“What makes Taylor Swift the role model for an entire generation”: A journey crafted in passion , purpose and poetry.

“Reputation” by Taylor Swift

For over decades now, the Hollywood music industry has been dominated by many big names but what changed the game when Miss Swift entered the industry? Swift has chosen not only singing with guitars as her profession but has made songwriting her niche. That’s what separates her from the rest of the artists .

She doesn’t just scribble words on a paper which will have no meaning when sung , she rather infuses them with poetry. The fact that she’s also heavily influenced by it is visible in her latest studio album “The Tortured Poets Department” where she mentions about Dylan Thomas and Patty Smith, and also draws references from the 1989 film “Dead Poets Society.”

Swift started out as a country artist when she was just sixteen years old and switched to several genres in the past decade . From country to art pop to synth pop , she has done it all. The versatality not only in her songwriting but also in the type of instruments she uses for her albums makes her unique in her own flavour. Most importantly , she writes her songs from the point of view of her listeners. In an interview Swift told, she reflects whether the story she’s trying to tell is only her own or will millions of people across the globe will relate to it and find a home in them.

There’s an indomitable spark in Swift that helped her survive in the cruel music industry for so long where every new artist line up to take your place. Recently Swift ended her 2 year spanning world tour which she fondly named as “The Eras Tour” after which she not only surpassed Michael Jackson but also officially entered the billion dollars club.

The Eras Tour was a masterclass in business and and was an industry on it’s own. It helped boost the economy and tourism of all the countries she toured . Reports suggest her tour singlehandedly generated more funds for Singapore in a year than Singapore Grand Prix could never.

Taylor Swift — The Music industry herself.

As a Swiftie( fan of Taylor Swift) myself , I’m heavily influenced by her work and persona . A career spanning eighteen years , she has managed to do what only The Beatles had done. Her aura is unmatched and a lyrical genius like her is only here to thrive longer.
