Sis literally did a whole TED Talk
Honestly this whole speech was such a power move. She spoke for 15 minutes and was not getting off that stage. Her role in the industry may change in her 30’s but if ones things for sure she is not going away anytime soon.
😂 She sure did!🤣
I added this to my TED Talk playlist.
Is there’s something wrong with it
Omg I love your comment
“lately I’ve been focusing less on doing what they say I can’t do and more on doing whatever the hell I want.”
*drops a folk album with less than a day’s notice*
Walker Harris when is that?
@@nunyahpprinter I'm not entirely sure what you're asking but on July 24 Taylor released a surprise album, Folklore, written entirely during the pandemic
YES!!!!
Yes she literally told her record label about it just 24 hours before release and the public just 12 hours before release
And now she is literally dropping another album in less than a days notice, god I love her
This is not a speech. This is the journey of a female artist in the music industry.
get a life loser
super profound.
Can you explain to me why so many super successful artists of today, and the past, were women? If men are not allowing women to have success? Madonna, Rihanna, Miley, Tina Turner, Alanis Morissette, Sheryl Crow.. I mean the list is huge. Madonna is one of the biggest selling artists of all time and she started in the 1980s. And Swift herself went Platinum at age 19 and won countless awards from the music business (Grammys etc). So how did it conspire to stop her success? She never complained at all about how her management and record label let her go about presenting her music pretty much how she wanted... not once until now. Just the opposite.. she used to regularly heap praise on Big Machine and Scott and all the people working with her to make her a success.
I don't get it...not much of what she says makes much sense. And at the end of the day, it is the public who decides what they want to buy... have you ever bought a record you didn't want to buy? Right.. you didn't. So artists just have to make music that people want to buy and they will be successful.. MAN OR WOMAN.
And I'll make another point. There are many who would say the only reason Swift has become so successful is because the music industry has relentlessly promoted her and propelled her to the top. I don't completely agree with that because she has brilliant musical talent, but a lot of people who don't make it (male or female) also have talent. So it does not add up that the music industry is against women.
Of course there are sharks and ruthless exploitative business practices in the industry, but they are applied equally against men just as much as women.
At the end of the day to the business people it is about making money, and I really don't think they care about whether the artist is male or female.
Taylor has a beef with a couple of particular men.. and she seems to have projected it across the whole industry.
And I say again.. people buy what they want to listen to.. and music has never been more easily accessible through the internet.. and I see as many female artists as male.
So where exactly is the misogyny?
Serious question.
They both can be true at the same time. It's not an either/or.
“I would tour constantly. I would work on my vocals every day and perfect my stamina in a live show”. And 4 years later, we have the greatest stadium tour of all time. We did it, Taylor 🥺
We? What did you do? Sit around and wait
@@dlgirl62 what? I was saying this in defense of her. “We” as in a figure of speech (see: “we did it, Joe”)
Greatest stadium tour of all time is a bold statement 🤔 maybe her best tour
@@limoncelloglisterinit’s literally about to become the highest grossing tour of all time so yeah they right
@@cece6652 if somebody tour from 03-2023 to 08-24 it should be. Best/greatest doesn’t mean highest grossing tho

@Kenefv2 Why you sound like a 10 year old... that's the part that's not clear
@Kenefv2 ew, wtf
@Kenefv2 your talking abt other ppls s3x life its weird
This speech is literally mirrorball.
:)
Gotcha.
More like a cross between "mirrorball" and "The Man"
WAIT YOU ARE SO RIGHT
Why
i like how she introduced herself like she’s not taylor swift
Yup. She does that on every award show and concert. It’s a sign of respect
Kelly Jin after all those years, she still introduce herself like: “hi I’m Taylor” yes Taylor, we know you...I mean, you’re famous so... 😂
@@franny7997 yeah, that's exactly why she does that. Because she doesn't want to speak to us like she's "famous" or above us. It's a way of showing humbly/modesty
@Pastor Dab The man
@@esquire6895 yeah,that sign of Taylor mutual respect.And i respect her forever
"Somewhere right now, your future woman of the year is probably sitting in a piano lesson or in a girls choir. And today right now, we need to take care of her"
actually everyone should be taken care of. Not just some retarded singer.
stupid thing to say.
