can i say something-

no one ever talks about taylor swift´s lasting legacy being the merging and popularization of the modern-day popstar/songwriter.

music being diaristic has always been true but the concept of a POPSTAR, POP music, being used as an intimate one to one. She built that bridge in 2006 and never looked backed

#I jsut saw a tweet about how taylor´s pop success and songwriter brand is a huge reason why nowadays #people are quick to call pop inauthentic. Like its fine to not write your own songs but somewhow #its now quickly labeled as inauthentic and fake #when thats not how it worked before #I mean you had the POPSTARS rmebered as THEE performers of all time #and then THEE songwriters rememebered as mdoern day poets #she´s branded herself as both and its had its impact on how the gp talks about music #and liek YES IVE BEEN SAYING THIS #her legacy as a performer and musician is a given #but if people remember her for anything #it´ll be her diaristic intimate soul-bearing songwriting to a catchy tune #obviously theres a different convo here about how good her pen actually is BUT #its the unprompted honesty that makes it stick
