QuoteNilsHolgersson But if I remember correctly, Michael Jackson didn't release albums that often, but when he did they were instant big hits. And it wasn't just the music that made him popular, but also the overall mystique surrounding him. All kinds of strange stories that turned his life into one big circus and he had his own amusement park and zoo and so on. He met world leaders and

In the 1980s/90s, Madonna and Michael Jackson were hyped as the Queen & King of Pop .... but how much of this hype will be left after 50 years? Curious on this one so just looked it up. MJ had 6.5bn streams on Spotify in 2023

And for those stating who knows if she'll be around in 50 years, she's already been around for 18. I don't see her going anywhere anytime soon. Only way that happens is when she decides to marry and settle down - then things will slow down for her. And to those stating that she's just enjoying her moment, again, her debut single was a big success. Taylor hit the ground

Now 4 different versions of her new album released. She's releasing a new one every week it seems. At this rate, there will be an entire album worth of bonus tracks by the time the thing comes out. So essentially she would have recorded two albums, if that's the case!!!

Quotekovach Quoteshadooby The Marc Ford era was the best. Much like the Taylor era for the Stones. Glad I got to see them in 90 and 96. Most excellent shows.

Yes I knew about Braun and Taylor's disdain for him, as well as the sale of the catalog to the equity group. It was a bold move for sure, and it has worked for her I'm sure in large part because of the massive fan base that she has accumulated.

That’s a great final point about her sounding the same. Maybe that’s why she has t redone her debut album yet because there she does sound younger. Was wondering about it and that might well be the reason.

QuoteKurt QuoteTate I need a song or two to really impress me. Does it exist? Yes. I will give you an ALBUM or two... Listen to Folklore and Evermore. Both releases are astounding. Needing to go back to Folklore, as I was initially disappointed with it and couldn't get all the accolades heaped at it. Evermore though IS friggin' brilliant. Easily one of my Top 50 by ANYONE.

I would agree she probably isn't writing songs of the caliber of A Day In The Life or Gimme Shelter, but she has got some amazing songs. And some of her lyrics are downright brilliant IMO.
