Why isn't there a black version of Taylor Swift?

[Spiritual Stratocaster]

Does H.E.R. count?

She half Asian..black girls can't see themselves in a girl mixed with filipino.

 

[TDA92]

Thank you.

A black Taylor Swift in this day and age would be viewed as corny if we’re being honest.

 

[TDA92]

I meant modern day brother. We haven't had another Brandy in damn near 30 years now. She was so big she had her own Barbie Dolls and Cinderella stories.

Why can't we get another Brandy?

Nobody is going to support another Brady. That goes for fans and record labels.

 

[TDA92]

There's no black Taylor Swift, or another R&B superstar because there is virtually no support. This is the real answer.

i always thought willow smith would have filled that lane eventually, summer fling was such a nice song.

then she lost her marbles

 

[Tribal Outkast]

Got to do stuff like this for attention smh.

 

[Sauce Dab]

all i needed to know

I'll let her significant other spread the word while I go listen to this summer walker

She ain’t a c00n breh. You can still spread the word, as far as I see she ain’t on that shyt. If anything it’s the opposite

 

[African Peasant]

Are you talking about the vulgarity?

nikka, all of the popping black female artists eclipse that shyt in 1-2 songs.

Like 28 swear words is a big deal when 11 of those barely classify as that.

This is thecoli where 1 = 100.

 

[BaggerofTea]

Indie arie was black Taylor swift

 

[The Plug]

Taylor Swift is a slut though.

 

[Dr. Acula]

taylor swift‘s music is outdated. Soon she will be doing vegas casinos

White women love Taylor swift. She will never be outdated with them. I work with some who would give their lives for that beanpole.

 

[King Static X]

She half Asian..black girls can't see themselves in a girl mixed with filipino.

Nah, not true.

Also, just by looks, at least to me, it's not obvious the H.E.R. is half Filipino.

 

[SadimirPutin]

Lets look at some of the major selling acts of the last 2-3 decades
for
Backstreet Boys(by the way white women show up in fukking droves to their concerts to this day...them white boys will eat forever off that catalogue)

N'Sync

Adele

Celine Dion

Britney Spears/Christina Aguilera to a lesser extent

Maroon 5

Bon Jovi

Garth Brooks

Katey Perry

Ariana Grande

Eminem


Tell me if ANY of you think a black analogue of any of those could have equivalent success given the same music or type of music


shyt Bruce Springsteen and Billy Joel could get up tomorrow and sell out Barclays or the Garden for a week straight

 

[King Poetic]

These are the people in control of the music industry!!!

Their views of the black community and music today is based off of sex and material shyt and you know what.. the black community accepts it because we have the Mona Scott Young and Steve Stoutes who trying to keep they pockets full, so fukk having a Taylor Swift black girl make similar music on a big stage , let’s put out all the same types of Megan, Cardi B and nicki Minaj and sprinkle in about 2 talented black women so we don’t get criticized

 

[Higher Tech]

I need a soldier Beyonce

Ill be honest… I’ve never really listened to either one of their music so I just took it as superstardom comparison
