What Kind of natural talent does Taylor actually have?

Cause to me, even as a country singer she was just ok at the most! Her old music didn't even sound country! It sounded like pop. I never would've known she was a country singer had it not been mentioned by the media.

- I cannot think of ONE natural talent that sets her apart from other artists.

- she can't really sing, her voice is flat.

- she can't dance (like at all lol)

- she can't act ( "Valentine's Day" looked god awful)

- she isn't creative with her song writing! It's always the same thing!

- the only thing she does is write diss tracks and whiny break up songs.

- She's no different than Katy Perry.

- Oh! and the "bad ass" image she's trying to portray is a rip off of what Rihanna did a couple years back.

She has a large market because she appeals to teenage girls.

Taylor was an excellent teen pop sensation who is not going to make the transition to mature adult pop star. Most of her peers are floundering in the same manor. Nobody cares about 40 year old Pink or Katy Perry. That's why they've turned to whack job activism, as TayTay is now. I think most of the talent at Camp Swift belongs with her makeup artist and song producers. It's not her lyrics that make the songs catchy and fun.

Very mediocre on every level , but she connected to tweens with her lyrics.
She’s an outlier, plenty of drive and $$$ behind her success

She's really good at marketing herself and making advantageous connections with celebrities.

When it was tween girls, she was sweet and relatable. When she realized all those girls had grown up, she tried to be bad-ass and promote surface-level feminism just as it was taking off (even when she wasn't necessarily representing the movement of feminism irl). When people were bored with her sweet/relatable persona because they didn't buy it anymore, she actually embraced that whole I'm crazy persona. Now that people have accepted beauty/fashion as an art form and are more welcoming to the LGBT community, she has/is too.

Also, because she's made connections with all the right famous people, these connections have helped her shape her intended brand, whatever that happens to be at any moment. She also has a habit of never being friends with anyone that has a strong opinion on anything, which is equally as advantageous to her brand.
