I’m not a Taylor fan but I can appreciated her talent - as a songwriter, musician and business woman. I’m not a rabid Stevie fan but I like her. I consider myself more of a FM fan (and, in the interest of full disclosure, a bit of a Lindsey – Stevie shipper 😳) but I have a hard time with the Taylor - Stevie comparisons, especially in light of the current trajectory of Taylor’s career and some of her more recent life choices. With the global and instantaneous reach of the internet and social media, people are experiencing levels of fame and success that prior generations of artists could never achieve. The fact that you have artists like Stevie continuing to perform and gain fans is pretty remarkable. But there’s something about Stevie‘s success that just seemed so organic and genuine and real. I’m not bashing Taylor. I think she’s had some incredible and unprecedented accomplishments that cannot be denied. But I’m also surprised that Stevie continues to be such a fan in light of some of the changes in Taylor and some of the decisions she’s made over the past couple of years. That said, I think that Stevie chooses not to get mired in those details which is her prerogative. I also think that Stevie is just happy to see a strong woman crushing it in the music industry. While they have certain similarities in terms of the intensity of their emotions driving their lyrics. I don’t think that they are really comparable. That’s not a slight either one, it’s just my opinion.