@@sethhillyer4443 could you explain why?
@@Silverware22 its pretty obvious more than one person is important. lol
I think it's referencing her speech when she won Woman of The Year in 2014 and then Billie Eillish won that same award in 2019, and she was taking piano lessons back in 2014
this speech is so empowering and optimistic. i CRIED when she mentioned how the next woman of the year is probably at a piano lesson or a girls choir. it gives us so much hope and strength to keep going with passions and dreams.
She's so classy even when shading her enemies
She's smart as hell and has been in the top of the industry for soo many years... she knows what's up
i see you oikawa
A class of her own
Oikawa! No wonder I like you
A Swiftiekawa stan omg
*Taylor Swift talking about Billie is like a big sister talking about her younger sister. ❤*
@Anika That's what I thought lol
Not only was she great in the 2010's, but she is also amazing in the 2020's. Folklore, Evermore, Midnights, the re-recordings. If she keeps it up, she can win two woman of the decade awards back-to-back.
I cried. This speech was so well thought out & presented. Taylor spoke nothing but facts.
i love that she still introduces herself even when she is WOMAN OF THE DECADE
Decade
rainbow 01 ahah that’s what i meant srry
@@florawilson no problem
@@florawilson thank you for considering it.
For aliens who don't know Taylor Swift
Everyone is talking about how the audience is so silent, but I think that's actually more respectful, they're actually listening to what she has to say. This is not a concert, it's a speech.
True true
True
Fr
Yup I know but I feel they meant the ending standing ovation and huge cheer was a NEED
Indeed
She speaks with a level of confidence and class that’s so inspiring
I truly don’t think there’s anyone more qualified to talk about this subject than Taylor. And no one more deserving of this award. My forever inspiration😌
Wats her story
@@hell1207 watch her documentary “miss americana”
❤ exactly 💯
no
What Taylor said is really correct. History is repeating, Billie is getting a lot of hate, cause she achieved success beyond people's comfort level.
Yes, Taylor earned 850 Million $ the past 10 years and Billie (only 18) 100 Million $ in 3 years, thats above the comfort level of some.
Perioddd
Those critics are justified.
because we don't like her, nothing to do with success, please lmaoo
people love to hate on successful women
She's the one receiving award yet she compliments so many other artists in her own award acceptance.
I just love her so much.
calm down
When did she do that?
Kudrat Dutt when she mentioned the names of a lot of female singers, praised lana del rey and talked about billie eilish in the end?
She led me to search all of the artists she mentioned and ended up liking most of them😁
Liz M oh please don’t lie.
So glad that Tahani come back to the earth just to hold Taylor’s award.. She’s such a good bf, deserves be in the good place!
Let's remember that she was there to support her goodfriend Taylor when she was rudely upstaged by her other friend Kanye who was defending her best friend Beyonce.
9:59 the pain in her voice when she talked about her music being sold without her consent
and now in 2023 she own three out of the six stolen versions.

"focusing more on doing whatever I want" *Taylor now dropping Wildest Dreams out of nowhere* she really is doing whatever she wants
I'm a metalhead by nature, but Taylor Swift is my guilty pleasure. 'Shake It Off' is pure pop perfection. She is one very smart individual and deserves every ounce of her success.

@@NhuNhu-888 WTF??
@@NhuNhu-888 what's wrong with you duh
Taylor is definitely the representation of women in the music industry. The way that she has reinvented her self so many times during the years is incredible and I couldn't be more proud of some like her who's taking her experience and is using it to empower women. Taylor deserves everything, all the love and support from her fans and for sure should be able to be the one and only owner of her records. As long as Taylor keeps singing there will be a voice for all women in the music industry.
Interesting conundrum, they thought they were tearing her down when in fact they were building her up and look at her shine now!!👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌
I really like her. She really matured so well before she turned 30. She's smarter, stronger, and more socially aware so fights for her beliefs. She's a well-rounded artist and as she said, smart businesswoman. All the best to TS and hope she finds the person that makes her happy and greatest version of herself.
