Taylor Swift "Mine"

OK, this might be the boldest move any mainstream pop artist has made. She has been toeing the pop artist script but this could backfire. I respect the boldness....
 
LOL that's the joke. There's nothing bold about it. It's in the same key and same tempo as every other one of her songs.
 
i don't get it.
 
Ok, against my better judgement I clicked on the song. Made it through the first chorus before I had to abort. Not sure what the big deal is here? Typical crap pop music.
 
LOL...not the song...the imagery of the video...she's knocked up and having a kid....Like the lyrics of a song actually make a difference, half the people can't correctly recite the lyrics to their favorite songs. C'mon people...video killed the radio star in the 1980's...I'm posting about the marketing angle....of course it's pop crap...but still better than anything by Katey perry...The next time I hear a Kalifornia gurl will melt my popsicle I just might off myself...you can only hope.

Cliff Notes: Her videos have been marketing genius because they tap into the every girl next door image and represent that wholesome idealism of youth...Compare and contrast that with her new video (marketing)...not the song!

I was posting about Everlast...which I respect as an artist. I've posted about respecting the Taylor Swift marketing arm before...but not the music. Tall skinny blondes are a dime a dozen these days...I have a few of them, under 21, in my chem lab....aspiring nurses...From what I've seen of the presentation thus far, Taylor Swift has had a solid marketing team unlike the has been Britney or her never was sister and Britney's sister had massive momentum to work from. My point being, making a turn to marketing the "girl next door" as a mom is a terrible idea. We'll revisit the thread in a year and I'll be correct...this will probably kill her career because she doesn't have real talent and they just made a major turn in their marketing.
 
Video killed the radio star...Image> Talent....

My point is that switching up your marketing might indicate you know the gravy train is about to end. :)

Ummm...I despise all dictators...natural...supernatural or otherwise. I respect my heritage and those that taught me how to be a man...Yes, that means I would fall on my sword if I failed but never for a tin plated dictator...How many times do I have to reiterate it has nothing to do with the music, the marketing is the key to everything. I agree, it's the same music with the same theme but nobody listens to it, they watch it first, and that's what matters. Watch every pop video from every artist that has produced multiple hits and you'll see what I'm talking about...it doesn't matter the genre.

I'm a Wintel programmer because that is my market and if Apple actually exceeds MS in profitable software development then I'm an Apple dude all the way...You assume I have an agenda other than profit? I do, but it's tempered by capitalism...:)

Most importantly, I don't whine about injustices that happened yesterday, decades or centuries ago...man up and shut up. There was a time in this country when Germans were lynched and imprisoned based on their ethnicity(racism). Hell, to this day someone that just meets me will probably assume I'm a dumbass bodybuilder based on appearance.

No, it's more like telling a coke addict no more cocaine...It really is annoying when common sense things are considered uncommon because you're surrounded by retards........Show me a modern marketing construct that I can't deconstruct...Oh, that's right...you're too dumb to understand the marketing aspect and are distracted by shit that doesn't matter....Taylor Swift sings the the typical tripe...nobody disagrees...Her marketing team has made her more moneyz in the last six minutes than either of us will see in a lifetime....I'm wondering why they made the decision to make her a mom in her most recent campaign which is a complete departure from everything that has made her successful.
 
JG, Taylor is a cute girl and everything, but her performance as a live vocalist for the NFL kick-off was gawd awful

just sayin'

Of course, most pop star can't actually sing.....That's why they're pop stars...it's all about marketing a product/image. She's been marketed as the cute girl next door but this video tries to make her into an adult...not an easy transition. Madonna has re-invented herself a number of times but name me another pop artist/ marketing scheme that has been around for ten plus years and keeps selling records....New Kids on the Block, Spice Girls..etc....etc... Massively successful marketing machines but no real artistic value.

Yeah, but the other "artist" you named were entertainers for their segment.

Taylor literally performed her whole set with her feet set at shoulder's width ... either with a guitar in her hand or knot.

When she exceeds the 100lb barrier her cuteness will wane and she'll be an after thought

Once again, of course it's the same beat/tempo,it's pop music, I'm talking about the marketing angle. The video portrays her as a mom which indicates they're trying to transition her from a tween star to a broader audience.

Actually, I sleep between four and five hours a night and I usually don't go to bed before 2:00 A.M.

It's bold in the sense they're marketing her as an adult as opposed to a teen. Trying to make the transition but it usually isn't successful...everyone seems to miss the point. You can youtube the video and read the comments...
 
LOL...wiminz are haters...the entire point of this thread is about marketing... Yes, wiminz aren't nearly as pretty sans war paint. You might have a point if EVERY WOMAN didn't wear make-up...at least she's still tall and skinny unlike the chicks that wear super slimming spandex undergarments that put a powerlifting bench shirt to shame in constriction and performance enhancement.

You're giving Java too much credit here... search his old posts and you'll see he's a little Swift groupie.

I'll admit I'm biased for tits on a stick but my point was at the end of the video...showing the "girl next door" as a knocked up mom. Most recent pop starz, Brittany..Christina..., all went from teen pop star to slut and failed.
 
This is her performance from the ACM....not a particularly good singer but I suspect she has an "after the music" as a songwriter for more talented artists.


I had a chick in lab tell me Taylor and Carrie Underwood have a feud...I suspect it's based on the fact Taylor is the taller and skinnier blond but I may be wrong.

I've always thought Jewel has a great voice and she writes her own stuff...

listening to taylor swift...that's not incredibly gay
Click to expand...

So says the dood with the biggest whiney vagina I've encountered on EF. See my previous post on another thread for clarification....If listening to Taylor Swift is gay then every person in America that listens to the radio is gay. I didn't even know who she was until I had a thirty minute commute to BGSU last year.
 
I think convos about Taylor Swift belong in that thread about sensitivity with the butterflies and unicorns.

I don't have a single pop music artist on my playlist...just sayin.' The first time I heard a Taylor Swift song was two summers ago when I listened to my radio while making the commute to BGSU...my new car has an Ipod adapter. :)
