If you change the Grammy to "Best Selling Record," rather than "Best Record," you'll find:
Alabama Shakes: 306,000 sold
Kendrick Lamar: 788,000
Chris Stapleton: 830,000
The Weeknd: 930,000
Taylor Swift: 5.7 million (!!!)
I both hate and find her really intriguing because she has taken this vanilla/non-partisan persona and made. so. much. money. She may actually have her own strong views but I have no idea what they are. I don't know, whenever I do editorials (for art but never dollars) or work for a big brand (for prestige and a couple dollars), it makes me think about people like Taylor Swift who've done the opposite. Deep thoughts, guys, deep thoughts.
Compared to the other artists she's very non-genre (?). Kendrick = rap/hip hop, The Weeknd = R/B, and so on. . . they're more polarizing and specific and I guess that gives them a more discrete/defined fan-base whereas Taylor Swift is everybody and no body?
Ew is that recent? Maybe it's not a very flattering angle. No doubt that, compared to many celebrities, she is one of the thinner ones but if she does in fact have a stylist that person might want to re-think their career choice in life ...View attachment 11062 I expected her to look a lot better than this in a swimsuit. Especially whilst sucking in/stretching.

I had her on twitter/instagram for a while but I find her personality to be so excessive at times. Even on TV when it showed her dancing at the Grammy's or MTV awards (can't remember which it was) I almost feel like she tries too hard. Maybe it's just me.
Who are all these people buying her album?!?!
Apart from teeny-boppers ...I think it's hilarious to think some of those listeners may be middle-aged men jamming to her music in their car. Like...What?!!?
Probably photoshop, all the pictures are staged.Oh dear, that went down hill very fast. What happened? Relationship weight?
It's Taylor, everything she does is carefully planned by her publicist
Another swimsuit shot. I'm not a Taylor Swift fan, but I also thought she was "slimmer than average celebrity" ... and then these recent vacation bikini pics popped up. Did her torso always look like this and she successfully hid it with her style choices, or has she pursued the Kookie Diet a la Karlie Kloss? Or do you really think she would photoshop her instagram pictures? (Why not just NOT post bikini pics, if you really feel like you'd have to photoshop them to be acceptable...)