Dude she forgot to mention how they blamed her for being “skinny “ and when her body changed a little bit they started calling her “fat “ .....
Excellent point!
helen kareem idk about you guys but that one isn't really as big as other incidents so it might not even reached her or she may not even heard about that before
Haha I remember them blasting her for setting unrealistic goals by being "skinny" and hanging out with models.
Boo hoo they called a skinny girl fat lol
She was skinny and now she has fat thighs for real!!!!
Honestly, as I get older, I understand her a lot more. She’s very brave and strong. I used to dislike her because of the internet, without even listening to her side of the story. Now I regret it.
Same. I bought into the internet gossip about her for way too long. I’m glad my mind opened up after a while. She’s a boss artist.
Me too she’s a great person but the media made me dislike her until last year where I start to listen to her
Isn't it funny how we were told by people to hate her...for no reason other than her being a successful artist. I remember coming across so many comments just bashing her. But, now that I'm older I understand her better and feel bad that I disliked her for no reason.
I'm glad ever since she been out there i didn't listen to those internet rumors. She's been alot but look at her now
This entire comment thread has shown major character development ❤ people can appreciate life so much more once they keep their prejudices and judgements aside
She definitely deserves all of it . All of what she said and made concerns about was absolutely correct . Too good and full support .
i love how she starts by introducing herself as just taylor, like shes nobody special, shes so humble
@Jayson M you’re just copy pasting your comments have fun hating on FEMALE OF THE DECADE
@@XTMorin365I know this was commented a year ago but I’m just extremely confused about your own arrogance. Your comments feels majorly misguided, and none of it quite makes sense. It is her award, that she’s winning, on behalf of herself, so of course she’s going to celebrate the hard work she’s put in to get there. She’s written and performed her own music, and she worked hard to get to where she is now - so it’s kind of obvious she’s going to congratulate herself on that. However, she didn’t just talk about herself. She spoke about dozens of other female artists that also worked hard to get to where they are, and thanked them for their hard work in the industry as well. As for shifting all the blame for everything that’s ever happened to her onto somebody else - every bad thing she brought up WAS the fault of somebody else? She spoke about constantly being torn down by the media, which is in fact the media’s fault and not her own. She spoke about her music being sold without her knowledge, which is in fact not her fault. It feels like people like you hop on the internet just to spread unnecessary hate and anger into places where you shouldn’t even be. You’re not obligated to like her, that’s totally okay. So why are you on a video solely about her responding to her fans to make them feel bad? Sounds like a very lonely and sad waste of your time. Find a hobby instead of spreading negativity about a woman who has struggled and worked hard to be where she is today.
@@JaysonM695 Addressing problems and the fact that they require solutions is not negativity, and ignoring them certainly isn't positivity. She was not boasting, rather sharing an experience. A speech in which one shares their experiences in an honest and raw way is much more interesting and thoughtful than a speech where one credits all their success to others in order to appease people like you. At the end of the day, Taylor Swift is responsible for Taylor Swift's success and she should be allowed to say it. Male artists center their speeches around themselves constantly, which is not what she did anyways, but receive no backlash for it. She addressed problems which need to be solved in order to make the music industry a place where young artists can own their own music. She took time out of a speech about herself to defend artists who have been harmed by the industry. I'm so sorry that we no longer live in a time where women must credit their success to men, or stand by while their hard work is taken from them.
Is noone gonna mention how great of a public speaker she is? She just pulled out a 15 minute speech and spoke fluently off by heart and it was awesome!
She’s reading off of a screen but yeah

@@kso4068 Hey she said anything dont blame me
Yay Anal sex
when she said "woahh this is going great so far" i genuinely cracked up like that was SO savage yet so subtle😂😂she really deserves every bit of the recognition she gets
This is one of the most beautiful, brave, and piercing speeches ever - but then again, this is one of the best writers ever too. As a little girl back when she started, until now that I’m a woman myself, I always drew strength from her music, and many other women’s - and I take pride and comfort in knowing that the woman I just blindly supported and loved as a child for her music, is also a woman that as a thinking and feeling adult, I now identify with and choose to support for what she stands for, and would choose to do so for all time.
