Redstreak 6,653 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 BMI will present Taylor Swift with an award bearing her name in recognition of her incomparable creative and artistic talent and influence on music lovers throughout the world. The first-ever Taylor Swift Award will be given at the 64th annual BMI Pop Awards on Tuesday, May 10, at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills. The event will be hosted by BMI President & CEO Mike O’Neill and BMI Vice President of Writer/Publisher Relations Barbara Cane. This is only the second time in BMI’s 76-year history that the company has presented an award in someone’s name. The first was to Michael Jackson in 1990. “Taylor Swift has transformed pop culture through her songs, artistry and indomitable spirit,” said Cane. “She has had a profound impact, not only musically, but also through her personal conviction and commitment to create a standard that values and respects music for everyone. We felt it appropriate to award Taylor with an honor that is as unique and special as she is.” http://www.bmi.com/news/entry/bmi_to_honor_taylor_swift_with_first_ever_taylor_swift_award_at_64th_annual Forbes calls this achievement "important" http://www.forbes.com/sites/hughmcintyre/2016/04/05/taylor-swift-is-getting-an-important-industry-award-named-after-her/#15d049ed586c Congrats queen!

dannydevito 10,658 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 TS is commercial pop and country, nothing special, nothing original. She doesn't create trends but follows them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeka 12,372 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 To think just because she went full pop with 1989... I love 1989 and all, but does anyone else think this is a little much? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eifulien 2,969 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 That kinda pisses me. Actually it pisses me A LOT. What did she do? Fight to protect the financial interests of brands like hers under the mask of "this is for the indie artists". Typical American thinking - get those profits, protect the corporation. And ofc BMI will award her, Forbes will praise her, corporations for corporations. Meanwhile Gaga will continue on her mission as the outsider, who is very unconvenient for the industry. So Forbes will keep on calling her absurd. Just ARTPOP can easily sh*t on top of all pop releases from the past 3 years in terms of impact on art education, to those who listened to her. And that's the flop. I won't even start with BTW. SMH Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
