I'm not a huge taylor swift fan but people who work in an industry with market disruption and the networking effect shouldn't throw stones. I'm a big fan of a number of artists personally - some headliners like RTJ and The Prodigy, and some less well known folks like m|o|o|n and bioxeed - there's a lot of good music out there but it can be quite hard to promote music and actually get it into peoples ears. That is a part of the business of music, as much as we might wish it wasn't - and it's exactly the same with other forms of art. Notoriety does help drive value since it will force people to take your production more seriously than someone hawking paintings at a farmers market - even if their paintings are technically excellent and moving. Record labels often try to stand up rando pop groups - sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but those groups that manage to stay around for more than a few months do have talent that supports the large marketing campaigns being thrown behind them - they may not be the most talented out there, but a large number of people genuinely enjoy their music.
