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

[VoxSphere74]

You mean where's the Black female singer who does PG-13 music that's not an ode to her vagina and how she'll put out if you pay her bills?

Black women sadly don't want it. They want vulgarity. And as others mentioned Beyonce is the closest thing and her songs are filled with pure filth.


But there are no Black women music artists like Taylor who sell because Black women reject it as corny.

It was her before she started making songs for Lane Bryant commercials and Target ads.

That whole affair with Swizz Beaks really tainted her “wholesome” image too.

right is right and wrong is wrong. yall morals go how the wind blows

nikka, shut the fukk up.

You're worrying about curse words, and completely ignoring the subject matter which the actual songs are comprised of.

You're literally missing the forest for the trees...

No before she got with swizz

 

[OnlyOneBoss]

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

Facts

98% of her fans would be white too lmao let’s be serious Black women don’t listen to Taylor Swift like THAT and they prolly wouldn’t go out their way to hear a black contemporary

Taylor Swifts first album came out in 06, she’s from a different era

When you have songs like WAP being hits and artist like Cardi, City Girls, Meg, Ice Spice, etc… blowing up people will continue to make that type of music and that’s the type of music that’ll be pushed

Until that type of music loses its popularity or something else comes along and overtakes it that’s what it’s gonna be

Poor Mashonda.

She seemed like the type of jawn that would curse your block off, but cook you some lit Hello Fresh meals and fukk your block off

 

[humminbird]

it would take me a paragraph to go in
bibi bourelly was pretty close

Taylor Swift was the main one singing Nicki's lyrics at the MTV music awards

Fam, even the artists black women fukk with don't sell even half of what Swift's album is about to.

I might catch some heat for this, but nikkas don't buy music.

This album is about to be Taylor's fifth that sales at least 1 million units first week, and the common theme throughout is that her physical sales are high. Physical sales for hip-hop and RnB artists are in the goddamn gutter 90% of the time.

I’d say the “black Taylor Swift” is HER.

She’s been in the game since she was a teen.

She’s won Grammys, an Academy Award, BET Awards and Soul Train Awards

She writes her own songs and produces many of them

She’s one of the most acclaimed R&B performers of her generation.


Only thing she can’t stack up to Swift is sales, but NO black female entertainer can stack up to Taylor Swift in sales, not even Beyonce. So minus sales and you’ve got similar acclaim, awards, and overall respect

 

[TEH]

Taylor Swift is not original

She copies other artists style

Especially when she first got popular it was Lana Del Rey

Of course an unoriginal swag jacker is going to be popular

Because there’s no money, in the black girl next door archetype. Brandy was a long time ago. People today would’ve said she has no personality, and is boring. Why? Because she wouldn’t be on some fukk shyt. It’s sad because black female entertainers can, only be the bad bytch/boss bytch/Jezebel archetypal. While white female entertainers can be so much more.
