Sure. Him buying 3% of an start up indie label that did not even have any artists (meaning this could not even been big money ) made such a difference!
But her dad can be credited for moving the family to Nasville, tho. So that his daughter could chase her dreams. But i am sure millions of people have tried that. Taylor had enough drive and talent to make it. Simple as that.
Taylor's success is due to her talent for songwriting. She put in the hours as a teenager honing this skill and it pays off. How many people could write a song for their High School talent show and later see it go multi-platinum?
Taylor's success is having talent and marrying that to hard work. Taylor knows that the music is the foundation for everything. Taylor works hard to write the songs and has so far released 5 very strong albums. Taylor is not one of those artists who rush an album out for the sake of it, just cos there is a gap in a touring schedule. Taylor is always willing to go the extra mile and do that promo. Other successful artists are just too rich and lazy to do it, even though they have the opportunities to do so.
Taylor is also smart enough to recognise that success in the industry is down to the fans. Taylor always treats her fans very well, picking some to meet her after every concert, writing them thank you notes, giving some presents, inviting them to her house, interacting with them kindly on social media, thanking them constantly at award shows. Taylor used to walk through the crowds at her concert hugging hundreds of people. Is it any wonder her fan base is very loyal and growing? No other artist does so much for their fans AFAIK.
Taylor also makes it a priority to treat people in the industry very well. She writes them handwritten thank you notes, makes them feel special when she meets them and goes the extra mile. This makes her stand out from other artists. Various radio and media people have said this about her, saying that no other celebrity treats them this well. It is no surprise she has so many friends. Taylor just treats people well, there are countless examples of people citing this is the case.
- she makes good music
- she's cute
- she's likable
- she's a smart business woman
- she's a hard worker
- she's original and not copying any old icon
- she knows how to manipulate the media
- she never slipped up with her music in 10 years of her career
basically she's really talented and commited. And SMART. I bet she has one of those psychopath's 160 IQs. I'm just glad she was born pretty and rich otherwise she would be literally slaying our lives with her hands instead of her hits.
1989 is a great album, her lyrics seem to be relatable to many of fans (both young and older), she (her PR team) are really smart when it comes to releases and timing etc... plus she is likeable and now she is hot too.
- Songwriting talent
- Relatable songs
- Clean image
- Hardworking
- Strong bond with fans
- Musical transformation in each era
- Being a extra nice person that almost everyone in the industry likes her
