The All American Superstar

With a name that rolls off the tongue, it’s hard not to know who this 21-year old singing sensation is. Taylor Swift is sometimes known as America’s Sweetheart with the girl next-door appearance. With Grammy wins, a humble spot in the country music community, and even a celebrity rivalry with one of Hip Hop’s biggest names (Kanye West), Taylor Swift is fearlessly taking over the music industry.

Her look is rather wholesome. With her perfect blonde curls and white dress after white dress, Swift certainly has a predictable appearance. The photo above is just one of many photo shoots where she is depicted looking innocent wearing white and acting angelic. Perhaps that is what the music executives of her record label are trying to push for her. A look that is memorable and static in the viewers mind creates a solid fan base that can only grow with further success.

The music industry today represents women in a sexy, sultry, and to some extent an offensive manner. The Pussycat Dolls, Rihanna, and even Disney starlet Miley Cyrus, have all been transformed from young powerful female role models into sex symbols.

The photo above argues how Miss Swift isn’t like one of these dirty girls. She’s pure and relatable to the everyday girl. Her make up is minimal and each curled blonde lock simply bounces in the beautiful sunny weather. Her perfect smile furthermore makes Swift friendly and approachable. However, how much longer will this image last? For all we know, Taylor could crack under the pressure of the music industry anytime where she’ll come to a point in her career where she “should’ve said no.”

Regardless, Swift and Swift's management team have successfully marketed her into someone who people want to be or aspire to be like. Her music paired with her wholesome image has proven to bring Swift success. Let’s just hope she knows how to renew her look in a classic and mature fashion.
