Blog Post 5: Taylor Swift
Yes, I do think that after reading the Taylor Swift article I was influenced on my opinion of her music. It made me take a step back and really think about the content of her songs and her overall image that she is portraying. I found that she has an immature quality about her that I didn’t see before. Especially when the author made the comparison of Taylor Swift to Lady Gaga and how they are close in age but they see decades apart. This article made me step back and see how juvenile all of her songs really are. Each song is about boys. I think especially in today’s generation women don’t need a man to complete their life. Most women are establishing their careers and then finding a man. I do think that the pictures were helpful. This is mainly because the article was so long and having a picture to look at helped keep me engaged in the article. I did think they added to the overall content and helped support the author’s argument. My favorite graphic was the complete works of Taylor Swift symbolic analysis picture. It really showed how simple her music really is.

I definitely agree with you. This article makes you notice things you wouldn't have even cared about before. You're right about women, we don't need a man to complete us, because we are more independent now. I really don't like how she's always the one chasing the guys. That's not right. When the men chases the women , okay well not chase but is the one looking for her, that's when you know they really care about her.
ReplyDeleteI also liked the graphics because of the same reason you did. I really don't like reading super long articles that just have words. I need something else to keep me engaged.
