00:00 11-time Grammy winning musician and one of the biggest stars in the world the
00:04 one the only Taylor Swift everybody. It's official Taylor Swift is a billionaire.
00:10 Taylor Swift reveals the truth about the dark side of fame. Reflecting on her
00:15 journey Taylor stands as a beacon of authenticity in the music industry. Her
00:20 impromptu tribute to Jimmy's late mother during her last-minute performance on
00:24 his show left audiences teary-eyed. She would squeeze my hand three times and
00:28 say I love you and I would squeeze back I love you too.
00:33 And while her rescue of Dave Grohl at Paul McCartney's party earned her wide
00:39 acclaim. Not to mention her spontaneous appearances such as her unexpected
00:43 performance at a wedding have consistently delighted fans. Swift's
00:47 journey however has not been without its trials and what follows we're gonna talk
00:52 about the challenging times she faced behind the scenes. I just struggle with
00:55 the idea of like not feeling like a person. In the Netflix documentary Miss
00:58 Americana a glimpse was provided into the less glamorous aspects of Swift's
01:04 life in the limelight. I became the person everyone wanted me to be. We'll
01:10 uncover the reasons behind her emotional breakdown and subsequent hiatus from the
01:14 music scene. Today Swift has left those struggles behind and is a dominant force
01:19 in the music industry. A notable success was the 2020 Netflix documentary Miss
01:23 Americana which offered an unfiltered look into several years of the singer-
01:27 songwriter's life including the highs and lows.
01:32 A heart-wrenching scene showed the harsh reality of famous Swift alongside her
01:39 mother expressed exhaustion over the continued emergence of past issues
01:43 despite her soaring success. Swift addressed the troubling impact of the
01:47 trending hashtag #TaylorSwiftIsOverParty. Toss it out and
01:51 reject it. Taylor Swift discussed the impact of the tag trending online saying
01:58 we're people that got into this line of work because we wanted people to like us
02:01 because we were insecure because we like to hear the sign of clapping because it
02:05 made us forget that we were not good enough. She continues I've been doing
02:08 this for 15 years and I'm tired of it it just feels like it's more than music now
02:11 at this point and most days I'm like okay and then sometimes I'm like it just
02:15 gets loud sometimes. I think for me having a magnifying glass on my life has
02:20 been a good thing. This marked a difficult period for Swift leading to
02:23 her retreat from the music industry for over a year. Nobody physically saw me for
02:28 a year. Fans reacted to this revelation with overwhelming support and admiration
02:32 for her transparency. The majority of fans not only appreciated Swift's
02:36 sincerity but also empathized with the pressures of living in the public eye.
02:40 The top comments on YouTube wrote people who said Taylor has the ugliest
02:43 personality has the worst personality in the universe for supporting Kim and
02:47 Kanye hurting Taylor. I'm really happy for you I'm let you finish but Beyonce
02:51 had one of the best videos of all time. Taylor has a pure soul ever. I can only
02:55 imagine how hard being in the public eye can be. I know being famous is really
02:59 great but it also I really hope Taylor knows how much we Swifties care about
03:03 her. I hope she knows that we support her every day and we will always have her
03:07 back. Adding on to the discussion of the challenges Taylor Swift has faced in her
03:10 career it's important to highlight the issue of sexism in the music industry.
03:14 Despite being one of the biggest names in music Swift has been consistently
03:18 scrutinized and criticized for her every move from her dating life to her
03:22 wardrobe choices she has faced a level of scrutiny that male artists rarely
03:27 encounter. In the early days of her career Swift was often criticized for
03:31 writing about her personal experiences and relationships in her songs. This
03:35 criticism came from both fans and fellow artists who accused her of being too
03:38 open and vulnerable however male artists like Ed Sheeran and John Mayer are
03:42 praised for using their own experiences as inspiration for their music. Other
03:49 fans believe that the best type of revenge Taylor Swift could have gotten
03:52 is the success she's enjoying today at the very top of the music industry. Not
03:56 only has Taylor Swift bounced back but she's among the elite in music with a
04:00 net worth reaching a billion dollars and yes she's nowhere near done yet. But that
04:06 is all for today thank you for watching.