P.S. I love Jameela Jamil’s presence on that stage too - one of the biggest feminists and advocates ever. I already know she supports everything Taylor said.
I love love love the fact that she calls out Scooter Braun, not even privately but straight up says it. Another reason why she is one of the strongest pop artists in history. Ariana has to look over that contract and get out as soon as possible. Two inspirational women can't be stepped on.
I'm the biggest Ariana / Taylor fan and it makes me sad Ariana is with him, not only because of what happened with Taylor but he is such an asshole is unbelievable 🥺

Sorry, can someone explain why this audience is so dead? How excruciating for her to carry on giving such amazing insight with barely any support.
@DarrMIX i think they are afraid of her or jealous of her talent. The audience there are such losers!!
Seriously!!
I think they muted the crowd.
I mean she is talking in emphasis way and always people usually sit silently and listen. Using a deeper and emphasis voice that she used in that silence people would be silent and listen. I'm not good at explaining it but it's just the way she talks that everyone is moved and is kinda into it that they forget to clap. Yes it happens 😅 people do that intentionally maybe she didn't but it happened
People there are not fans but people in the industry. This is a formal event. Like an warding ceremony. You don't scream "OH MY GOSH TAYLOOOR!" there. It's formal. It's already great that they're laughing once in a while and clapping their hands.
AHHHHH taylor is so extremely well spoken. everything she said was pure gold she is and always will be the moment
I’m watching this in 2023 and it’s still so empowering and inspiring by a female artist who’s been hated by people in the past two decades. She’s proven that female artists can create things in the music industry. After she dropped Midnights I started listening to the album and I fell in love with the creative process and visuals in the songs and music videos. She isn’t only the women of the decade she IS the music industry and won’t be stopped for creating and producing music that us Swifties will continue to support her!!!
I thought that she was adored and record breaking in the US. Only for the feud and jealousy of K. West. I never thought she was hated. In Europe, she's not that well known to be honest. We know her as the Americana girl, very successful but not in our music field cause of country.
I agree Taylor has got a lot of unwarranted hate .. which is ridiculous, she is a musician - not a politician! I am a huge fan - but this notion that she "proved that female artists can create things in the music industry" is honestly total nonsense. Believe it or not Taylor was not the first successful female artists. Not by a long shot. There have been THOUSANDS of super successful female musicians going back decades. Tina Turner. Madonna. Alanis Morrisette. Celine Dion. J-Lo. Beyonce. Rihanna. The list is HUGE. I am not convinced that females get any more crap from record companies and execs etc. than many male artists. Most of the things that Taylor is talking about applies to male artists and bands (remember that the majority of acts are not solo - so could be a mix of male and female.) and I have heard the same complaints from male artists. Prince literally called himself a "slave" .. which was a bit pretentious and embarrassing, but super successful artists moaning about the industry that gave them their success is nothing new.
@@zx7-rr486I don't think you understand how big of a thing watching your hard earned music get stolen feels like. None of the artists own their music but they never speak about it because they like to be adored by the companies or maybe they aren't talented enough. But Believe me it's 2023 and Taylor Swift is still getting criticised for her nusic & people are still undermining her talent because she's white. She has spoken about voting, equal wages to artists, lgtq and everything that needed to addressed not because of a 'trend' but because she considers it her duty to be on the right side of the history and to influence people in the right way.
but if still you consider that she isn't 'woman of the decade ' you are just biased.
Ps: She didn't say all male artists are living happily or something. we're here talking about female representation & how women are ridiculed for anything they do
@@ananyabaldotra I don't think you understand how the music industry works at all. Nearly all artists own the rights to their songs. It's the RECORDINGS they generally don't own because, believe it or not, the record company fronts large amounts of money to pay for the recording studio, the producers, the sound engineers, the mix engineer, the session musicians, the promotion, the production of physical media .. etc. etc. Because they pay for virtually everything up front, the record label insists on owning the rights to the RECORDINGS, not the songs (which are usually intellectual property of the song writer). So when you say "hard earned music", the record company would say, "yes, the hard earned music that WE paid for all the hard work to get done making it". That's how it works .... You see when Taylor makes these speeches, it doesn't explain the detailed realities, and of which you know nothing, clearly.
