It’s the way that the music industry didn’t really function in eras until Taylor came along save for Madonna, the fact that people didn’t take Jack Antonoff seriously as a producer until they started working together and now he works with everyone, how the inclusion of a song on her playlist or a Twitter shoutout/TikTok sound makes labels promoters and audiences sit up and take notice + pays the artist’s bills, and that streaming services now have to pay musicians and writers more equitably because of noise she made. It’s the fact that so many current country girlies are able to create pop-leaning tunes without pushback not to mention the freedom female artists in particular now have to write about their lives because she absorbed a ton of the sexist and misogynistic criticism not to mention that she is often artist’s first call when they face bad press for the first time. It’s the way so many young artists are now negotiating for their masters right out of the gate, how more musicians are working with Aaron Dessner and recording music at long pond and how a 10 minute #1 flies in the face of A&R executives saying audiences have no attention span anymore or that storytelling matters less. Basically, Barbara Walters was right all those years ago;Taylor Swift is the music industry
