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.

    Okay, yeah so I think it’s the awards that I don’t really understand, since she doesn’t seem that unique to me compared to Ellis, Madonna or beyoncé, but she has the most awards out of them and far more awards than many other pop"stars", like a pretty crazy amount more.

    Swift has 81 awards

    Beyonce has 96, 31 of which are BET awards, which I do think is significant in this specific list since obviously Taylor Swift isn’t competing in that category.

    But then let’s get to other pop stars.

    Lady Gaga has 35 awards? The f*** like I can sing tons of her songs.

    Adele has 40? Adele. Adele? Taylor Swift has twice as many awards as Adele?

    Rihanna has 49 including her 19 BET awards

    Billy eyelash like I don’t know whatever, after that it’s all like a dozen awards or a couple dozen each.

    Taylor has 81 awards, even without any BET awards?

    How does Taylor Swift have twice as many awards as Lady Gaga or other similarly huge artists?

      Lady Gaga has also put out five studio albums, Taylor Swift ten.

        I think that furthers my point if a casual listener remembers several Lady Gaga songs but very few(one) of an artist who has twice as many albums?

          Or a top artist having ~twice as many albums explains having ~twice as my awards as some other top artist.

            Madonna has 14 albums, Taylor Swift has 10 albums, but Swift has received far more awards in her career so far.
