Pop 4,541 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 THE word “superstar” is thrown around unnecessarily these days all the time, but when it comes to Taylor Swift, it's the right label. Swift, 25, has had a massive fanbase for years after bursting onto the scene as a teenager in the country music world. But it wasn’t until the release of her album 1989 in October last year that in my mind she has become the biggest, and most influential music “superstar” in the world.Everyone it seems loves her, from young girls, the gay community and oldies, as well as more serious musicians like Melbourne’s Vance Joy who is supporting her world tour. Back in 1989 it was Madonna who was pushing envelopes when it came to music - big anthemic pop songs such as Like A Prayer and Express Yourself. While a different sound, the album 1989 has similar anthemic pop songs, from Shake It Off to Style to one of the album tracks Out Of The Woods. Is Swift the Madonna of our generation? Yes, compared to Madonna she is squeaky clean, but that doesn’t mean her image isn’t as cultivated as the Material Girl. From on stage to when she is walking with girlfriends in New York City, Swift always looks the part, she is always on. Much like Madonna she is becoming a style icon for young girls around the world. A decade or so ago there was so much debate about the likes of Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera and their over s-xualised image. It’s so refreshing that Swift isn't like this in the slightest, and yet she sells records by the truckload. Perhaps the biggest evidence in Melbourne about Swift’s “superstar” status is the fact she is about to sell out a third AAMI Stadium gig in December. Could anyone in the current climate do that right now? I doubt it. http://www.heraldsun.com.au/entertainment/confidential/is-music-superstar-taylor-swift-the-madonna-of-generation-now/story-fnn7ma1h-1227449448657 The Taylor Brigade: KNOCKOUT Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gagaisitalian 3,573 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 You're delusional if you don't believe the article. Taylor is running things right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FATCAT 60,395 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 This is just an article trying to get views. If Taylor skrews up, they'll probably be one of the first to denounce her and call her out. It's the media people, they live for your attention. This kitten over here (meow) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FATCAT 60,395 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Taylor is running things right now. That doesn't make her the next 'Madonna' In a few months she, along with any other pop-stars in line for this title could be out the door. Title's like these are completely ludicrous, even when applied to talents like Gaga. This kitten over here (meow) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
