Swiftie analysis: Why do people love Taylor Swift?

UNITED STATES — Do you know the feeling when you first hear something, see something, or even eat something and you just know it is going to be good? That was Taylor Swift for a lot of people.

Whether it was "22" or "Shake It Off," people were seriously hooked. Her songs continuously played on the radio until people who were not even fans were singing along.

Time and time again the question remains: Why?

In 2022, Taylor announced her first tour since 2018, and the following year also revealed even more concert dates around the world.

Tickets were near impossible to get, some even selling at prices over P175,000. People flew far and wide to attend a show.

The very high demand of tickets was enough to send anyone into a frenzy, but there was the promise of a three hour-long concert spanning almost all of Taylor's discography — a captivating show full of lights, impressive sets, outfit changes, and more.

Taylor's rise to fame is not just a recent fad, having been in the industry over half her life.

Her family moved to Nashville, Tennessee, at a young age for the sole purpose of pursuing a musical career. She signed a record deal when she was 14 years old and had her first radio hit, "Tim McGraw," two years later.

Taylor seemed to handle the situation pretty well, even releasing a song called "Innocent" on her third album "Speak Now" after the incident, pardoning Kanye on his behavior and forgiving him.

Some said it was Taylor "rising above," especially as she had just won the first of her four Album of the Year Grammys (so far), though the incident left tension between the two artists.

One large part of why people love Taylor Swift is her expert lyricism. Some people even refer to her as a genius mastermind (a special nod to her song of the same name from 2022's "Midnights").

Her lyrics are autobiographical, often hinting at her breakups and relationships. Taylor has
