Taylor was given **** for all those trademarks, though - it went beyond the realm of typical trademarking.
And that's fine, I just prefer artists who are a bit more #musicnotthebling.
Taylor's machinations (with Spotify and so on) have really paid off for her this era. = calculating
"Taylor Swift's trademarks fuel media misreporting and protest songs":
Quote:
The furore surrounding trademark applications filed by pop star Taylor Swift (or, more likely, her management) is another example of the confused and inaccurate reporting of trademark law in the media. The coverage has sparked possibly the first trademark protest song and has one lawyer hitting out at ‘oversimplified, bizarre’ reactions to what is, in reality, normal practice for any individual or organisation selling merchandise.
To date, Swift has been protective of her brand, and has filed for 121 trademarks in total (with 54 currently registered in the US - mostly for her own name (and variations of it) and also for the album title “Speak Now”). So far, so normal - the list below, of trademarks filed by other current pop artists, reveals that Swift is certainly not acting unusually in her brand protection strategy:
Like i said, yeah, Taylor is a very calculated business woman. Probably 2nd to Madonna if we go by all-time. But the most basic marketing procedure of them all aint the reason for that!
I remember when Katy Perry divorced from Russell Brand, then reworked an old demo with a few new lyrics to fit her new single, just in time for her 3D movie?
Seems like things didn't turned out like you wanted :eyeroll:

Kii @ you transparently posting this after not getting the response you wanted (which was obviously for everyone to say Katy)
All I'm saying is Taylor's whole shadiness with this Katy feud, and the blatant dropping of hints while saying "I'm not gonna say any names" and then Bad Blood, and whole ordeal is one of the most calculated moves I've ever seen in my life.

Kanye is a mess!
I get what you're saying and concede that I'm probably going on how the media reported it, but contrast Taylor with someone like Gaga. Though I love a ruthless pop gal, I find the musicnotthebling approach a bit more appealing.

OT: Taylor
What?
Notice how Katy Perry is the last one listed on the poll. Like... This is a genuine discussion. Read the first line in the OP. I have no agenda. It's pop music, ffs.

Anyway, I think that it's Beyonce closely followed by Taylor Swift.

Or how Taylor Swift had NOTHING to say about Lady Gaga at the start of the 'CHEEK TO CHEEK' era, when it was the done thing to bash her, when she was giving Tay nothing but praise and love on Howard Stern's radio show... But at the end of February 2015, when Lady Gaga is having one of the biggest months of her career/life and is more praised and liked than she's been in years, Taylor Swift is randomly giving her praise via Twitter.
