    Are you a “Swiftie,” Loyal Theorist? If so then there’s a good chance you saw Taylor Swift perform live during her Eras Tour… that is, if you could get tickets to it. She has a setlist consisting of her best hits: 22, Look What You Made Me Do, Anti Hero, You Belong With Me, Shake It Off, and 40 other songs. It is over THREE HOURS! Trust us, it was a STELLAR setlist that gave a glimpse into every Taylor Swift era. But it got the Theorist gears turning. Why is Tay-Tay flipping between looks faster than we can say 1.. 2… 3… Let’s go Swift!

    what's so interesting about Taylor from lover to midnights is that those albums follow micro-trends that were at their peak when the albums were released without years later feeling dated. for example lover and the coconut girl aesthetic, folklore and cottage core, evermore and dark academia and midnights and the new anti clean girl aesthetic. considering that Taylor starts working on these albums months before they are released and the trend hits its peak (and in consequence because of how fast these aesthetics are introduced bc of tiktok), its like she's almost a forecaster (reminds me a lot of how in he early stages of her career she was the one of the only ones pushing for social media marketing)

      Midnights was expected to have that theme because 70’s music was going crazy last year. From As it Was by Harry Styles, Lizzo’s album, Beyoncé’s album, Future Nostalgia by Dua Lipa, it’s like everyone was doing 70’s themed something so Taylor just joined in late in the year

  • @SarahDarkhand
    @SarahDarkhand ปีที่แล้ว +1137

    Matpat u forgot to talk about the 2 aesthetics of midnights: the 70s aesthetic in the album art that feels more like what taylor would be wearing in her everyday life, and the hollywood glamor of her public appearances. It gives the impression that her music and lyrics are the closest we will ever get to truly knowing her, and its genius tbh

    • @krishafyme

Love and fashion, her and her team of experts have absolutely nailed it..She literally has major sitdowns at large tables of managers asking of ideas and what should be next and what their thoughts are on her next album..Theres ALOT to be unpacked here than just her putting on insane Super Bowl style concerts.

      except that Taylor's music and storytelling are actually brilliant and have both styles and substances. Today's K-pop has beautiful visuals but the music is actually underwhelming. It's all noises with little to no lyrics on hooks. They focus too much on visuals and dancing that they forgot that K-pop is actually a MUSIC genre. This is why the 2nd generation of K-pop is the best K-pop era.

    She also does a bunch of Easter eggs that keep hardcore fans engaged. For example, the first song on the eras tour is Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Prince. This is the 7th song off her 7th album. Nobody could have guessed that she was hinting at the release date for Speak Now TV until it was released that it would come out on 7/7/23

    The entire Swiftie community knows that she leaves clues and hints to future songs, albums subjects, tour dates, merchandise/ merch drops hidden in song lyrics, social media posts, videos years in advance sometimes.
    Nothing is accidental when it comes to Taylor swift and she's a master mind ;3 and I'm not alone in saying I love her music and that she's a lyricist genius!

    So accurate! I’ve been thinking for a while about why Taylor is so successful and I think it’s 3 things: her songwriting talent, her personality and ability to connect with fans, and marketing (including fashion). It is the combination of these qualities that make her unstoppable! Her song writing may well be looked over if she hadn’t kept evolving and connecting with her fans

    "I will never change, but I'll never stay the same either." -Taylor Swift❤ I don't know whether all these genius changes were Taylor's idea or not, but either way, there's no doubt that this woman is SMART...or should I say, a MASTERMIND?😉And the thing about her authenticity is that it's still there, it doesn't seem like she's ever tried to be someone she's not. You may like her music or not, but you can't deny that she's ridiculously talented, tremendously creative, and simply BRILLIANT!!!!!!💕💕💕💕

      Changing personas is one of the first things she ever did. You might have your nostalgia glasses on, since she even first addressed this in the end of her video for Look What You Made Me Do. Changing personas has literally never not been her brand. If you're looking for an artist more in line with authenticity than being a pop icon, then Lana Del Ray may be more up your alley, but let's call a spade a spade.

  • @username_creates6991

    Theres more to it. Her music and the way she writes lyrics. She lays a bunch of easter eggs for fans to pick up whats coming next or even like placing her age, a month of the year etc in her songs is like her littering pieces of a puzzle about her private life that fans are willing to solve. It makes it interesting and exciting. Also the lyrics in her songs. For eg. She doesn’t say what she’s feeling in the songs she describes it. For eg. She doesn’t say she hates herself she says “Id rather stare at the sun then in the mirror.” Her writing is incredibly beautiful and you can see she takes inspiration from her favorite poets. I think its not just the fashion its also the song writing and her love life that make her interesting to fans and relevant.
