aylor Swift "Red": Talent and Gossip after becoming famous

Just some time ago, Justin Bieber was revealed to have cheated on him, and the gossip foreign media wanted to let his fans know by voting. They chose the next person he should date, and Taylor Swift’s name appeared among these options; almost at the same time, the first hit of Taylor Swift’s new album “Red”, “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together”, was released, and people were talking about it again As for who inspired the creation of Taylor Swift (Taylor Swift’s Chinese nickname) this time, of course, the options for this discussion are even more surprising. A long list of male stars who have been or are currently involved in scandals with Taylor Swift has surfaced. Out of the water, no one can tell which one is true and which one is false. In any case, the phrase "we are never ever getting back together" that Taylor sings over and over again has a magical sound.

"Red" is Taylor Swift's fourth album after her official debut. From her debut to the present, she and the entire music world have been experiencing rapid changes in quality and quantity. These changes are huge. The onlookers mistakenly thought that Taylor had spent a long time with them, but in fact, Taylor was just a 22-year-old girl with the biggest and youngest female singer in the music industry on her head. Looking back at Taylor Swift's debut trajectory, she became a blockbuster at the age of 16, not because of her wavy golden hair, long legs and sexy red lips, but her solid country songwriting ability and amazing business vision - after the release of When her first album of the same name was released, Taylor Swift established her own record production company, Big Machine, and after so many years, she still maintains her own "independent" music production model, focusing on herself and absorbing rich music. The country music material that is more in line with the public's aesthetics, the stable frequency of releases and the quality of songs have made her personal music career rise steadily, although many country music lovers simply do not buy her account and regard her as younger and infantilized. The music is regarded as the dregs of country music, but there is no doubt that Taylor Swift has spread more modern and approachable country pop to the world, and when the stories behind her music become gossips News, when she personally uses social app terminals such as twitter and instagram to get closer to her fans, and when her clothes become more and more popular among people, the name Taylor Swift represents more than the music itself, she is everything The guy that boys dream of dating, the one that all the girls are jealous of imitating!

Taylor Swift is at the forefront.

In fact, she has always been at the forefront.

If the earlier controversy about her was based on whether her music could be classified as traditional country music, the controversy triggered by her now is no longer within the category of music. Taylor Swift has swept all major music awards since her debut. These awards have unhesitatingly characterized her music as country music. This has somewhat quelled the earlier "music genre ownership" controversy. Moreover, in country music, it is often regarded as an old age. In this era of music, Taylor's appearance timely brought this "old" music form into the lives of teenagers, allowing the sound of the banjo to resound in youthful parties, making more Many young people have heard the simplicity of this music form; Taylor's own creations are actually not divorced from the realism and sincerity of country music - what she writes is indeed what happened in her own life, and is a reference for all American teenagers. They are all experiencing changes in their inner and outer worlds, and it is this realistic approach that is too close to life that makes gossip about her so popular. Like Adele, they both use their own emotional stories as a blueprint to create extremely easy-to-understand stories. The only difference between the works sung is that Taylor’s songs have more lively, healthy and joking elements, just like in this era, European and American teenagers use smartphones to tweet and go to Facebook anytime and anywhere, no matter how painful it is The emotions will quickly disappear in such calmness and ease. Among two female singers of the same age, Taylor's music is obviously closer to the hearts of young people and more positive.

However, Taylor Swift, who is famous all over the world, is now facing exactly this dilemma of gossip and talent biting each other.

In "Red", we can hear that Taylor's skills in creating country pop music have reached the point of mastery and proficiency. In addition to "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together", "Red", and "22", which are catchy and In addition to the title song, which will definitely occupy the top 10 of the charts, "State of Grace", "I Almost Do", and "Starlight" are also definitely deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in terms of tunes. In fact, the most valuable thing is that Taylor Swift has been conveying the pan-country The pop concept has almost reached its extreme in the album "Red": the rapid drumming in the opening "State Of Grace" is an arrangement method that focuses on rock music, but the lyrics and the meaning of the song convey the solemnity and elegance of non-rock music. It’s like classical music has been sidelined; of course, Taylor also tried a large section of string arrangements in "The Last Time". In this song, which was a collaboration with Gary Lightbody, the lead singer of the British rock band Snow Patrol, this "marriage" "The method can also be regarded as an ingestion of British lyrical rock; if you want to ask where the banjo Taylor has been using is, the beginning of the album's title track "Red" and the main body of "Treacherous" are both banjos. This is the best display of the must-have instrument in country music, but "Red" is not just a display of banjo country music. The continuously superimposed electronic sound effects at the climax repeatedly embody the word red, and this word is no longer just a description. Taylor Swift's lip color on the cover of the album depicts her current situation in the music industry; but in fact, "Red" is not Taylor's only single in this album that involves electronic sound effects, "I Knew You" "Were Trouble" also brought us an absolute surprise at the climax. This piece of work gradually changed from dubstep electronic music style to country pop music style, liberating country music from being conservative and outdated. Taylor Swift transformed country music into a new style. Multiple possibilities are masterfully displayed in her fourth solo album "Red".

How many people can hear and understand the above? Just like nowadays, people rarely use the titles of singer, songwriter and creator to describe Taylor Swift. The gossip halo after she became famous has completely blocked her creative talent. Nowadays, those pop singers who are becoming more and more popular/ Bands such as Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, Lana Del Rey, Maroon 5, Bruno Mars, Ke$ha...how many people in the world pay attention to their individual creative talents? What you don’t even know is that these people are all involved in the creation of their musical works. These celebrities also face the embarrassment of becoming famous. What people remember is not their creative talents, but their eye-catching costumes and inexplicable true and false scandals. Lady Gaga, the world's most popular dance music geek, prefers to sing her "Poker Face" in a jazz and blues style behind the piano. Justin Bieber, the world's most popular boy star, also prefers to be accompanied by only an acoustic guitar, because these are more A way to showcase their singing and songwriting talents that is closer to their hearts.
