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.

    A velvet glove on an iron fist.

    I suggest speaking and theorizing based on your personal experience rather than the positions you assume others take.

      Ok, so take this same disdain that you have for other people assuming your thoughts and feelings, and apply it to your own views on Taylor Swift’s fans. Just like you, they have their own thoughts and feelings, and unlike you, they don’t find her music unremarkable.

        And look, here we are, there’s a huge post where people answering the question I actually asked instead of funneling irrelevant natives toward boring conclusions.

        Yes, everyone has their likes and dislikes, kudos to your revelation, but aren’t you curious about the world at all? How it functions? Why people like that they like?

        If not, you probably aren’t going to understand or appreciate the conversations going on all around you gainfully answering the question this post presents, in which people try to pin down, or rather, crowdsource a theory on what makes someone who is unremarkable from a distance so culturally celebrated and unique.
