At the young age of just twenty-four, singer/songwriter Taylor Swift has already made her mark on the world. With four platinum records, several hit singles, and seven Grammy Awards, the young songwriter has been a source of both entertainment and inspiration for people of all ages. Unlike other artists, Taylor Swift is completely fearless with her songwriting. Whether she’s singing about her first day of school, falling in love, or breaking up with a boyfriend, Swift always shares intimate details about her personal life in her lyrics. Many people love this quality about her, but others think Swift gives women a bad reputation by appearing to be a flawless and blameless victim in her songs. Regardless of the negative thoughts some people have about her, Taylor Swift is undoubtedly a huge success and a role model for teenage girls all over the world. Personally, I absolutely love Taylor Swift. As a fellow singer/songwriter, I am envious of her ability to be so poetically honest because that is what I struggle with most when songwriting. I am always afraid that something I write will end up sounding silly or stupid, which ultimately prevents me from creating something amazing. But fear has surely never stopped Taylor Swift, and I think that’s what makes an artist like her so special. She openly writes about what she’s going through, and she doesn’t care about what other people might think about her. Whenever I listen to one of Swift’s songs, I can’t help but feel like it could have been written specifically for me. It’s almost as if she takes my thoughts and puts them into words, which is quite a valuable talent if you ask me. In fact, for every big milestone in my teenage life, there has been a Taylor Swift song that I could rel... ... middle of paper ... ...ches..." Stewart goes on and states how she believes that writing about her relationships is a child-like, immature thing for Swift to do, especially when the boy she is singing about is so blatantly obvious. Whether the views about Taylor Swift are positive or negative, she still has been extremely successful. Not only has she made lots of money because of her hit singles, platinum records and sold out concert tours, but she has also found a unique way to connect with her fans. Taylor Swift is both praised and ridiculed because of her music and the way she perceives certain situations, but the way I see it, there are going to be positive and negative aspects of every form of media. What sets Taylor Swift apart from the rest though, it how handles herself with grace, hard work and determination and I think that is something that everyone should respect and admire.
Trina’s intent was to create a song that liberated women from the double standards and stereotypical views placed upon them. Her song however can cause harm to young women that listen to take this song to heart. Instead of liberation, we are moved further down into the hole of degrading and devaluing women. Trina should’ve sent the message that these things were wrong. Instead she endorsed and encouraged them.
In " Blurred Lines" by Robin Thicke and Pharrell it talks about how a men humiliates a women.This song talks a about sexiest men and how he caresless about womens rigths or feelings, this song made alot of people angry becaause of how it talks about women.This song actually compares womens rigths and feelings to animals
Because Swift constructs a speaker who is meant to be seen as himself in “Verses on the Death of Dr. Swift, D.S.P.D.”, his approach to the satire changes, taking on a more playful approach. The poem is more personal than political, and is more comedic in the sense that he satirizing himself as well as other people groups. The self-defeating rhetorical approach is embodied in this poem in the way that he puts himself down and exposes his own follies throughout the poem. While this is no doubt somewhat tongue-in-cheek, this in some ways frees Swift from criticism from outside sources. It is difficult to wager criticism at someone who has already wagered it against himself. While this could also be seen as poking fun at other writers who are self-deprecating, this self-defeating narration is used mostly comically in “Verses on the Death of Dr. Swift, D.S.P.D.”. In spite of this, it does effectively build a narrator who is well defended in the sense that he cannot easily be criticized from outside sources.
I don’t agree with those who consider Swift a misanthrope. In my view, Swift does not hate or distrust human. Actually we can say that he has lost his faith in humankind. Perhaps he was tired of those who expressed hate towards the downtrodden and less fortunate, but his writing were an attempt to point out the others. If he hated mankind, he probably would not have pursued writing literature with the messages that his literature had.
She is well known for holding on to her songs which turn in, receive universal critical acclaim from critics and fans. She is a good artist and many fans love her . She won a Billboard Women In Music in 2010. She was Nominated multiple times . And won a Award at the BET Awards in
Taylor Swift’s influence over young girls ultimately leaves her in a position of power and responsibility. Swift is a role model, and as such, she is expected to empower her listeners with messages of independence, strength, and equality. Until Swift is able to utilize these tactics in her music, it is imperative that people do not buy her music, listen to her music, tweet about her, go to her concerts, write about her, or watch videos of/about her. As an alternative we highly recommend listening to Beyoncé’s works in order to incite discussion and eventually bring forth positive change in regards to feminism.
...o make people have a better day because they are blissful songs. They helped me through the past difficult year that I went though. She made me feel that there was someone out there who cared about me and would always be there for me. She taught me that it’s okay to weird. That weird is better. Even though I’ve never personally met Katy, I know without her and her music, many people wouldn’t be as happy as they are today. I know this because I wouldn’t be happy.
...history of music tells us, sometimes standing out is met by criticism. Brantley has mixed reviews as an artist because of his bad boy style and the messages he shares through his song lyrics. However, singing about drinking and partying is nothing new. Musicians have been singing about these things for decades. Just as the older generations in the 1960s wanted Rock & Roll groups to sing about wholesome things like love and relationships, many people still want country music to maintain a certain degree of innocence. But as we know, music evolves, and Brantley brings something new and different to the genre of country music. Even though his message might not always be happy-go-lucky, his music is something many people can relate to. Because Brantley sings about real events and real life, not an idealized version of it, he allows people to feel through his music.

I have chosen to make my biographical narrative about Kylie Jenner. Everyone’s opinions on Kylie are different, but I personally don’t think that she is that bad. Most debates about the Jenner and Kardashian family are why they are even famous. I actually have no idea how any of their careers started, but the things that Kylie has accomplished herself are definitely good reasons for her to be known by many people.
It is also very obvious that her parents are, and have always been, unquestionably supportive of her. Which is probably why she's not a train wreck as a result of her whirlwind rise to fame. She seems so incredibly grounded. Above all, there is no denying how intelligent she is, which was proven when she told Oprah that she completely avoids all news stories, social media blurbs, and any other gossip about her. She is wise enough to understand that even if she truly does not care what
The artists that she brings on stage with her at her shows aren’t all one genre. Lorde and Fetty Wap make completely different types of music with a completely different fan base, but somehow, when they performed with Taylor, the crowds went crazy. Swift and her team using this have not only been able to excite fans, but widen the fan base. Those who typically listen to Fetty Wap are most likely not the biggest Taylor Swift fans, but by aligning herself with his music she is able to widen her market even more.
...s and thoughts are still imbedded in many people's minds today. Swift is a satirist who compels us, by the complexity and indirection of his ironic methods, to be alert and aware at every point (Williams 5). Ultimately, Swift's greatness lies in his skill to make us think and feel for ourselves in new ways.
Do you remember when Taylor Swift’s Our Song came out and I would sing it constantly? Do you remember at the old house when we would go outside and you would sit on the front porch steps and I would perform that song for you? She’s been my idol since I was a little kid mom. If I remember correctly, I did everything like T Swiftie when I was little. When she took breaks in her singing career, I would take breaks singing.
If Swift truly hated humanity then he wouldn’t have written about it so much, he would have written about things that he cares about. Also, I don't think it is possible for him to hate humanity because not everyone is the same and it would be very hard to hate every single kind of personality or morality from every single person. Humanity is too broad
