This is a song I just wrote yesterday. This song is about a different girl, and I really like this song because it’s simply fun…”

That was one of the first films to capture the image of Taylor Swift with the first song she composed when she was just 13 years old.

Taylor Swift in the present is a different story: A young music billionaire, one of the symbols of the American music industry as well as around the world. After all those big differences, fans still found something in common with Taylor Swift when the female singer posted a photo of performing on a simple small stage by the river in the early years of her career. A simple, normal start like anyone in the early days of their career.

“If Taylor Swift can go from a small stage with a few dozen spectators to a 70,000-seat stadium, why don’t we dare to dream of a little success in our lives, no matter how small?” someone thinks so.

Taylor Swift once performed in a parking lot in Detroit, USA. That individual performance helped soon bring “Tim McGraw” – the first lead single from the album “Taylor Swift” released in 2006, to the audience. In her speech at New York University, USA as an Honorary Doctor, Taylor Swift once shared:

“When I look back at the moments of being rejected, not being chosen, not winning, not doing anything right… I realize those were important moments, if not more important than the times I achieved something.

 

Not being invited to a party at a friend’s house made me feel lonely, but for those lonely nights, I would sit in my room and write songs that would give me a chance to go somewhere. Being turned down by managers at a record label in Nashville and told that only 35-year-old housewives listen to country music and there’s no room for a 13-year-old made me cry on the car ride home. Then, I uploaded my music to Myspace, connecting with teenagers my age who also liked to listen to country music but had no one at my age to sing for them. Having to read the commentary and opinions of reporters, often critical, makes me wonder if I am living in some strange simulation world; but then it also helps me look inside myself to see who I really am. And while the world treated my love life like a curious sport in which I lost every game, it made me realize that dating in my teens and 20s wasn’t easy, but it also taught me how to Protect your privacy more. Being ostracized on the Internet and almost losing my entire career gave me great knowledge about all types of wine.”

The audience loves Taylor Swift because they know that the path Taylor Swift takes is not a path paved with roses. Those are the things that make Taylor Swift look like a normal “person” – not a product of the entertainment world, which is full of distance and isolation. Even though Taylor Swift’s music changes from Country to Pop, Alternative or any other genre, Taylor Swift is still an American country music princess with a guitar in her hand and wavy blonde hair, millions of people love it.

The birth of her debut album “Taylor Swift” marked the young girl’s mark in the world music industry. Tim McGraw was the opening single, released in June 2006 and quickly climbed to number 40 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and number 6 on the Hot Country Songs chart.

The rest is the history of turning a new page in the American music industry.

“Which era you are?”, a little girl stood right behind me while waiting in line to enter Gilette Stadium. She’s probably about… half my age. It’s a question for Taylor Swift fans to see which Taylor Swift album you radiate with (or simply love) the most. Fans consider each album an “era” of Taylor Swift.

“Ah…uhm… Evermore” – I choose Evermore, a fairly new album by Taylor Swift. Dark, sad, like a glimpse of American autumn with emotional love stories.

The girl smiled then turned back to her friends, softly singing a part from Champaign Problems, “You booked the night train for a reason. So you could sit there in this hurt…”

“I booked a late-night train ticket so I could sit alone and sob in pain…”

If you understood that question, congratulations on your first step into “Swiftiedom”.

Since “Taylor Swift” was born in 2006, every 2 years, Taylor Swift will release a new album. Nearly two decades of artistic activity, Taylor Swift has released 10 studio albums, 4 re-recorded albums, and 1 Christmas EP. Taylor Swift’s 10 albums have broken hundreds of records in the American music industry.

 

Each era of Taylor Swift leaves its own mark on the audience. The title “music industry” for Taylor Swift is a “reasonable” exaggeration when all of Taylor Swift’s albums have brought resounding success, breaking her own personal records. Taylor Swift often surpasses other artists. In the American entertainment industry, when female artists often struggle to rise in female-only charts, Taylor Swift is one of the few female artists who can create a counterweight to other artists. male. In 2022, Taylor Swift became the artist who won the most AMA (American Music Awards) awards in history, surpassing the King of Pop Michael Jackson.

 

I will have to wait a long time to be able to go to Gillette or any stadium anywhere in the world, to relive the magical moments of The Eras Tour. Three ticket stubs for the movie “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” in my hand could not help me regain the feeling of seeing Taylor Swift from afar, on stand 108 right across from the stage. But just by closing my eyes, giving myself a few seconds before the countdown timer on stage, I find myself back on The Eras Tour.

“Welcome to The Eras Tour”

Taylor Swift is a “nice girl” and as Taylor Swift once said, “a nice girl doesn’t impose her opinions on others. A nice girl smiles, waves and says thank you.” But a kind girl also knows how to use music to speak up and tell her story. Every young person looks at Taylor Swift’s life and career to realize that we don’t necessarily have to be famous, rich or successful like Taylor Swift, but we should have a passion and a purpose for life. Know what you’re working for. Taylor Swift is proof of self-help books that with effort and effort, plus a little luck, you will find success, at some point in your life. Or if you don’t succeed, you can still find a refuge during the uncertain days, like Taylor Swift found herself in music.

 

Taylor Swift teaches young people about hard work and effort, because most of us cannot find shortcuts to success.

Taylor Swift tells us that the world can be more equal when gaps are gradually narrowed. A female artist can absolutely achieve the same milestones as a male artist, minorities also need to be honored and worthy of their presence in society, and politics is not too far away. Music for Taylor Swift is also a protest when “Lover” brings messages about political struggles in America and “1989” marks a fight for rights for herself as well as artists with the Spotify platform. .

And Taylor Swift always whispers to young people, always love life, love yourself, love fame and ignore the evil things in the world. Failure or success, love or just broken, this life does not stop and always give yourself a chance, open your heart to receive new lessons.

