I don’t get it. Her music is sometimes catchy but otherwise unremarkable, from the songs I’ve heard. How does she break all these records and accumulate so much fame and wealth?

She’s pretty, but a lot of singer songwriters are, especially those with makeup and costume people, a support staff.

Is there something else to her that people like?

I’m confused about what makes her so apparently uniquel or phenomenal.

    The Beatles Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson all seem unique in several salient ways that explain their success, Madonna at least in fashion.

    And all of those artists were at the beginning of one movement or another, Taylor’s right in the middle of popular pop.

    I can’t think of anything comparably unique about Taylor Swift, though I don’t know much about her, hence the curiosity.

      In hindsight possibly. I’m only old enough to comment on Michael Jackson and Madonna but at the time their music wasn’t that unique. Michael Jackson absolutely pushed the boundaries with his music videos. Madonna played up to controversy. That’s how they built their audiences.
