From country music star to pop music sensation, Taylor Swift has made a huge impact in the entertainment industry. Her interest in music started when she was a little girl and has blossomed into something millions of fans have appreciated for almost ten years, me being one of those fans. For a lot of young fans, it is more than just the music. Swift has become an icon that people look up to and inspire to be when they are older. Swift is interesting because she is an artist that has battled many things such as bullying and not fitting in at school, some of the very things I struggle with today at age 19; which is why I chose Swift as my celebrity to write. When I listen to her music, not only is it catchy and fun to dance to, it is relatable. …show more content…
To support her album, she perform 111 shows worldwide. The album sold over 5.7 million albums and she was one of the first people to sell over a million albums in one week. One of Swifts signatures on her songs is that each of them are personal and have some type of message behind it. She writes songs about her past relationships with her famous boyfriends such as Joe Jonas and Harry Styles. She also faced a lot of “Mean” comments from critics. Zack Greenburg states a direct quote from Swift: “There's nothing like writing a song about someone who's really mean to you and makes your life miserable and then winning a Grammy for it.” Swift is usually bold in her interviews and how she presents herself. She is bold because when asked questions about her relationships and music, she does not hold anything back. Some call her style immature due to the fact that she will talk about previous relationships in songs but she is not due to her writing about personal experiences that happen in her life. Writing songs about someone being mean, everyone can relate to it. Everyone has met someone that has been mean in their lifetime and so has Swift. Greenburg notes her astounding ticket sales “After winning her first award in 2010”. Swift's ticket sales “soared 380%, from $125,000 to $600,000. The next year, that number jumped to $1.1 million” (Greenburg). With this success, Swift is known as one of the best touring artist but not only by her sales, but her content as well. Her attitude where she treats everyone with kindness has paid off and is still continuing to pay

Have you ever had those certain catchy songs that you just can't get out of your head? For me Taylor Swift is always at the top of my playlist. Taylor Swift was born on December 13, 1989 and has a family background of singing in her family her grandmother was an opera singer. Ever since Taylor started recording her albums she has always wrote and performed all of her songs. She started performing at a very young age. At the age of 11 Taylor Swift performed the national anthem at a Philadelphia 76ers NBA game. (??) The contributions to Music demonstrated by the career of Taylor Swift to prove beyond a doubt the Country Music Hall of Fame should induct this singer Taylors worthiness of this award is shown in her awards, charitable contributions and impact.
Many people know Taylor Swift as the fun and adorable semi-pop and semi-country singer, but many people did not expect her recent letter towards Apple. What spawned her unexpected outspoken response? Apple decided to give users of iTunes a three-month trial period for their newest streaming system. What was the catch? Well, for customers, there wasn’t one. We simply got three free months of great music that we chose. However, for musicians, Swift saw a large injustice.
She is a 10 time Grammy award winner, and among the five artists to ever win a Grammy for album of the year she is the only female to ever win more than once. Her hit song “You Belong with Me” resonated with millions of young girls many of which connected with the lines “If you could see/ That I’m the one /Who understands you/ Been here all along/ So why can’t you see/ You belong with me”. She turns ordinary teenage girl experiences into fresh country and pop songs. She grew up fascinated by music which led to her success as a Country/Pop artist. She constantly strives to make sure that her fame does not get in the way of her truly being herself. Taylor does not read into any of the articles about her in magazines to avoid getting caught up in all the gossip that publicity spreads about her. Taylor has made a huge impact on music industry, from selling out Madison Square Garden, to record breaking songs and albums. Award winning singer and song writer Taylor Swift, is still forming her legacy as she continues to make history in the music industry, while garnering a large fan base worldwide.
