with her being in the news recently with her new album, we had a discussion at work on how we would rank her with other celebrities.
Room was pretty split 50/50 with half the people saying she's too rail thin with no curves at all. While the other half saying she was stunning and looked way better than some supermodels at the Victoria Secret fashion show last week.
As always, curious to hear BBI's input on these topics. How would you guys rate Taylor Swift?
She's the Tupac of this generation.

Doesn't interest me...
she writes good songs
Compaired to others.
I find her music less annoying and cringe-worthy than a lot of the other music they like.
As for looks I think she kind of unique looking.

Hahaha.. it's so funny that he keeps trying new handles but keeps typing the haikus every time which gives it away.
And NYG27 Learn to post pictures when you start this kind of thread.
So far a great role model.
A few music genres I don't like but appreciate the talent.
What's not to like?
Her and Kloss are "BFF's". But rumored to be more. I'm guessing that's what the previous post was alluding to
Her tour made $55 million last year and Celebrity Net Worth has her at $200 million.
Very pretty, smart and rich, and a good songwriter >>> Victoria's Secret Supermodel, except for the very top ones, who are mainly also smart and rich as well as gorgeous.
When is the last time you made 55 mil on a year and were ever worth 200 mil? Especially at 25?
Think maybe her cpa's think she needs a write off or she'll make a few million on them?
Selling 500,000 pair on her name alone at $20 a pop is how much?
Yep, piss poor accomplishment.
Secondly, she is very talented as well as beautiful.

From Wiki.
"Taylor Alison Swift (born December 13, 1989) is an American singer-songwriter. Raised in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania, Swift moved to Nashville, Tennessee at the age of 14 to pursue a career in country music. She signed with the independent label Big Machine Records and became the youngest songwriter ever hired by the Sony/ATV Music publishing house. The release of Swift's self-titled debut album in 2006 established her as a country music star. Her third single, "Our Song," made her the youngest person to single-handedly write and perform a number one song on the Hot Country Songs chart. She received a Best New Artist nomination at the 2008 Grammy Awards.
Suburb of Redding.
She was into country music before she was 14.
I grew up on a farm 25 miles from downtown Manhattan.
You and I have a way different definition of country.
As for the looks, she certainly isn't ugly but she looks a lot prettier because she's worth nine figures, and because those nine figures can pay for some pretty amazing makeup artists.
I want to "date" her. Mainly so she'll write a song about me.
Brett is NOT gonna be happy
No, she isn't a very good singer. She's a solid entertainer and a world class entertainment professional.
In today's world, the latter two are much more likely to lead to success than the former. There are hundreds, maybe thousands of better singers, but so what?
The sad irony is that with modern-level autotuning equipment, the good entertainer with decent tonal quality will outsell the excellent singer. That is not changing back.

LOL
Joking or not, you need a smack for even writing that.
I stopped paying for country music when the Dixie Chicks were shelved.
Natalie Maines is a great singer.
I'm not big into voluptuous women but ultra-skinny ones are YECK!

in calling Taylor Swift overrated (at 15 the girl wrote and performed a song that topped the charts and is still being played) while lamenting the fall of the Dixie Chicks, who were themselves mostly pop country.
Natalie Maines is a great singer.
Natalie Maines is the one who gave them the pop sound. Prior to that they were obscure and as much bluegrass as country.
No one really disputes that Martina McBride and Carrie Underwood and even Natalie Maines have better voices than Taylor Swift. The issue is whether she's a better entertainer, and while I'm not a fan she does write her own crap and has since she was an age where most kids struggle to get up on time for school.

with tons of celeb guys, let's call it 'dating'. Like Adele, she's made money off of being dumped. She needs to eat a cheeseburger or two. And her live performances could not be successful without audio assistance. So whatevs. Teenie boppers love her. That's fine. And there's nothing wrong with Meghan Trainor (aesthetically - speaking)
Brett is NOT gonna be happy
So much jelly.
What's the problem then?

Brett's going to be twice as pissed because we're making fun of his fantasy woman and Ronnie just stole his thunder on that score.
Well, that and see how much money I could get her to give me.
And then see if I could get royalties from the top 10 single she writes about our "relationship", "Daddy, why are you so mean?"
Second. Do people thinks she's really, talented? Or I guess more specifically, does anyone think the music she releases reflects the talent she has? When I heard all the hype about this new album I actually thought it was going to be something different, but it was the same teenie bopper shit as last time.
I have no issue with her or her music. It's pop music and kids like it, much like they have for a half century now. By all accounts she seems to be a good kid and makes music that young girls (and Brett) enjoy.
Again.. this obsession alludes me.
But I'm gonna guess anyway that her target market is 12 year old girls. You don't need to be walking around Williamsburg with a waxed mustache and top hat to hazard that.

Her target market could be changing if there's any truth to the rumors that she and Victoria's Secret model Karlie Kloss are having long-legged scissor sessions in their shared apartment.
I think we're all in the target demo for that sort of thing.
While the country music community has come around to supporting unmarried sex and even one-night stands in many dozens of songs, there seems to be a requirement that they be non-negotiably inter-gender.

I doubt that. She has been trying to downplay her country "roots" for some time and has ticked off a lot of the contemporary country stations in the meantime. I think it has more to do with her trying to make more money off of broad-based entertainment than just the country charts.

And then when they break up, we get a Swift version of "You Oughta Know"

her music is catered to young girls. I'm surprised BBI doesn't have any. Her music is simple and forget the quality of it, I'd just be pleased that my daughters weren't listening to Lady Gaga or the Australian lady that tries to sound like she is from the streets of New York. Her name escapes me at the moment.
Iggy Azalea
Yep. And she sounds like trash.
While there are better singers out there, I don't think there are very many entertainers out there currently that are putting as good as a show/concert as what she's doing.
The marketing of her brand and the social media aspects of reaching out to her fans are bar none the best in the music business today.
I don't like anything I've heard from her, and I agree that her musical talent loses some relevance to me when it's applied towards the creation of pretty vapid music. It's similar to how I'm surprised by how often people rave about Bruno Mars being talented.
She's pretty cute, though.
That's Taylor Swift.

If I don't care now (which I don't), odds are looking mighty strong that I will care less as time goes by, particularly since some other blonde girl whose name I won't know will replace Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande (and I literally have absolutely no idea who she is, never heard the name before this thread).
2. This is Ariana Grande:
Thank you. She's the best.
I'm told I also look 14 years old, so...
She does look young, though.
Taylor Swift's the best.
You'll like her better than Danzig.
Big Glenn Danzig cannot be replaced.
And she for damn sure isn't Victoria Secret hot.
But then her poor minions would have to pick her up and carry her off.
She can sleep over my place any time..

I'll go with STFU