“In life, there will be times when you say the wrong thing, believe the wrong person, overreact or be too humble, hurt the wrong person, be empty or think too much, hurt yourself, create a reality. In reality, only your experiences have meaning, destroying beautiful moments, denying mistakes, not daring to take steps to change, feeling guilty, letting regret eat away at you, hitting rock bottom. , then try to heal your wounds, try harder next time, and repeat. I won’t lie, those mistakes will cost you many things.

But losing many things does not mean losing everything. God takes away some things from you and then gives you other valuable things.”

 

From all over the world, fans follow Taylor Swift’s every activity, waiting for each of her new products to launch. Fans in Argentina camped out in front of the stadium days before Taylor Swift’s concert so they could get into the stadium early. In the Philippines, performances by dragqueen artists wearing Taylor Swift’s costumes and her famous songs also attract thousands of viewers, filling shopping malls. In Vietnam, movie screenings have become Taylor Swift fan outings, events to connect and make friends in “Swiftiedom”. There has been no precedent in the history of cinema in Vietnam – I boldly guess, that the audience ran down the stage together to dance and sing, to the point that the cinema had to put up ropes to remind them. gently”, afraid of damaging the projection screen. The whole auditorium sang in unison like a choir or hundreds of hearts were sent to Taylor Swift when Enchanted rang out.

“This night is sparkling, don’t you let it go

I’m wonderstruck, blushing all the way home

I’ll spend forever wondering if you knew

That this night is flawless, don’t you let it go…”

”

Taylor Swift’s success is a lesson for any young artist entering the entertainment world. Taylor Swift not only composes music and fans are just listeners, Taylor Swift is a storyteller who leads fans into “Swiftiedom” where the distance between idols and fans seems to be closer. . Listeners do not enter Taylor Swift’s music world with single songs, a couple of hits like other artists. Taylor Swift’s music world is like an open book, leading the audience through stories so that anyone can find familiarity there, as if it were their own life story. Choosing the theme of love for most of her albums throughout her career, Taylor Swift did not cram more generic, similar love stories into the realm of love as if there was nothing more that could be written. But love is never a barren land for artists to exploit. Taylor Swift pays attention to every detail, bringing colorful perspectives to a seemingly old topic, expressing love in many shades, forms, emotions, space and time. If you’ve just broken up, you’ll definitely find yourself in “Red (Taylor’s Version)”. When love is just budding with tender, innocent emotions, perhaps “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)” is the most suitable choice. Need a little sadness, a little poetry for your love story, “evermore” will not disappoint you. Taylor Swift’s music is like a mirror so that whether your love is just budding at the age of 15 or comes with maturity at the age of 40, you can still reflect on the young girl’s musical works.

 

Saying so does not mean that Taylor Swift’s works are just cheesy songs with simple melodies. In an interview in the Harvard Gazette, music experts from Berklee School of Music and Harvard University praised Taylor Swift.

“Taylor Swift is a talented composer, on both a macro and micro level. On a macro level, Taylor Swift can tell a story or convey a message through song. On a micro level , Taylor Swift is very skilled in the ability to combine vowels and consonants. Taylor Swift’s songs use a larger vocabulary than many other musicians, except people like Bob Dylan. and Taylor Swift’s words help turn the basic harmonies of pop music into catchy melodies. Many artists have better vocal abilities than Taylor Swift, but it’s impossible to have the songwriting talent of Taylor Swift. It’s a simple thing.”

An artist can become famous through tricks and beauty with a small number of successful songs. But from being famous to becoming a global music monument is a long distance that can only be filled with talent and effort. Taylor Swift possesses both of the above. If you doubt Taylor Swift’s efforts, remember that she was rejected many times when she was just a 13-year-old girl. It is difficult to find a female singer as hard-working as Taylor Swift. In the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, she still released two albums, prepared to re-record old albums as well as cherished plans for The Eras Tour – a in the top concerts with the leading scale in American music history. Taylor Swift’s talent is also something that no one can deny. At the age of 21, Taylor Swift brought home her first Grammy gold statue, and since then, Taylor Swift’s Grammy collection has reached 12 trophies. .

 

If someone says the trophy in the hearts of fans is the most important trophy, Taylor Swift has it all.

In an entertainment world that is ambiguous between notoriety and fame, where many stars are known to the public just because they are… famous, where the public sometimes cares more about the artists’ private lives than their abilities. Last name, Taylor Swift appeared as a “clearer” for the American entertainment industry. The public is fed up with disguised art, people who rise more through scandal than through real strength. It would be a bias to say Taylor Swift is the most active artist at the moment, but can we name any other names?

More than a decade since Taylor Swift ventured into music, the world hasn’t simply added one artist – she has changed the entire contemporary music scene, setting new standards in the industry. music career, inspiring many young artists later, breaking records globally. Leaving “empty-handed” when all her spiritual children were “stolen” by Scooter Braun Taylor Swift decided to “go all in” and re-record all of her old albums. The success of her re-recorded albums and Taylor Swift’s determination have caused many music companies to change their terms regarding re-recordings. The release of the film “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” has made the film industry nervous by changing the operating structures and traditional relationships between distribution units and production studios.

We don’t call Taylor Swift a phenomenon. There is no phenomenon that lasts 15-16 years in the hearts of fans. I wonder if I’m exaggerating if I consider Taylor Swift an American music icon – a pun on the word “phenomenon”? The title race for Taylor Swift will probably only take place in the fans’ stands. Phenomenon or symbol, I think Taylor Swift doesn’t care about that very much. Singing, performing, and composing music are probably the things that still sparkle with joy for Taylor Swift in a world where music billionaires have all started businesses, gradually leaving the spotlight.
