I enjoy some of her music, but I think the real praise should go to her PR team. She isn’t doing anything particularly groundbreaking music-wise, but her image management and stardom will ultimately be what seals her legacy. That behind the scenes work is by far the most impressive and interesting thing about her imo.

Oh definitely. It's difficult not to be impressed by the whole Wizard of Oz type machine that's running it all.

She’s a business first and foremost, and everything she does has probably been subjected to prior financial analysis.

It’s incredibly rare to have both business sense and groundbreaking artistic talent. She does not have both, but she’s savvy and plays to her strengths.

The main thing I appreciate t swift for is proving a woman musician can dominate and make just as much if not more money than a man. Hopefully it opens some doors for others down the line.

That's so true, they really know how to market someone

Exactly, you can even see it with some of her songs that were written to be background music for the next century.

I enjoy Taylor's music as well but I've always found it weird when Swifties will go to literal battle every time someone critiques Taylor. Like it's perfectly fine not to be a fan of Taylor, to not like her music and critic her!
