx+b formula for an answer, as though pop music isn’t a billion dollar industry of hundreds of thousands of creative professionals (not just musicians) vying against one another for their opportunity to make a mark.
with full respect and appreciation for your curiosity, it’s fine to “not get” a person’s music, but that doesn’t mean you are owed an explanation for the entire raison de’tre of the pop culture industry.
People like her cuz they're told to like her 🙃
Sheep need a god to worship. There have been thousands before her; madonna, elvis, beattles, whos music i could careless less for, and there will be thousands after her
