People don't understand that how much she has done for music industry especially in behind the scenes without shouting her help. She brought country music into consideration, i didn't know what country music is but because of her people listened to country and loved it since. She did so much for vinyl sellers who were broke because of the steaming platforms and still does. She completely took her music out from Spotify just so that every person in the making of a song gets equal pay. Her whole catalog was taken from her, can you imagine your whole life's work, your stories are just sold to someone else. It's heartbreaking but she did what no one else can even dare to think , she made all of that music again, and with more songs. It's so tough to create all that music with similar sounds but because she was the one who created it , she did it again. And so many more things she had done and continue to do for the benifit of music industry and for the artist's rights. And apart from all this she is the most humble person I've ever seen. She is talented, songwriting and song making genius. She is the music industry. And whatever haters say , you cannot put her down coz she made her roots real tight. #swiftieforlife. #ilovemusic.

She also inspired me to learn playing the guitar so I could play her music 🥰
@@vamptowngirl6922 that's amazing. I wish you the best in your learning process.
It’s not the music. Plenty of people make great relatable music. It’s her relationship with her fans. She been solid with her fans since day 1.
I guess she loves us...600.00 for 3 hours she makes me sick I have bought her albums and loved her music for years but can't go to concert cause it costs too much. She doesn't cRe about me!!!
@FuzzyBubbles88 It's not really her, but more so the going rate. Ticket prices for big names in general are exorbitant, yet also sell out, which provides little incentive to decrease price.
@@fuzzybubbles88 you obviously don't understand how expensive it is to tour and all the costs and the people she has to pay. It's not like you're forced to pay for the tickets you choose to. And if you buy tickets and have other bills to pay and you choose tickets over your bills that's on you and only you.
💯
@@fuzzybubbles88 the price is not a reflection of her attitude towards her fans at all, it's the huge demand for tickets that has caused the price to rise. People are willing to pay exorbitant amounts to see her, so they do. Although it's an unfortunate situation for a lot of us, it's not her fault either.
What’s more impressive is that she doesn’t have any other business. Just music.
This👏🏽
Legendary
She knows how to make money for sure. From a business perspective every business can learn a thing or two from how Taylor Swift do ads and branding, absolutely amazing.
She can make the whole world shimmer ✨

