Who on earth is Taylor Swift?

I honestly don't know. Am I unusual in that not only do I not know but I don't really want to know!
Gone are the days when I had interest and good knowledge of pop music of the day. Now I have not a clue. I admit I don't know anything to about Ed Sheeran either, except people seem to worship him.

Am I the only one and am I missing out on something?

Hope this Wikipedia article about her helps!
Taylor Swift - Wikipedia
 
She’s a very smart woman. When she was not able to buy back the rights to her early song performances, she recorded new performances of the early songs to sell in their place.

I am not one who gets excited about so called celebrities. I would rather spend my money on small local venues that are more intimate than big shows with BIG ticket prices. But, I do admire her smarts.
 
not a fan of Taylor Swift, She's in the news again because her new boyfriend is Travis Kelce who, plays for the NFL's Kansas City Chiefs.Her last boyfriend was a British actor,Joe Alwyn they were together for 6 yrs broke up in March
 
IMO, she has a mediocre voice and could never touch the likes of Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Kelly Clarkson or even Ariana Grande. She sounds like the majority of other cookie cutter pop singers out there, like they were churned out of a factory production line. But she managed to make the list of billionaires recently, bless her heart. It's amazing what studio magic and great promoters can do. Admittedly, though...she has to bring it in her live concerts, so she must have the showmanship needed for that. Her new concert movie is the highest grossing (concert film) of all time. Now, if she can just finally have as fulfilling a love life.

How could anyone not know who this is? You see her face everywhere. I don't listen to her music, but as a man, I do enjoy looking at her.

Isn't she singularly responsible for saving NFL football from oblivion a few weeks ago. It must be true since I read it online. She certrainly has the new media dancing like the puppet it is to her pulling the strings.

You lost me at Kelly Clarkson. I have a hard time listening to her. I do wonder what Ms. Swift would sound like without all the electronic enhancements.

Giorgia Fumanti - now there's a voice.

She does have a beautiful voice, obviously classically trained. She's got impressive creds too...composer, producer with impressive performances all over the globe. See..that's what I'm talking about. She has a distinctive voice. The first time I heard and was impressed by Kelly Clarkson was when she was on American Idol. I watched the episode before the finale and at first wanted Justin Guarini to win, until I heard her voice above the others in the group song. I haven't heard much of her music since, however. I just remember she stood out and I wanted her to win, which, of course...she did.
 
Taylor Swift is an immensely popular, and exceptionally beautiful, young lady who makes popular music.

As a music lover............ it's not for me. So I know who she is, but at the end of the day couldn't name or hum any of her songs. She strikes me as the typical kind of artist that belongs in a certain time. Different eras have a different set of mega-stars, and Swift is one for today. Sadly, my tastes are more the day before yesterday.
