Could Taylor have a successful urban era?

We don't need Miss Iggy Iggs 2.0

[Alcina Dimitrescu 1,156]

It's from her previous tour.

ah.

mess nonetheless

[Sizzily 14,543]

She has no soul in her music so absolutely not. 

[Pop 4,541]

Still better than Iggy Azalea!

She literally sent 10 seconds of static noise to #1 on iTunes so I don't see why not

Doesn't mean I would be here for it tho

NO PLEASE

maybe an urban inspired pop song like Paper Gangsta but nothing overboard

Tbh i think she should do two more pop albums and go back to country she's still young so she has time but country is where her roots belong and it's what she does best, mark my words one day she'll return to country.

Think of the fans whom solely loved Taylor for country and have to deal with pop regardless of her success it would be like Gaga going Jazz forever which she's good and successful at. One should never abandon his or her roots, it's what got her to where she is. 

Oh and don't tell me she was always pop and not country enough, Pop has to be authentically pop and Country has to authentically be country just because a song draws inspiration and sound from another genre doesn't change what it's ment to be and if Taylor says 1989 is her first pop album then we follow what the artist says.

Funnily enough, I was thinking this myself. But no, not after the recent hammering she's had from people trying to paint her as a racist on three separate occasions this era. Can you imagine what Azealia Banks would say about her? She got a bit of flack of going pop as it is but going urban is just too much of a 180. This is the direction that even some pop fans don't want her to go in, even though it's a very popular genre. Pop fans would drop her, urban fans wouldn't support her. So, for her own sake, she'd better not make a collab with Kanye anything more than a one off. She'd be better off doing another kind of pop and then going back to country. I just feel the years won't be kind to her if she keeps making this brand of youthful pop for much longer. I mean, most popstars consider retiring or going in a completely different direction around 30 because the public really moves on around that time and Taylor can only get 2 more pop albums out tops before she hits that age. Can you really see people jamming to a song in the style of Shake It Off from a 30-year-old Taylor? I don't think so.

No shade to you at all, but does anyone care what Azealia says at this point? She talks so much trash her words have no merit anymore, nobody respects her.

I would be here for it, but if she gets called racist by the twerking scenes in shake it off and having a video in Africa then I think she would be beheaded for going urban.

[PaperIz 7,308]

People don't care if white people go Urban, just don't appropriate it

this is going to be a serious question because I am genuinely curious. What is the difference between celebrating a genre and the styles of it and cultural appropriation? A lot of the artist who celebrate cultural imagery are attacked because of cultural appropriation claims, but most of the time it's from a place of celebration of a culture but it's still labelled negative? What would count as appropriation and what wouldnt? And please be kind,I'd really like to know.
