So she won't be exposed to label executives having other agendas/ideas about how she should be (let's turn her into another Avril Lavigne, another Kelly Clarkson), office politics,... or the type of people having no idea how to market her and tried to put her in limbo like Dr Luke is doing now with Kesha (if another label can unlock her potential, another label would wipe this label off the map).
Others spent like 7 bad years before finding the good years or some never got the chance to renegotiate contracts and never made money for themselves while the label snatched it.
And she built her fanbase/market in country. Conservative America is the other half of the market that is overlooked by film and music industry. By starting as pop country there, she doesn't see much competition there. Conservative parents are like, this pop country stuff is way less bad than what's on MTV, let's buy this for my kids.
It's a 50/50 divide between Democrats/progressive and Republicans/conservative, this means all pop stars combined are in 50% of the market and Taylor see no competition in the other 50% (that's also very convenient for competitionless country Grammys). She got her marketing right and retains fans during the transition to pop.
Let's see what would happend when she is put under psychological stress, I can totally see her mind disintegrate with a big bang, even bigger than the meltdowns in August 2013.
The point is not wasting years on labels, industry people having other agendas. Her dad bought that shortcut by getting her a team willing to work for her. And never risked the dangers of the industry like where Kesha ended up.

Her Dad didn't buy her anything. She walked away from a major record label because she had confidence at the age of 15 that she could make it with her own songs. She didn't want to perform songs written by other people. That is called showing artistic integrity. She was offered a choice of record contracts based on a performance showcase she did in the Bluebird Cafe. She chose one of them, a brand new independent label, and her dad then decided to invest in his daughter.
There were no other teen girls breaking into Country Music at that time. So you look ridiculous claiming it was easy for Taylor to do. No-one else did it. Taylor did it with songs she wrote at an independent label, using a producer Nathan Chapman, who had never produced a full album before. It was Taylor who physically put her own CDs into envelopes to post off to radio stations and asking them to play her tracks. Her label was too new and too poor to even have any interns to do that.
Your fave Katy, flopped until she took the easy path at a major label, who gave her established songwriters to write hits for her and used their connections in the industry to promote her using a controversial song. It is your fave who had it easy. Until she had those things giving her a boost Katy flopped.
Taylor chose the hard path and made it that way. In comparison, the likes of Britney and Katy Perry made it the easy way. Let's not even mention Miley Cyrus, who's Dad was a Country Star and was not only rich but had lots of connections in the Music Industry.
any excuse to vent about the Lord's success I guess