I hope she starts her own label someday and mentors the younger artists through their own success and careers all while she continues to contribute through her songwriting. I feel like she would be great at that.
it would be awesome.
@@husseinhussein466 wow chill dude.
I was just thinking about it while watching the video ...
@@husseinhussein466 if she can't dance or sing, then why bother watching this video??
Actually that was her plan ever since if she ever retire in the future! Mentor young talents specially young girls she's gonna be looking out for protogeee I know cos were that close me and tay solid never liquid and our friendship will never evaporate like gas 😁😁😁
Did the room not listen to her words properly. She’s saying all the right things and the audience are giving her nothing. That should be the best award she ever receives and replied with a powerful speech and the room isn’t getting it or supporting her enough
It's probably because this was an industry event filled with corporate types, execs, producers, maybe some artists - but no adoring fans. Un-televised events like this are more solemn than Sunday service.
Taylor moves would destryo their greed thats why
As a lifelong session player and having toured with many great artist I can condense this all down to one word: PATRIARCHY! End of story. You can be sure that there were many women and some men in that audience that were screaming, “YES!” inside, but are still too afraid to show it in a public arena. I hope that we can FINALLY start treating women who are also artists/musicians with the respect and dignity they all SHOULD NOT HAVE TO FIGHT FOR 👊🏻❤️👊🏻
I mean, in a really formal event, you don't clap your hands or give the one on stage any distraction, they don't make noise before the one on stage finished. They will give reactions after the one presenting/the one giving a speech is done.
Why did I feel the same too? She is the best! Her words are 💯😭😭you should appreciate each n every word she says... Coz it's GOLD!❤️
Taylor literally predict the future lol
In 2020 Billie won Album of the Year and she gets so much hate from social media and people always said that Finneas is the reason of her success and she still gets so much hate now
Taylor has always been far smarter, savvier, and tougher than she gets credit for. She's also a class act who uses her power and fame and money for good in the world. Some of her music I really like, some I don't so much, but I love her and I cheer whenever I see she's broken a new record with tour attendance numbers or weeks on the charts (that week when all top 10 songs were hers - wow). This speech is fire. Even when she knows she'll face criticism or worse - invalidation - she fights back.
She is incredibly intelligent and so well aware. I stan the right artist.
by intelligent you mean a puppet for the music industry, then yes
Nick M No I meant what I said.
@@adi._. are you sure you didn't mean puppet?
shes a nightmare in real life
Ninef Sargis no, im fairly sure he meant intelligent and aware. And I also would say that. Leave hater
If taylor stays silent people says she's a coward and now that she's addressing all the important issues and how she's been treated people says she's dramatic.
She's always been outspoken.
You need to Calm Down 😂😉
And they say she’s being the victim. Well she IS the victim here. Her music was taken away from her when SHE is the one who busted her ass for it
👏👏👏
“Wronged”*
I love what she said about Reputation. “Oh im being cast as a villian to you? Heres an album called reputation there are snakes EVERYWHERE”
The way she dropped the album and finally gave the people who wanted her to change the finger and fed into the title to show people how little she cared will never not be iconic
Her work , her dedication , her sacrifices , her songs , HER SUCCESS. Period
And obv the people who worked with her and who stood by her side, like her parents, selena, jack, Joe,etc
I am done with critical people we need equality Taylor Swift you are a queen preach it attention music industry we need her stop criticizing if you want justice for Taylor Swift and other future artist say “I”
I love how Taylor is so chill and casual with her speech. She just laughs at her mess ups and ignores the awkward moments. This is the kind of celebrity we need now.
Major mood

Shes been around for like 15 years, and has never once utilized her platform to make cultural or political statements - the thing that makes art and longevity, art and longevity. Believing she'll therefore be relevent 200 years from now on the sole basis of love songs, when she has NEVER once challenged or changed the status quo, is a truly ignorant statement. Shes a young attractive white girl who has mediocre vocals, and appeals predominantly to girls under the age of 30. Nothing about her CURRENTLY resonates with long term relevance. Might wanna look into the history of other female renowned international pop stars, and see how relevent they remain after just 30 years in the industry....let alone 200 years. You're clearly blinded by irrational obsession.
