she sleeps with celebrities then writes about it in her songs, so you can say she's a AList reporter. Plus, she's better than yr fave, etc

Because She is the best singer. She also writes the best music. There is no other singer that is as great as Taylor Swift! Not only that,Taylor Swift is also a great performer and does the best performances that no other artist can top.

Probably because she writes her own song, making her songs a lot more relatable and not a product. I don't know, that's probably why I like her songs.

The thing with Taylor Swift is, her music is very pleasant, soft, and comforting. People jump on any music that is pleasant. That's all an artist needs.

The same thing that makes everyone sell: marketing.

Anyway, Taylor's success, IMO, is simply because she has a huge appeal. Cute girl next door with catchy songs, plus she can sell to both the country audiences and young girl audiences, two of the biggest buying markets.

A few things... - Joe Jonas
- Kanye West
- stupid, poorly written, relatable songs about her teenage years that she still seems to be living now
- her sexcapades
- girl next door look/demeanor/act
- 'america's sweetheart'
- constant promotion

She's got that princessy thing that appeals to little girls, that wholesome thing that appeals to old people, that innocent thing that appeals to gross middle-aged men, and enough songwriting talent to make her "cool" enough for teens and 20-somethings to listen to. Oh, and she's country. So she sings with a twang about generic small town issues, rather than sex and dancing, causing everyone from the South to fall in love with her, because that's the only music they can relate to.

Your unwavering support for your fav and constant reminders that she is the best is truly an inspiration to us all. Pulse Legend. :'( :'(

It's interesting though, when you think about it, she's going to outsell almost every artist who has released music this year in just a few weeks, even big hitters like Katy Perry, Ke$ha, GaGa...it's a little weird to me how she can do that so effortlessly and yet someone like Katy Perry, who has just as much - if not more at times - hype than she does still has to do a lot of work to even hit gold after having 2 massive hits. Why is Taylor outperforming all of these artists so massively? I get she brings in a large appeal but still, its crazy to me.

She's safe. It's the key thing about her. She has wide appeal to both teens, tweens, parents and older people. She gets radio/video airplay on Pop, adult radio formats and country. But again, she's safe. She writes about what most people experience. For younger audiences, she speaks to them and what they're experiencing now and for older people, she brings nostalgia. She's not complicated lyrically or musically and her songs aren't difficult to sing. She's about as safe as one can be in the music industry.

It's definitely not her live singing, that's for sure.

Oh, and she's country. So she sings with a twang about generic small town issues, rather than sex and dancing, causing everyone from the South to fall in love with her, because that's the only music they can relate to. No shade or anything, but that's just inaccurate. Firstly, she's not even a Southern Country girl, she's from Pennsylvania. Second, she doesn't have a twang, at least not a natural one. And finally, she doesn't sing about small town issues(maybe a few songs are about this), she sings (mostly) about boys. Oh and saying that that's the only thing people from the South can relate to...well, that's just rude. Shame on you.
