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

[Don Snow]

Taylor swift type garbage and I fukk with some white people music


Specifically 2000s era white songs idk what sub genre they fall under but I got a whole playlist

The white people in the 80s was cooking some fire too idk what happened to them in the 90s though

 

[Michael's Black Son]

She don’t hang with Pharrell and her music is like plain white bread seasoned with water.

Even her being around Beyoncé feels forced

 

[Coco Loco]

Sums it up. As big as her career is, she really only caters to one demographic - the basic, self-absorbed white girl with first world problems. "Omg I'm literally shaking right now because Starbucks messed up my order and now my day is ruined, I can't even" in musical form.

Spot on!!!

 

[Grifter]

Country music and not trying to be sexual and or "urban" like those listed.

 

[Vandelay]

She makes unabashed white people music.

Other artists at least flirt with urban sounds and aesthetic.

 

[NoMorePie]

She makes songs that appeal to country ass white girls

And she has no ass

 

[Cladyclad]

It’s the way the biz is now. If mtv didn’t play Britney and them after a rap song I wouldn’t know their work. MTV don’t exsist in that form so people not exposed to other genres anymore

 

[NaijaProdigy Redux]

lol if you have listened to any of her music you would know why

 

[scorpino]

She collaborated with ice spice though so I’m sure she’d like to have more black fans as well

 

[Slow Moving]

Honestly at some point it was hard to differentiate between pop and hiphop in the 2000s.

 

[TheMailMan]

She had Kendrick on bad blood

 

[DaRock]

I'm really not sure what's the point of this.
She knows who she is, knows her audience and stays in her lane.
Crazy part if she was trying to crossover/"be a culture vulture" y'all would have a problem with that too.

 

[Guile]

The Kanye link … when he was beloved … it might have (subconsciously) affected her appeal …

Ye got her out of here.

She should of let him produce an album.

This is interesting because even Paramore had a decent following in the Black community and they don't make "urban music". Yet you'll be hard pressed to see Black folks from all socioeconomic and national status that fukk with Taylor outside of a handful of songs . The only full Taylor albums I've listened to were 1989 and Midnights and other than that I draw a blank face to the rest of her music.

Paramore actually made good music and had a talented band backing the singer up. Plus the lead singer did decent crossover songs with rappers.

Taylor Swift makes extremely generic music and isn't really talented or attractive. It's super corny pop music with no soul. She's extremely mediocre

Adele can sing. Pink did her thang. Sam Smith was cool before the demonic shyt. Not a big Justin Timberlake fan but he had some Pharrell and Timbaland collabs. Color Me Badd had some bangers and the fat white dude could sing his ass off. If a white singer has talent and doesn't do country music then we at least give it a chance

Did Madonna or Britney or Lady Gaga get urban radio play?

Yes Madonna, they decided not to put her face on her first 2 singles. Because they want us to know she was White.
