Who cares? She's ******** on every other artist in the only market that anyone actually cares about: the US.

According to my good friend KATS, US makes up 40% of the world market. I wonder what percentage US + Australia + New Zealand + UK + half of Asia makes up?

THAT IS WHAT SHE SELLS....

If she is THAT country... how come her 'country' songs are not singles?

Because her label wants money and releases the most radio friendly songs?

Yes, but you asked if she is local or not, so obviously you need to be successful in these countries beside US to not be local.

first of.

If her music isnt LOCAL ENOUGH

The only songs that people outside the US know are the bubly-preteen pop ones.

She is not country to 99,9% of the population outside the US and from those 90% havent heard of her

[Gui Blackout]

Well, she did increased her WW appeal in this era. She's not technically local, but she's still not global like Rihanna, Gaga, Adele or even Bieber.

Taylor is local.

At least people like Perry and Bey can be argued against.

Her US success is cute tho

Red isn't charting in Japan. WANEGBT is 8, IKYWT is 56, Red (song) is 129, SOG is 220, no other songs from Red are charting in the country.

People know that Taylor is a country artist, if that's what you're trying to say in your messy post.

Are Australia and Canada and the UK and Denmark and Ireland and Thailand and Norway and Sweden part of the US now? Did not know this, thanks for the geography lesson.

Definiton of local. /endthread

Taylor is neither local, nor global. She's in between.
