Lindal Kidd Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 While I'm here...(running around furniture to evade Selene)... Do you think we could talk Taylor Swift into changing her name to "Generic Blonde Girl"? I mean, she has SO many looks. It's got to the point where I see any attractive blonde woman between 20 and 35 and think, "Is that...Taylor Swift?" 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolig Loon Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 I wouldn't know Taylor Swift if she walked up and said "Hi!". You could fool me with any blonde, so she's already "Generic Blonde Girl" as far as I'm concerned. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said, I wouldn't recognize her if she walked up to me on the street. That's pretty much "generic," and purely from my own personal perspective. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maryanne Solo Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Always been fairly meh about Taylor until listening to that video. Show me anyone else whos natural, (not digitally re-engineered or re-generated), voice, can get that close to sounding like Enya's incredible harmonies: -> 2:07 - 2:25s and I'll eat my prim hat. I would be very interested to learn more about her vocal layering process when recording. Is she the musical director and the major influence in sound engineering? I don't care much for words, but the singing is amazing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said, I wouldn't recognize her if she walked up to me on the street. That's pretty much "generic," and purely from my own personal perspective. I think the issue actually is perspective, she’s quite a talented award-winning musical artist and has been since 2007 with nearly a dozen albums under her belt while just turning 30 this year. Memes and jokes aside, she has won 10 Grammys and has a huge list of other award nominations and wins. That’s hardly anything close to ‘generic’ by anyone’s standards whether you follow or care for popular music or not so I found the statement about her ‘looks’ dismissive and uninformed regardless of the intent. I’m not a Taylor ‘stan’ but she is rather a big deal. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(And yes, my original comment was GENERIC, not "genetic". I don't think it "diminishes" her at all. More like making her a whole category instead of an individual.)

Amina Sopwith Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Of course it doesn't diminish her. She is unquestionably very talented, but it's a fact of showbiz that there is only a very narrow allowance for how women are allowed to look. It's natural that they can be difficult to tell apart when there's almost no real diversity among them and the few outliers are the exceptions that prove the rule. I can never recognise Sienna Miller, for some reason. It's like I have selective face blindness. It doesn't matter how many times I see her, I can never ever remember what she looks like. Trying to picture her now and drawing a blank. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's natural that they can be difficult to tell apart when there's almost no real diversity among them It seems the ideal for feminine beauty is to look like a baby. Babies have hairless bodies, a bright face that differs from an older face color that tends to fade over time (especially bright lips), big eyes (babies eyes are disproportionately large). Of course there are other factors that play into this - our culture has a fascination with youth, and with making an extreme contrast between men and women apparent in order to fit male/female stereotypes of beauty. And then there's this phenomenon for further analysis: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original comment was simply about the fact that it's hard to tell her apart from any number of other blonde women. And yes, I'm definitely "uninformed." Thanks to the recent flurry of photos in this thread, I'm more likely to recognize her than I was a week ago, but I wouldn't put money on it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
