I'm so tired of this bullshit narrative. Same argument gets played for Elon Musk. How many millions of attractive white women from affluent parents are there out there trying to excel? Are you really going against that and take away the tremendously focused effort she's put forth for 20+ years? Taylor has taken huge risks and had her share of failures along the way. I remember her playing at fraternity house parties when I was in college.
It is such a harmful fallacy to reduce someone's life work life you have done here.
Im in the "fathers and daughters" camp that Ben Thompson talks about, where over the last ~5 years, Taylor has produced a body of work that is broadly appealing. I enjoy it. My daughter enjoys it. I personally cannot stand Swift's earlier work, seeing as it was written for teenage girls, that makes sense, my daughter loves it, and she cannot stand my weird 90s rock, so we compromise on Swifts new stuff. What Taylor Swift has done, shifting her musical appeal without abandoning her fan base, is super impressive and potentially unprecedented at this scale. Maybe Michael Jackson or Elvis level of mastery of entertainment.
