Taylor was making tons of money and selling tons of records before that, but there's no question it helped increase her popularity to the masses. I think he sped up the process but her becoming a household name was inevitable. That's why she won the damn award to begin with :myman:

:childplease: Y'all trying too hard

Just because hip hop fans never heard of her before the incident doesn't mean she wasn't big.

I'm sure there are plenty of rock and country music fans who don't know who Nas is.

People kill me with the whole "KanYe made her". She sold more LP's than KanYe did after only 2 albums. What the Drama did do was increase the people already supporting to support her even more. Also just cause minorities and blacks didn't really know who she was, doesn't mean she wasn't known. Country music still sells millions of albums. The internet affected Hip Hop, RnB and Pop Sales but did not affect country artist. Country artist still be going multi-plat easy. If Ye is smart he will eventually do a track with her. Also as funny as what KanYe did it was wack he did it. So what if Beyonce video was better, Beyonce has how many damn awards? This was that chick's 1st award. The whole thing made Ye look bad and sadly White America latched on to it. I got love for Ye for life but he has done some lame sh!t in his career that I can't give a pass for, this was one of them.

I will say that the Kanye incident helped to blow her up to the general public that wasn't into country/pop singers.

Country people knew who she was, they were also the ones buying her cds.
CAC's out in Arizona, Nashville, those corny girls in the back of the class that you would wonder what the fukk could this person possibly be listening to type of people.

He did make her a star to people who wouldn't normally fukk with her music, so basically he did nothing for her besides adding more paparazzi.


If you didn't listen to her music or that type of music, chances are high that it was the first time you heard about her. Specially world wide, she could probably walk around in the streets in Europe and not get recognized.

Even though she moved records (in the states) like Adele and more than Gaga and Beyonce, she wasn't close to their level of fame.
Just like a lot of these other country artists, I'm sure not a single person on here knows how those Lady Antebellum people looks and they go multi every time.

Yeah, he made her known to black people, of which maybe 5% would own a Taylor Swift album, and of that 5%, 4% bootlegged it. Gee, thanks Kanye. :comeon:
