Taylor Swift

I am a middle aged white guy so this phenomenon is way out of my wheelhouse. I don't think I have ever heard a Taylor Swift song- if I have I could not identify it.

I have trouble understanding pop culture in general.

Is something popular because it's good, or do people think it is good because it is popular? It is often a self perpetuating cycle that can grow or collapse without warning.

I have read that if you can ingrain your product with girls 8-12 (tweens) there are billions of dollars to be earned throughout their teen years.

It was on every television news channel yesterday- often as the lead story.

When she landed in her private jet at Centennial, there was a helicopter hovering over to catch a glimpse of her getting into an Escalade.

She is having two concerts, sold out at Mile High. Some tickets were selling for $1000.

A bit of research and this current tour is expected to bring in $1.2 billion dollars.

Amazing.

She lives here near Creepy Joe...

My 13 year old daughter would probably enjoy just teleporting there for the show, but has zero interest in actually going to the event. We were talking about the ticket prices this morning.

Can't say I've ever listened to anything shes has done. I'll leave it at that.

Same here, no clue about her music. IMO, there must be a huge promotion machine behind her, with a LOT of people making a LOT of money off her popularity.

As far as hard working, talented, female musicians making it on their own, I'm a big fan of Samantha Fish, Ana Popovich, Alexs Sever, Joanne Shaw Taylor and quite a few other ladies that are doing it the hard way, and kicking ass. Artists that'll sit with ya after the show, autograph whatever you have, and take photos with ya. Samantha is great at taking selfies with YOUR phone.

Not a fan but I have listened to a bit of her music over the years. VERY talented and seems to be well grounded. She voices her displeasure of the ticket prices too.

She donated a bunch to a foodbank in Denver this tour. That's a good move in my books. I hope all the 'Swifties' out there had a good time, I hear she puts on a great show.

The reverse card?.