@@stephane1623 don't mind him/her..he/she is a hater..this is not the first time this person is commenting like this in tswift videos..
@Kenef Guess ur parents does the same...plz ask them for me .
I saw her Eras tour here in Las Vegas. I've never been to a concert with such energy and so many deafening screams. It is WILD to hear the entire stadium sing pretty much every song with her!
i'm a 48 year old daddy, and i can't believe my wife and i just "fought" in the TicketMaster WAR for her Eras Tour Concert tickets... our beloved daughter suggested to us to watch the Netflix documentary Miss Americana and we were glad we did... We learned how she made her comeback after being slammed down by media/haters , and how Kayne West humiliated her on stage (not cool at all) and she didn't retaliate on-stage.... + how her singing career spanned from 16 years old to now 33 years old..... and hence we decided to go together as a family to the concert. & YES, we WON the ticketmaster WAR by being given queue #2691 (i didn't know virtual queue # could go up to > 1.5 Million !!!) and we managed to get the best vip 1 reserved floor seating. God bless Taylor and her crew as she goes about her 54 shows internationally. (it is truly taxing on her physical/emotional health) And also blessings to all the others wanting to get her Eras Asia tickets. Cheers!
She is no doubt the biggest pop star in the world rn. Her impact in the music industry is incredible, just look at the up coming new artists they all look up to her. Vocal might not be her strongest ability. However, she writes, play many instruments, produces, composes, directs mv, basically contributes into every step of the process of making her art. Moreover, her fandom is stronger than ever with a demographic of all age ranges. Even 17 years into her career, she’s still stronger than new trendy artists while all her peers who debuted the same time as her are slowly fade away already.
"Ask me why so many fade, but im still here"
i like her vocal though, very distinct and suited her songs well. Ican immediately recognized her song and her voice when on radio even though have never heard the song before.
Rep album had a great vocal!
She’s also got impressive vocals also. No, she’s no Mariah Carey or Celine Dion. But, her vocals are far too underrated.
Good to see the vinyl making a comeback again.
She is loved because she knows how to tell stories through her songs. PEOPLE RELATE TO HER, which translates to financial success.
the difference is that streaming is not only a one time thing, that money can generate for years instead of a one time sale, but of course you still need both!
She has done us all a great favor by providing her music. She has earned every penny.
Straight guy here, Just turned 30 a couple of weeks ago I mostly listen Rock music and Blues and some 80s pop, I've been listening to TS since I was 16 she is the only real Artist/Entertainer nowadays, most of the music that has come out in the last couple of years is trash, Girl is talented, cute and smart.
same bro. I am a fan of taylor since her teardrops on my guitar days :)
She is very likeable. Her music is uplifting and makes you feel good about life when mass media tends to drag you down.
She's like Nintendo, releasing old classics all the time for a new generation
And she deserves every penny. She's created countless jobs for people and stood up for the little guys when it comes to music.
With the eras tour, she will be the first billionaire solely from music. *The Music Industry*
Paul mcartney and Michael jackson are music's first and second billionaire.
@@a.d8509 The first female billionaire, perhaps?
@@a.d8509 I don’t think MJ was a billionaire
The eras tour won't make $500 million
@@michaelcooper9498 its estimated to make ~730m usd
It seems unimaginable that a record company could own your music. Taylor is so smart to be able re record her own music.
She's such a role model, which is why parents even love her.
How is she a good role model??
Maybe try googling her and her charity work and generous donations. Seriously, don't you even read?
@@karinaf8326Not to mention her work ethic, talent, success and is truly a genuine nice person.
@@karinaf8326bcz she stand up for artists rights.. she stands again unfairness in music industry & she hasn’t let anybody comes her way even when her all 6 albums where stolen from her.. she done a master stroke & re recorded them with new music additions & in high quality + mature voices, which makes her re recording even better than original ones.. she is not born to fail & that’s a inspiration 🎉❤
@@prashantvikramsingh9520 All of that is related to the music industry. So she is a good role model for an aspiring artist, but that’s about it.
@@karinaf8326 if anyone want to learn something from someone it doesn’t have to be your field of interest, i applies to everything.. talent & hardwork requires in every field along with music
Taylor swift is the music industry ❤️🔥
she deserves it...a great star
@@Clintsessentialsplzz your Noo has no impact on her.. even kardashian & west & scotter couldn’t stop her so who are u saying Nooo😂😂😂😂
Miller is a swiftie 100%
I've known her as a teenager in 2011 from Algeria, since then I knew she would became a game changer now I'm 27 years old
Hey i'm from Algeria too, and i'm a swiftie since 2018 :)
@@ilesgrande
Haha nice bro not a lot have this magnificent test in music in Dz Land 🤣
Taylor’s worth is closer to 1.3 Billion dollars with her music royalties being used in film tv and online advertising over the next decade
We just love Taylor Swift. We would do whatever for her. She changed my life.
She is worth WAY more than that i can promise you... Especially with all the records she has broken..etc and such. She is a hard worker.. And knows how to make that money!.. idc what anyone says. ❤
Only Taylor could shine in her performance on our universe ✨️ ❤😊💯🔥🙏😇😘🫶🙌😉👏🤲
The fact that Taylor Swift, P!nk, Kobe Bryant, Tina Fey, Kevin Hart, Bradley Cooper, and so many other celebrities grew up within an hour from my house is my weird flex.
I'm little and Young and I love her singing 💖🥺
Take it from me who's an adult swiftie. You young girl, you have an entire life of meeting new swifties becoming friends with them crying out loud to her songs ahead of you. Hope you have a wonderful year and a life 🙌🏽❤️.
Yet another analysis of our Princess, the one and only Taylor Swift.
Taylor swift _The Last Great American Singer
Taylor swift ....the worst rip off ever. I can't afford to go to concert but have bought all her stupid albums I kinda get a bad taste in my mouth when I sing her songs noe...greedy!!!
only a small group of musicians can captivate a giant stadium playing solo with just an acoustic guitar .. dylan mccartney sprinsteen mitchell petty .. and swift .. it's a joy to behold ..
She is very talented.
She is the music industry
just watching this video while listening Taylor song🥰🦋😬
I like Larry. He gives off Swiftie vibes 😍✨
She’s a Mastermind.
She soon gotta be a billionaire ❤
6:03 And we all know Taylor takes care of her employees! She is taking out of her personal wealth to give bonuses to these workers! I’m pretty sure she views everyone who makes these concerts possible the same!
Its her relationship with the fans that makes her most popular artist
Kudos to Taylor Swift (Much success now, and in the future...) Do your thing!
Good for her, she is smart too!
exactly
THE man
Swiftieee forever...
Vinyl sell more than cds??
L like taylor Swift.she so perfect 😍
We loveeee Taylor Swift from india 🇮🇳 🎉 she is great
She is this big for the same exact reason artists like BTS are big. The connection with their fans and the authenticity of their music. From day one they have established a close bond and respect for the people who buy and follow them, which shows. 'Cause now, people are willing to travel to another continent, buy merch and support the philanthropic causes they do.
c'mon people...she's the pinnacle of success & popularity bc of all we just heard in this video, but really...it's because she's a cat person, obviously! lol
I think Taylor has realised that when you do things for the right reasons and from the right place the success and the money follow and last for a long time. Flip that around and you only get short term success….As she herself once said:”Karma’s real”
ICONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
Have a great time in your Life
Taylor Swift has a team with a sharp business acumen… you can see it from her album & tour promotions
She didn't even promote it that much, her fans were already dying for any announcement from her.
Thing is she’s the head of that team, she has final say bc it’s a reflection on her name
She is gonna have sooo much amo an such.. to go towards her next album since her an Joe Alwyn have broken up.. Cant wait.😍
Not my type of music but then I'm fairly old. I remember grumpy Andy Rooney saying something like "I don't understand today's music. What I know as music is people like Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughn." And I was like ok grandpa. Now I guess I'm the one LOL.

