Yeah. I grew up on country and remember her first CMT music videos during my formative years.
Waaaay before she was famous, and all the teen drama songs were appropriate.
But she's had a death grip on that genre so long, her current competitors weren't even born when she released her first album. Legitimately, her first song released 19 years ago at 18, I checked.
That's like people say all the "versions" are just a cash grab, but it's more nefarious, for over a decade when a young female artists releases a big album for that demo, Taylor drops a new version to steal sales away from younger artists.
She's got a pure boomer mentality about it. She'll never try to bring the next generation on, she intentionally and consistently puts them down so she can maintain her position at the top of the pile.
There's zero indication she can grow as an artist, and more and more people are considering that sad.
Shes gonna go from the world's biggest start to a joke very fast, but it'll still take years to really start.
