Especially among under 35s. It is because of this, or is it in spite it?

No doubt about it, she's a phenomenon.

In answering the above, can her popularity survive 2024? NOVEMBER!!!

Taylor Swift is not a 2024 phenomena

Most of these so-called singers now would much rather be a celebrity first, and a musician second.

TS is the poster child for this.

I cant name a single song of hers, I won't even know her music if it were being played.
But with such a wide and passionate following, clearly she has an appeal that resonates with real heartland merica, and not to the delusional misfits.

Anyway zsa zsa, who's obsessed with merica celebrities of all ilk, will soon show up with a comprehensive guide covering her. Stay tuned.

I don’t follow or familiar with Taylor’s music but recognize that no one gets to her level of fame and fortune without being very talented.

Good question. Musically, she's like the pale Rihanna...although I hear they say she can actually write her own songs and plays an instrument. However, I nearly hurled when I heard her cover of EWF's September. She should have been thrown out of the industry for that alone.

Don't know a single song of hers. Well, lie dat. I think that crap song "Shake it off" is hers.

Taylor is not only an excellent singer, songwriter and musician; she is a marketing machine and good employer. I understand she gave 100K ea to all of her tour bus drivers. Currently, she’s the biggest celeb on the planet.

What an odd response.

But I must commend VIX; we haven't seen you in years big grin

I guess everyone, except XFactor, missed the political angle I was alluding to. Did anyone check out the link and/or read her response to her Dad to stay far from politics? That alone pushed her up in my admiration.

Her music is here or there with me; it’s her following and adoration by under 35 females that grab my attention.

Sometime late in the summer, she can tilt her head to the left and push Joe Biden to the top. It’s why the MAGA Right is threatening her by asking her to stay out and not to endorse Biden.

What you call odd, normal people call apt. wink

You haven't been paying attention by the way. I am still waiting on VIX to tell us why denigrated Shannon Sharpe for simply addressing Haley's anti-black racism.

The only "faggotry" here is the one being displayed by you. You have such bitch-like tendencies. Never addressing a man directly. Such feminine energy.

Where do you think the moniker Vix-en comes from? You must think "Ms Shannon Sharpe" is one of your girlfriends.

Just know that your fruity rass would be the bottom in that scenario.

I am still awaiting your direct response/answer on the other thread. Quit prancing around in your high heel pumps to other threads to throw words.

I know your only angle was to cry about the Rihanna quip, but since VIX (the racist, closeted homosexual) has got your attention, ask him why his supposed str8 rass went left field by referring to a Black man as female just because he called out a racist.

I kinda like her forthrightness - she stands up for what she believes in!

I would like to hear her on the "No Woman nuh Cry" rhythm!

Oh shite. what kind of life is that.
Here I am, early morning drinking my Caribbean coffee, watching the sun rise in my hammock and planning my work day and school for the little one.

On the other hand Zsa zsa is up thinking about faggotry and which pair of frilly thongs and what colour weave to wear. Yuh think it easy??

Is dem so Chapelle does be talking about!! lol

we should also ask why beyonce is popular? They're equally as bad with the caveat that you can play Taylor's music with the glasses of your window down or with your children around. I'm positive beyonce doesn't let her daughter listen to her records

I cant name a single song of hers,

Like you I don’t couldn’t identify a Taylor Swift song until I was listening to SiriusXm radio in my car a couple days ago and one of her songs started playing and I thought it was quite interesting, both in content and in rhythm

here is the song/video

and here
i think she she is quite good -- first time i am listening to her music, but i can see why she is beloved, ala the Beatles and Bob Dylan, Tracy Chapman

Catchy hooks - she is a specialist in that area, I always like her choruses!