Good for her,it was time for a super change 😃😆👋
She is young, beautiful, talented and now billionaire... Wow, if I had 0.5% of her networth my problems would be done 😮
13 days ago!
Look what you made her do 😂😂😂
hey guys, I don't know anything about investing and I'm looking to invest, any help? As well who can I reach out to?
It's amazing how people are trading without fear of making losses, while so many people out there are patiently waiting for Bitcoin price to skyrocket...😂
That's true. Its really needful for beginners not to settle for videos alone or they will see themselves losing all their money just like me when I newly started trading with this videos here on CZcams
I can smell the jealous comments from afar
To all the swifties ❤❤❤❤
Forbes update: it’s now $740M
EVH💯
It’s 740 million.
👏👏👏👏👏
In le mans terms : She is simply printing the money!
Taylor is worth atleast a billion...just by ownership of her catalogue alone...
#themusicindustry✨️
I don't why Taylor Swift being discuss so logically by a white, middle age man caught me off guard😅. Nothing on him though, I like how he takes her seriously, just not something I expect to see.
Although ST is not the greatest music artist, she is attempting to change some of the old arcadic rules.
I love you
Did the WSJ just say "vinyls?" JFC.
Sorry but Taylor Swift is NOT an 'Anti-Hero.' She's practically the opposite of one, been pushed, propped up and placed on a Pedestal since the start. She is NOT an underdog nor an anti-hero. Disagree there.
Anti-Hero is the name of her lead single from her 10th studio album, Midnights.

how? making many royalty free music for wsj
It’s creepy how much influence Taylor swift has on the amount of people who are fans of her it’s honestly unsettlingly suspicious
a lot of people can relate to her music. its not that deep
it's because some of the artist are treating their fans like garbage, taylor swift didn't
@@silly_hue-wheat that’s your guys problem, y’all think they actually care lol ever thought maybe they do what they do to get to the top like how she gave money to fans during Covid knowing they would share about it feeding her ego that’s so low as a person for anyone
@@zay_y so you're mad that she gave fans money during covid?
@@zay_y This is so wrong. She's an amazing story teller. Her use of words and phrases is very easy to understand. I know this because I learn English from TS songs during my teenage. Songs like Love story, you belong with me and most of her popular hits you can literally picture it scene in by scene your head. Maybe album like Folklore and Evermore's lyrics are more obscure but they only add depth to her already amazing song writing skill.
hottest woman of all time
Hi beautiful so charming always doing so excellent 🌹 you have a great courage bless you ❤️ ❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I just like the sound of her music. Not sure about relating to it and all that mumbo jumbo
💕💕💕💞💞💋
By breaking up with her boyfriends and making album based on their relationships.
Pretty much!
What now?
"anti-hero star" as if she hasn't made like 100 other hits

It's nice if you have a banker dad who manages your finances...:D
Imagine if she donates at least 20 million dollars 👀 could at least help millions of people around the world
this video could have just said "Fat girls" and been done with it.
These papers facts are wrong. She has over eight hundred million dollars of her own to her daddy's holding on to it but after this tour she will be worth over a Billion and a half dollars that's one point five billion dollars which these people would get their facts right
