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

[Coolin']

Hard to tell
taylor swift’s machine is massive and if they came around at the same time they would have different white girl markets
brittany was more of a bad girl type while Taylor swift is using the good girl persona
I think Brittany would perform similar to Katy Perry. She would beat her in the beginning but fizzle out

My fault for barging in on your convo, but I agree. Britney had already started to fade with her third album so I’m sure she wouldn’t have lasted even without her very-public mental break and struggles.

Because alot of black people are quick to shyt on their own to big up a new flavor of the month

Damn shame, we don't even have a Chitlin Circuit anymore to develop new flavors of the month to become household names in our own homes.

Tell your niece and sister to look up to her

I want to see what her spouse or s/o looks like first?

@humminbird if Britney Spears wouldn't have self destructed would she have been as big or bigger than Taylor Swift?

I'm sorry how old are you??? Britney was THEE pop girl of her time. Taylor is this generations Britney not the other way around(but without the mental issues.

That said, Parkwood tried to push Chloe x Halle as alt pop duo, girl next door when they were teens but it was crickets for them.




I keep seeing this argument about a Black Taylor but the consumers have to support it. Nikkas ain't start paying attention to CxH for real until Chloe did that Bussit challenge. White ppl don't believe Black women and girls to be innocent and Black ppl think it's corny and strange.

Look at how quick people flipped on Usher because there was a new kid named Chris brown in town (Who has yet to reach the heights of usher in his now 17 year career)

music skimming strikes again

’Midnights’ Is Taylor Swift’s Most Explicit Album By A Long Shot

Swift swears and curses her way through her often-profane tenth LP.

uproxx.com

or is this just another case of "yall hate black women"


A Reddit post from last year, shared following the release of Red (Taylor’s Version), showed that Swift’s album with the most swears (classified here as uses of the words “f*ck,” “sh*t,” “b*tch,” “hell,” “g*ddamn,” “damn,” and alternate forms of those words) was Evermore, with 18 total uses of swear words. That data could use to be updated now that Midnights has arrived, so I crunched the numbers.

Using the lyrics from the album’s songs, as listed on Genius, I tallied the uses of the aforementioned curses across the album (excluding the songs from the expanded 3am Edition) and found there were 28 swears: ten uses of “sh*t,” seven of “f*ck,” six of “damn,” three of “g*ddamn,” and two of “hell.” Add the mention of “dikkhead” in “Question…?” and we have a total of 29.

As far as the song with the most curses, “Lavender Haze” is the winner with ten (“damn” six times and “sh*t” four). In a three-way tie for second with four swears each are “Maroon,” “Vigilante Sh*t,” and “Karma.”

lol

since when was cussing in the same category as vulgarity?

Mickey's husband is mixed(Samoan and something else). She was one of the few ppl to call out that racist Morgan Wallen for saying nikka. She got a lot backlash from that crowd for doing it too.

We already had that.....

the Rihanna incident did that to him though

When Kennedy Holmes gets her shot and the right backing, you're gonna see a superstar. Just gotta finish high school first.

It's always a uphill battle for St. Louis talent but when we hit, we hit.

This dishonest narrative here! lol. You guys don't care about modestly dressed Black women. You don't. Stop acting like you do. That's why the industry refuses to put them on. Just remember Chloe, Janelle, Sza, all started out covered up.

If you really care about seeing more variety though, here you go. Consider this your starter kit. These women have been around for YEARS. If you like what you see and want to see more of it, please give them streaming views and likes. If you don't like it, stop complaining.

Anyone can become Taylor Swift with that Taylor swift backing.

Don’t blame it it on the consumer, blame it on the labels. They’re the reason behind why there’s not a black version.

Taylor Swift's dad is a wealthy 3rd generation Merryl Lynch banker who gave the record label 300k to push her.
How many black fathers have that type of money and social connections to do the same for their daughter?

 

[Hazel Brown]

Let’s not act like we all don’t know. We all know society only pushes the most ghetto black women to the front.

I mean let's take it a step further. Who was the last big major black male teen hearthrob like Justin Bieber? You got to go all the way back to Chris Brown pre Rihanna situation
