How come Taylor Swift doesn’t have the same mass appeal to the Black community that previous white singers had?

We don’t have MTV anymore so I can’t even tell you what pop songs are popular right now. And the radio is much less prominent now than when we were kids so we don’t have the same exposure.
I think it comes down to white people working with black producers like Justin Timberlake, Justin, Bieber, and Ed Sheeran.
She doesn’t usually have features or use black producers from what I see but she has a bunch of people know
Lover
Shake it off
Bad Blood

Actually, she has a lot of songs I know now that I think about it.

The same can be said for hip-hop lol
hip hop is not an offshoot of country music stop it

Shake it off had cross over appeal and Lavender Haze is my shyt but last female pop star that had cross over appeal i can remember was Katy Perry

Gaga had Telephone produced by Darkchild which featured Beyoncé.
She also had the controversial Do What U Want with R. Kelly and the demo of bytch, Don't Kill My Vibe with K. Dot which featured her.
I don't know if they received urban play but the first two songs were popular.

for me personally it's because I 100% don't get it
she's not attractive at all compared to the others
she's like McDonald's for singers
like you can tell she is 100% for basic white women and that's cool.
but the media won't shut the fukk up about her. like if you don't like her something's wrong with you
put me In the crazy house then
that tweet is case in point. Like who would ask basketball players this question?
Go ask hockey players what their favorite Beyonce song is
oh they won't because we have to worship Taylor Swift all year
and she has tried countless times to engage with the black market. it doesn't work. in fact we know it's not genuinie so a majority of us don't fukk with her because of it.
No one remembers her attempt at September. They don't want you to
her latest one is clinging onto ice spice for dear life
yes it's a symbiotic relationship but she knows what she's doing

Second you can't compare her with artists whose runs have ended compare her with her peers

Britney, Madonna, gaga, etc. All
Had club songs that could appeal to any demographic, including black people
Also leveraged sex appeal in rebellious that would also appeal to black people
Had no problem collaborating with black singers/producers. Some of them even praised some as being influences musically
And also, Paramore sang in the church when she was young so there's some soul in her voice when she sangs. Ain't it fun

Y'all see now why Aretha said what she said
"Nice gowns"
Also, Madonna and Britany were on MTV, which was a major focal point on pop culture in America.
Madonna helped MTV become what it was.
Young Madonna was a sexual icon too.
A lot of young girls idolized her in the 80s and 90s.
Taylor does not appeal to as wide of an audience. She definitely captures the white girl "Live, Laugh, Love" "Pumpkin Spice" crowd but that's it

It's easier to avoid music you don't like these days. I haven't listened to actual radio in like 15 years sans it playing in the background of somewhere I'm at.
