    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!

    The interesting thing about Taylor is how she reinvents but STILL feels authentic. She walks this razor thin line of staying true to herself while changing herself enough to stay relevant.

    • @anna_in_aotearoa3166
      @anna_in_aotearoa3166 9 місяців тому +53

      To be honest, although I completely understand the survival aspect of all the changes, the fact that it all aligns so carefully with pre-existing social media trends makes Taylor's reincarnations feel significantly less authentic to me...? 😔
      Madonna seems a bit different in that although she was regularly changing her style, her choices were very individual ones (frrequently scandalous in fact!) and honestly seemed to set fashion trends for the current generations rather than following them?

      Yes! I get it and I got it I could never put my finger on what it was but I always liked and never got tired if Taylor never being s fan but she was always there and I didn't mind it and liked her. No I now hoe she remained relevant and seeming real without being pathetic or normal or unnatural. She seems like Barbie to me. There's s new personality each album/movie but it's still Barbie.

    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

      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.

    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)

    So accurate!

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

    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.

Only the Theorist, master of all four theories, could stop them, but when the world needed him most, he vanished. A hundred years passed and my brother and I discovered the new Theorist, a game theorist named MattPatt, and although his FNAF theory skills are great, he has a lot to learn before he's ready to save the Theories.