Two years and still such a powerful speech🥺❤️👏👏

I can't believe the audience didn't get the reference "I will never ever forget it ....*like ever*".....duhh
ikr........
And when she said "Happy free confused and sometimes lonely" nobody got the 22 reference
I automatically smiled at those references..I think some of them got it..but i don't think they will dance in a towel with a toilet paper crown on head and shout"i got it Taylor.wooohooo"...
😂
when did she say that?
folklore is the new era. Another start of remarkable decade for Taylor Swift.
Exactly! Taylor Swift is unstoppable.
Best.
It didn't even last six months she dropped evermore. Not complaining tho
Sis coming to snatch woman and artist of the decade again.
@@voxtur__7 yup😌✌🏼
This is why she’s my favorite artist. She makes good music, and she’s a good person.
I was a Taylor Swift fan back in her country music days and I was always hoping for her success. I was one of those who was saddened when she went completely pop, but who knew that was only the beginning of her struggle behind the scenes as she grew.
It's wonderful to see how much she has achieved and it's amazing that she is speaking out about such important things about her industry experience. This speech was so special and it needed to be said. Well done Taylor 👏
"Why are woman doing so well this decade?"...
She is very much right. Taylor swift, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande broke multiple records in the last decade and are some of the biggest artist in the world. Taylor have sold the most tickets and made the most money out of her reputation tour. Katy Perry have 6 billboard number 1 songs. Ariana debuted 3 number 1 songs. Lady Gaga have the fastest sold album on apple music and released the most awarded song in music history.
1989 is most awarded Pop album ever
Women are finally having the recognition they deserve, and I’m so happy for it
Most of the guys in pop are literally so fucking boring
@Raven • that's really upsetting. I hate how females are expected to serve vocals, looks, choreo and songwriting or they get hated on for lacking one of these things. Meanwhile a guy can just stand and sing and make subpar music and he'll be successful as hell, especially if he's hot.
@Raven • true
Can we take a moment and appreciate Jameela Jamil for standing next to Taylor and held her award for about 15 minutes long. 👏🏻
HAHAAHHA what I was thinking!
The ultimate bestie we all need.
Haha yes but to be fair, I think anyone would stand next to queen Tay...for an entire day 😂
Nah Jameela still lame
She is so supportive
I love how much she namechecks her songs and albums in the speech and how she talked a lot about the music and not just her experience with fame, which I think shows that she really is an artist who's about the music and not just a celebrity who's all about fame!
TAYLOR SWIFT is FEARLESS because she taught us to SPEAK NOW even when she feels RED, born in 1989 and has a big REPUTATION, happy to have her LOVER that believes in FOLKLORE and swifties that stays with her for EVERMORE✨
and even on MIDNIGHTS

Gow the fuck is billie relish the woman of the year ever? A fuckin teenager?
Wow, i didnt realise how much she proved people wrong every time she was criticised. People still use the same insults like, she dates a lot, even though shes been with the same guy for 3 years. I LOVE that she's embraced the fact that she can't please everyone and not everyone will be fair with her. So she's just going to keep being a boss, breaking all the records, making the most money and doing her thing! Congrats to her for ALL her insane accomplishments in the last decade.
Regardless of your opinion, you cant deny the facts. She's has topped and changed the music industry, being at the top of her game for a WHOLE decade. That is impressive!
I dont agree with the fact that ppl dont critize man. Ppl critize everybody.