Taylor Swift, a pop icon and polarizing figure, is often known for her empowering music, feminist attitude, and meaningful lyrics. Many of her fans praise the feminist messages some of her songs deliver, however others say she comes from a position of privilege and only advocates for white women. Still, a common perception of Swift is that she has evolved from an innocent country singer into a more controversial and sometimes provocative pop singer. What is ignored though, is that despite this perception, themes depicted in “old” Taylor’s music still displayed highly problematic concepts about gender, just in less obvious ways. Particularly in her music video for “You Belong With Me,” the audience if presented with a fulfilling love story involving a nerdy girl getting the popular. On its surface, this concept may seem normal, but the narrative of this video unintentionally conveys significant gender issues in today’s society. Thus, through her 2008 music video for “You Belong With Me,” Taylor Swift ironically presents herself as the ideal nerdy girl next door who gets the guy when she suddenly turns beautiful while demonizing a cheerleader, revealing problematic notions of how women are supposed to look and behave in society, as well as reinforcing negative female stereotypes.
Anytime someone takes a complicated emotion and simplifies it so I know it like I know the ABC’s, my heart wells with pride and admiration with an intensity that's slightly embarrassing. The album is uniquely defining for me mainly because it fits into so many aspects of life. Although it has a seemingly shallow message about her ex-boyfriend Harry Styles, I have always thought of it as slightly deeper. With lyrics like “This love is alive back from the dead” and “Take my hand and don’t ever drop it, my love” I relate it to daily life. One song describes a time when all you want to do is hide, but the next track describes something beautiful and lovely. Just like one day the storms are raging everywhere I go, but the next God has cleared the skies and created something lovely. The album taught me to not be ashamed of who I am or what I believe, so for that I owe Swift big time. Finally, I recently fell in love with writing songs and at 1989’s core it's just the result of great songwriting. Songwriting does for me what punching someone does for someone
Taylor Swift likes to invoke a lot of emotion into her music and includes several things she has experienced in her life. One major recurring theme in her songs is love.
Taylor Swift really knows how to have hidden messages and secrets throughout her lyrics and music videos. Taylor Swift also likes to trash talk other celebrities including Kim Kardashian and Katy Perry. Which gives a viewer a good chance to critic her lyrics and videos.
Or perhaps the real artist, Taylor Swift’s purpose is to show the audience how ridiculous is the media image that has been created on her. It is a warning for both boys and girls, primarily those who are hoping to attract love from boys that love is perpetuated by its tortuousness. It is painful if boys will lose interest, that is Swift’s warning. The song revolves around a message for girls: do not be a daydream dressed like a daydream; do not be a nightmare dressed like a nightmare; do not find out what kind of a girl he wants and be like that forever, do not be heaven, do not be nice, do not be magic, never be too plain or perfect and good. You can also add torture to love and bring darkness to light, it is all about the
Thesis statement: Taylor Swift is one of the most successful female artists in the world who portrays her personal experiences through her music.
Well, 2009 was when Taylor Swift reigned over the radio airwaves with songs from her sophomore album Fearless. She was becoming more and more popular because of the songs she wrote. William Michael Morgan is also a songwriter from Nashville, and has worked with Swift.
In musical superstar Taylor Swift’s music video for her song “Blank Space,” she is portraying herself as the high maintenance and dramatic girlfriend that the media believes she is. The speaker of this text is the media’s perception of Taylor Swift and her message is about the disconnect between who Swift really is and who the media sees her as. I believe Swift has two purposes for this music video. One is for her character in the music video to warn her audience about the type of love that boys want, and the other for real life Taylor herself to poke holes into the media’s concept of her love life. The video is filled with satire and paradoxes to convince us that our idea of Taylor Swift is not an accurate opinion of her.

For my Taylor Swift assignment, I took very detailed notes on the music video to try and help me get a good idea of exactly what was going on. I then decided to have my main focus on the dark spots on Taylor Swifts career. I decided to focus on these because most of the music video focused in on her past and how it has changed her to be a new person. In the video, there was also reference to taboos which I explained in my writing. I was very confident on this paper and decided not to revise for that reason.
