Well guys, new Taylor Swift album, being released on October 3rd. She's already dropped a ton of different vinyl/CD album cover variants to get the Swifties preordering anything and everything on her online store.

Who's excited?
 
One of these surfaces every decade or so.

They become insanely popular, ride their wave, and then recede into obscurity.

For an example we'll have this gentleman stand up and wave to the people:
I think he's thick into drugs now. He finally snapped under all of that fame and pressure.

 
I think Taylor Swift has proven that she has more staying power than most. Justin Bieber and Brittney Spears are not good comparisons.
 
They are.



We are indeed!

Biebs still has a pretty big following. He actually has more Twitter followers than Taylor Swift, for example. He still releases albums/singles regularly. It's not as nuts as it was fifteen years ago, but you can look at his Spotify streaming numbers and know he's still pretty dang popular.

And just in case somebody has a short memory... or was too young to remember when this one happened TWENTY FIVE YEARS AGO... we'll post this:




Everybody got over her as well.


I'd say a key difference between the two would be sex appeal. From the beginning, Britney was all about sex appeal. There's no way that formula can last. Taylor Swift had been far away from that up until these last 2-3 albums. Now she's definitely leaned into it a ton though, as one can clearly see with the cover of this newest album.

If it wasn't the publicity she managed to generate with the football player, I think she may have already peaked.

It's hard to believe she could be any bigger than she was last year. I'd say she has peaked, and it's a downward trajectory from here. Especially since she's getting married. I would assume she intends to settle down.