@@emilywandosen8472 no one said men aren't criticized but women are criticized more just because of their sex
@@emilywandosen8472 no one said that men are not critized, they are but Woman are critized more 💀
@@theialx and it is not only because of man. Woman empowerment is so weak. Some women like to drag the other one down.
no she’s been with the same guy for 3 years amazing! Now give her the woman of the decade award 😂
Taylor Swift is such a beautiful soul. She really has changed a lot in the industry that people don't even know about. That I'm just finding out about now. I just love how she is herself and she Embraces her flaws. I've seen videos of her during her concerts when something didn't go right or she didn't sing the song the right way and she'll stop and tell everyone her mistake and she'll do it over again instead of just pretending like it didn't happen. She laughed that herself which we all should do because none of us are perfect. I just think that she's just a incredible woman. No I'm not a Swifty like a bazillion people are. I do enjoy her music but I do appreciate how real she is and she doesn't take her fame or her money to her head and think that she's better than anyone else. She Embraces her flaws like I said and a lot of people with the type of Fame that she has will try and look perfect. So Taylor Swift you totally deserve this award you are a Class Act a beautiful woman and you have such a beautiful heart. I know you're on your concert for right now and I heard that in every city that you play in you give so much money to the agencies in the city to stock up the food bank for at least a year. And I heard that the bonuses that you give your employees that are touring with you are humongous. There really needs to be more people like you in this world. You have so much money and so much Fame yet you use that to help stock up food banks in the cities that you have your concert in and that just is so heartfelt. I just don't understand how people like Kanye West and Kim Kardashian and all these other haters have come at you with negativity when they cannot even compete to be the type of person that you are. So ignore the haters and continue to be a beautiful, kind-hearted and generous person that you are. Congratulations
I have always appreciated her music but I have never truly realized her strength, eloquence, grace, and intelligence before this past year. Taylor Swift is a true inspiration to all who will give her the time of day.
This speech was beyond necessarily in formulating the message that women have always been and continue to be refused the chance that men have in the music industry. Music is art. And people only criticize art because they cannot understand it. They won’t. This is such a beautiful display of women uplifting women regardless of the way our patriarchal society measures women against each other on the basis of beauty, talent, status, and wealth.
For too long women have been told that their worth can be and is only measured by their beauty and politeness which is code for “humbly accepting and allowing the continuation of the stereotype that men deserve success and women must prove themselves worthy of it.”
Throughout her years as a public figure, she has experienced criticism, shame, unprovoked slander, and outright bullying, and has become the thing impotent men have feared the most. An icon. She has powered through the abuse and has risen from the ashes of pure hate as a phoenix. She is the woman of the decade. And yet, she still manages to recognize the achievements of her “competitors.”
Taylor has always been an inspiration since the age of 16 and has never lost her humility, intelligence, grace, or eloquence. Us women are more than our status and beauty. She has proven that time and time again. Hopefully now people will listen.
“Of course he likes you. If you’re in this room, you have something he needs.”
Truth has been spoken.
Not what she said but yeah
5,000 Subscribers without any video challenge Now this is why I love Taylor the mostest -speaks the truth with heart intelligence..GO TAYLOR GOOOOOOOOO❣️
👏 👏 also I feel like this is a comeback to Demi Lovato. I may be wrong, but wasn’t she the one who said that Scooter has always been nice to her?
Saadia Sajjad yes I had a feeling it had to do with her
Oh demi, why are you crying?
Lol
If you came here to complain about why she's the WOTD and not your fave, you've missed the entire point of what she said and what this event is about.
neil lencio or they missed the entire decade
?
@@channelk9355 lmaooo true
@@channelk9355 WEEEEEEEEE-
I knew her in 2017 and I started listening to her discography. My fav is speak now
Will there be a MOTD?
I've watched this so many times, Taylor brings me to tears when she speaks because she is such a genuine human and even after everything is so so kind.

I love this lol
You realise that no matter how many concerts she does and the fact that the world knows her, in this speech she's human, down to earth and even a little nervous to share what she has in her heart and yet maintains grace and dignity while talking. She's just like all of us and that's what makes her special ❤❤❤
loved this woman since her debut album and i’m SO proud of everything she has done and accomplished. she will be owning 4 out of her six stolen albums come October and i couldn’t be more happier and proud of her for fighting for her art.
She held the mic and said "This is going so well so far"
The VMA incident 😂
Hahahaha
One of the many reasons why this speech is priceless!
What happened in the VMA :o
@@ovilbabe I think he's referring to the incident with Kanye West. Taylor had accepted a VMA for best video of the year and Kanye jumped on stage and basically was like "This award should've went to Beyonce". You can see the video on YT I think.
Quiet toxic white privileged male.
