As many people are aware, Taylor Swift seems to be everywhere these days. She has had tremendous success her entire career, but this past year Taylor has reached unimaginable heights. From observing her on her record breaking world tour, hearing news about the upcoming release of her eleventh studio album, or catching glimpses of her at football games, Taylor Swift has captured the attention of the world, both good and bad. Taylor is no stranger to haters, and the past year was no exception. While a lot of people are just bitter and unwilling to acknowledge her success, there are some who simply do not understand how she reached her level of fame, which is a conversation I am willing to entertain. So for the people saying “I don’t get it.” I will explain the many facets of Taylor Swift that never fail to entertain the world.
At the base level, what draws many people, myself included, into the world of Taylor Swift, is obviously her music. Taylor has been in the music industry for eighteen years and has ten studio albums that span multiple genres and topics. Taylor’s evolution and exploration in different styles and sounds of music makes her very appealing to an even larger audience. Even more captivating is her lyricism. Taylor writes songs about her life, but they can be related to so many people’s lives. She has the songs that everyone knows, about falling in love and experiencing heartbreak, but she also has songs about so many other topics. Losing a loved one, feeling like you are falling behind, struggling with the idea of growing up, feeling betrayed by someone you trusted, and self doubt are all topics covered in Taylor’s discography. I first became a Taylor fan as a little girl, and I loved the sounds and lyrics of her music. And now that I am older, her music has become so much more meaningful to me. I understand it on a much deeper level and many of her songs help me get through things, and I know many fans feel the same.
Many people initially become fans of Taylor because of her music, but as they learn more about her, they fall in love with the person she is. Even at the peak of fame, arguably one of the most famous people in the world, Taylor remains humble and relatable. Almost everyone who has met her has nothing but amazing things to say about how nice and down to earth she is. Her kindness shines through her public persona as well. While touring, she donated to struggling food banks in every city she stopped at, and gave her staff bonuses totaling to about fifty million dollars. Even when not touring, she reaches out and helps fans and people in her communities.
Taylor creates such an amazing connection with her fans. She is constantly interacting with fans on social media and has many events for fans to meet her. One of the most intriguing aspects of Taylor’s work and something that keeps fans very interested are “easter eggs”. These are clues or signs that Taylor leaves in her work, social media, outfits, shows, and many other things, to give insight or clues to what might be coming next. This has become such a special tradition that has fans analyzing nail color, number of letters, and flashing bracelets. Taylor’s unique connection with her fans plays a huge role in how large and supportive of a group it is.
Regardless of how they got hooked, Taylor’s fans are incredibly loyal and supportive, which is one of the reasons why she is arguably one of the biggest artists in the world. Her fame is well earned due to Tayor’s immense talent and incredible work drive. Taylor works tirelessly, releasing nine albums in five years, while on a record breaking world tour. She has cemented herself in the history books, breaking records previously held by legends like the Beatles. The era of Taylor Swift is immensely powerful and impressive and I personally can’t wait to watch what she does next.
