Title: People you SHOULD have heard of? Post by: tikay on May 27, 2015, 06:26:41 PM Had you ever heard of this young lady? Youngest ever entrant in the "Forbes Most Powerful Women in the World" (which is headed by Angela Merkel). She has 58 million Twitter followers. Her latest album supposedly made up 22% of all album sales in in a particular period in the USA recently. Her fans are known as "Swifties". Her name is Taylor Swift.

95% of people reading this will have heard of Taylor Swift. Went out briefly with Harry Styles. Now dating Calvin Harris. Used to be a country singer. Now much poppier. Even an out of touch oldie like me knows who she is. Title: Re: People you SHOULD have heard of? Post by: tikay on May 27, 2015, 06:49:45 PM [Checks date. Not 1 April.

Even an out of touch oldie like me knows who she is. No chance. You think the likes of Camel, Karabiner, Red-Dog, booder (or anyone in Norfolk, come to think of it) will have heard of her? I'm not buying that. Title: Re: People you SHOULD have heard of? Post by: Marky147 on May 27, 2015, 06:53:22 PM YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XFBUM8dMqw

Title: Re: People you SHOULD have heard of? Post by: Doobs on May 27, 2015, 07:25:13 PM She/her management tried to patent the phrase "this sick beat". No idea if it was succesful. Shake it off is a very good pop song, and she comes across v well in interviews. Good luck to her.

A more country example than the others YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYa1eI1hpDE And funnily enough there was something recently (might have been Forbes) that said she was (commercially at least) only really comparable to Madonna in her prime (for individuals, obviously lots of super successful bands around) Title: Re: People you SHOULD have heard of?

I catch 4 or 5 news bulletins on the wireless every day. I read the BBC News website daily. I subscribe daily to a whole bunch of interesting & informative websites. I follow Camel on Twitter. I don't watch ITV. Miss Swift has never - to my knowledge - crossed my radar. Title: Re: People you SHOULD have heard of?