My friend is a sound engineer for this event, when someone was speaking they didn’t play the role audio, only the audio from the mic was picked up. That’s why when she pauses you can’t hear anything, the entire crowd has to react in order to hear it. So the audience wasn’t being disrespectful, they were listening. Also, Taylor usually gives speeches at award shows where she has tons of fans who laugh and clap nearly every sentence, this is why she is pausing, she’s used to it. It’s not because she is thinking everyone should clap or expecting it, it’s just habit.
This comment should be higher up
Pahaha as if, she thought what she was saying was hot shit
This cmt should be pinned at the top
Analytical people are the best people. Simply logic and facts.
we heard a clap..lmao
I love how thankful she is to everyone and is very positive about what the future holds with the new artists. ❤️
I can understand some people not liking her music, just like how some people don’t like rap or metal.
I will never understand how anyone can dislike Taylor Swift as a person. I mean, seriously. You never hear anything bad about her, ever. Whenever you read or hear stories from people who have met her, there’s nothing but great stories of how nice she is.
She is very authentic, she doesn’t put on an act, and you can tell. Even before I was a swiftie, years and years ago, I see her interviews and she seemed very real, very nice and humble.
I’ll always love Taylor.
TAYLOR SWIFT TALKING ABOUT LANA DEL REY IS EVERYTHING
The Unsaid Things Said right???
Ikr!!
I was kinda wanting her to mention Melanie Martinez too lmao but she said "And so many more" so i'm content
@* Jasmine * ah melanie yes
@@sharmilabishnoi5892 Cause Melanie, Lana and Halsey are all kinda similar.. Also yes Melanie lol she is currently my lifeline
Everyone’s dying over the “like, ever” reference, but what about that BIG quote from 22 at the end?!
Hahaha yes. And GOLDEN. :)
Yes! ♡
Happy, free, confused and lonely at the same time, magical and *golden* !
I think it’s ‘We are never ever getting back to get her’.
" thank you for a magnificent, happy, free, confused and sometimes lonely but mostly golden decade "
Amazing artist, speaker, philosopher, role model. So proud to witness her musical and personal evolution.
I love this speech and I came back quite often...
Now I realized when she said like ever, like in WANGBT, RED TV is out and OMG I love how she always put something there for us
Her speech really said
“I’d be the man”
WHY DOES THIS HAVE NO COMMENTS?!?!
@@nibharokiran same question here
No, this speech said "I'd be the woman" she doesn't need to be a man to impress everyone.
@@gehnakoul9837 periodt.
@@gehnakoul9837 THANK YOU.
I really appreciate taylor including Lana Del Rey in her speech. It is really understated how she really is so influential in music, and paved the way and inspired so many amazing and talented artists
she really is*
She still is.
I do think Lana's NFR album inspired Taylor to make Folklore and Evermore. Also Phoebe Bridgers' first album
and now they're collabing!
they’re collating now omg
This was her best speech, advice, ever! I’m a huge fan and I just found out my niece is too. I’m glad she has someone like Taylor, that inspires her. I love everything she stands for, especially women’s empowerment. She is an inspiration. I’ve probably watched this 20 times or more
taylor is such an amazing artist vocally , lyrically and literally just everything she stands for is just something i have to agree with
"magnificent, happy, free, confused, sometimes lonely but mostly golden decade"
Taylor always introduces herself. She never presumes someone just knows who she is. When you meet someone knew you introduce yourself.. because that's what normal human beings do. And she's just a normal human being. It grounds her and shows how humble she is.
@MaybeNextTime 🤣👍
MaybeNextTime - funny..
She literally introduces herself just to hear everyone applaud. I hate to say that but it's so obvious. She's so used to saying, "Hey I'm Taylor!" just for the reaction.
@@kjakd9247 exactly... her young fans are so gullible haha
@@Sleeper250 Okay!
Here after she’s reclaimed Fearless, Red, Speak Now and 1989 (TV) 🥳🙌 WOOHOOO !!
This is a phenomenal speech that covers her career, criticism, women in music, how music changes, ect. While maintaining positivity. The ICONIC Taylor Swift has done it again.
