Taylor Swift: An Influential Business Woman

Anytime someone takes a complicated emotion and simplifies it so I know it like I know the ABC’s, my heart wells with pride and admiration with an intensity that's slightly embarrassing. The album is uniquely defining for me mainly because it fits into so many aspects of life. Although it has a seemingly shallow message about her ex-boyfriend Harry Styles, I have always thought of it as slightly deeper. With lyrics like “This love is alive back from the dead” and “Take my hand and don’t ever drop it, my love” I relate it to daily life. One song describes a time when all you want to do is hide, but the next track describes something beautiful and lovely. Just like one day the storms are raging everywhere I go, but the next God has cleared the skies and created something lovely. The album taught me to not be ashamed of who I am or what I believe, so for that I owe Swift big time. Finally, I recently fell in love with writing songs and at 1989’s core it's just the result of great songwriting. Songwriting does for me what punching someone does for someone

Whether or not she wants to be, Taylor has proven herself to be a very devoted person to what she feels is important or to

Many people know Taylor Swift as the fun and adorable semi-pop and semi-country singer, but many people did not expect her recent letter towards Apple. What spawned her unexpected outspoken response? Apple decided to give users of iTunes a three-month trial period for their newest streaming system. What was the catch? Well, for customers, there wasn’t one. We simply got three free months of great music that we chose. However, for musicians, Swift saw a large injustice.

Over her 10 years of being in the music industry Taylor Swift has won 271 awards.

Taylor Swift surprised all her public with her recent album "1989" that was release on October 24,2014.. Not a lot of musical artist would dare to reinvent their sound so drastically. Taylor Swift's new album "1989" was made in a very different way apart from the country style Swift has on her past songs. Although she is still singing about relationships and love songs, this album is a definitely the end to her country style.

In the song ‘Blank Space’ by Taylor Swift it talks about the media's perception of a person and how they can manipulate it and turn it into something else. In the song Taylor plea’s when she say’s” I can make all the tables turn rose garden filled with thorns keep you guessing like “oh my god, who is she?” implying that with her façade she can manipulate people. An example of satire she used in her song was “Love's a game, wanna play?” showing humor in what love has become to or what it can turn into. In the end money and fame can make you or break you emotionally and socially.

Recently, 24- year old country singer/popstar Taylor Swift released a music video “Shake it Off” which was I sort of introduction to her newest album 1989. The video received some backlash for it was seen by many as offensive, and stereotypical to African American Culture. In the video Swift dresses in what some may consider Hip Hop attire, attempts to “twerk” and even has a section where she partially sings as well as raps. She even uses talks about

Along with Taylor Swift saying this will be a new her, she is also referencing multiple other celebrities throughout the music video. Some say that when she is lying in a bathtub full of diamond jewelry she is making fun of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West when they had been robbed. Kim and Kanye were robbed in Paris while being at gunpoint. She also referenced Katy Perry multiple times. Including, when she crashed her car into a light post and had the exact same hair and an outfit style as Katy Perry would have. Which is Taylor is making fun of Katy saying that she is a drama queen and needs the attention of the paparazzi. She also references Katy by showing her walking a cheetah on a leash and Katy Perry is known for cheetah print and exotic things. Another person Taylor shows reference to be Tom Hiddleston with the black crop top t-shirts saying “I Love Taylor Swift” which is significant because Tom and Taylor dated for about three months, but Taylor broke it off because Tom wanted to go public and Taylor knew what

Thesis statement: Taylor Swift is one of the most successful female artists in the world who portrays her personal experiences through her music.

I need to get something off my chest. It’s something that I am sick and tired of reading about. Taylor Swift gets so much hate that she does not deserve. If you stop reading this because you’re thinking “I don’t care. I don’t want to hear it. I just don’t like her” YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM. What the fuck did she ever do to you that made you so bitter?

Both Singer and Swift feel the need to help those less fortunate and want other people to know that they can help.

Taylor Swift recently released a music video for her new song “Wildest Dreams”. After the video being released people have started to lash out at Swift saying the video exhibits racism. However, this has not been the first time that Swift has received negative feedback. Last year, in the music video of “Shake it Off”, Swift crawls through the legs of twerking black women. This scene also drew a lot of controversy from viewers all over the world. Once again the racist comments have risen, but is it really racism or are people just too sensitive?

In 2008 Swift was nominated for a Grammy in the Best New Artist Category, and many other awards. Around this time she had already released her next album Fearless. By the end of the year she was already the highest selling country

For my Taylor Swift assignment, I took very detailed notes on the music video to try and help me get a good idea of exactly what was going on. I then decided to have my main focus on the dark spots on Taylor Swifts career. I decided to focus on these because most of the music video focused in on her past and how it has changed her to be a new person. In the video, there was also reference to taboos which I explained in my writing. I was very confident on this paper and decided not to revise for that reason.

However, she soon fell off of Forbes list as she continues to donate a significant portion of her money to charities. In 2011, she gave away about 16% of her net worth, or $160 million dollars to charity. She has been involved with several charities, including working for Amnesty International, funding MS research for the Multiple Sclerosis Society Scotland, and being an Ambassador of One Parent Families. In addition, she founded Lumos; a charity driven to help children living in Eastern Europe who are needy and underprivileged. Maybe the fact that J.K Rowling knows what it is like to be indigent and poor, because she lived off of welfare once while being a single mother, makes her donate her money to these charities. Her contributions and her volunteer work have been a great example of taking action to see change, and inspire people to do the
