On the plus side...
She's actually crazy successful in a market that has been mostly demolished, as it's been left without a viable business model for a while.
(Not that I can name a single Taylor Swift song...)

I wonder if that's because more people are willing to buy her music rather than just steal it, or if it's more about the live shows? Kinda hard to pirate being in an audience.

Has TIME changed the definition? I thought it was the person that, for better or for worse, most influenced the news. So many others have influenced the new this year.
I mean, TS as "entertainer of the year?" Sure, why not?
I disagree with this being a sign of an unserious nation. But it is a sign of TIME being an unserious newsweekly.

Nothing is more modern America than hearing someone who paid $1,500 for a Taylor Swift ticket whine about their student loans.

Yeah, that "most influence the news" always struck me as thin cover for just doing whatever they wanted anyway. I guess TMZ is short for Time MagaZine.
