Recently, Newsweek magazine (USA) published an article by writer John Mac Ghlionn titled Taylor Swift Is Not a Good Role Model . In the article, the writer points out the reasons why Taylor Swift is not perfect or has a positive influence as the media still praises.

Taylor Swift (born 1989) is considered a pop music icon and a star with a strong influence in the world, breaking all previously established stereotypes. Taylor captures many different genres, eras, ages and trends.

Times magazine rates Taylor Swift as one of the most important artists of the current generation, with great influence on contemporary culture. The star born in 1989 is said to have surpassed superstars such as Beyoncé, Justin Bieber, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry and Miley Cyrus.

Taylor Swift has more than 283 million subscribers on Instagram and 33 million followers on TikTok. Her brilliant career is associated with top charting songs and Taylor herself has a strong impact on women globally.

As of May, Forbes magazine honored Taylor Swift on the list of global USD billionaires when the female singer owned 1.3 billion USD. In particular, Taylor Swift’s global tour The Eras Tour starting in March 2023 was recorded exceeding 1 billion USD in commercial revenue and had a strong global influence.

The Eras Tour global tour also brings huge commercial revenue to the cities it passes through, creating jobs for millions of people…

In the eyes of writer John Mac Ghlionn, Taylor Swift is not only a pop music icon, but also a powerful economic force. The singer’s influence created a new branch of economics called “Swiftonomics”.

“Her current tour, The Eras Tour , has proven to be a veritable goldmine for host cities around the world, generating hundreds of millions in revenue and thousands of temporary jobs.” “, he wrote.

The author recognizes Taylor as the most influential celebrity in America and a cultural monument at the present time. However, in Mr. Ghlionn’s view, Taylor Swift is not a good role model for young women. The reason given by the writer is that she is still single, has not given birth at the age of 34 and after many noisy love affairs.

“Role models must be people worth emulating. Taylor Swift’s musical talent and business acumen are certainly admirable, even commendable. But is her personal life Is that what every woman wants and follows?”, writer Ghlionn wrote.

The writer in Newsweek also pointed out that Taylor Swift dated many famous men such as Harry Styles, Joe Jonas, Jake Gyllenhaal and most recently American football player Travis Kelce.

The American writer said that openness in relationships like Taylor’s reflects the dating style of most young girls in today’s society but also raises issues related to stability, commitment and even love.

“Would any parent want their daughter to date 12 different men in just a few years? I don’t intend to criticize Swift, I just want to raise an interesting question,” the writer emphasized.

The author commented that Taylor Swift’s love life seems to promote a superficial emotional lifestyle.

“Many of her lyrics often portray herself as a victim. This may influence young women to adopt a similar perspective in their relationships, whether romantic or not. Taylor Swift is the most famous music artist of all time,” the veteran writer declared.

Writer John Mac Ghlionn also expressed concern that many young girls admire and follow Taylor Swift’s lifestyle. He believes that Taylor’s success partly comes from advertising and communication technology in current society.

“Young girls today need better role models. They need role models that bring real depth rather than virtual values created by people themselves,” he wrote.

The arguments of writer John Mac Ghlionn have become a topic of discussion on many forums and right under Newsweek’s post. Some opinions say that the writer has a somewhat backward, harsh view and shows insecurity regarding the success of women.

“Why is Taylor Swift not considered a role model because she is unmarried and has no children?”, “No man has ever been criticized in the media for being a bad role model for young men. boy because he is 34 years old, unmarried and has no children”, “Young women don’t have to aspire to get married and have children. Personally, I’m not interested in Taylor Swift, but marrying someone who works hardworking, financially independent and contributing a lot to social charity, to judge her as a bad role model is short-sighted” are some comments refuting the writer’s opinion.

A group of people supporting the female singer born in 1989 also denied the male writer’s opinion and believed that the blonde singer’s success comes from her own talent and constant efforts. They also believe that Taylor brings real values to society and the economy.

Besides, some people seemed to agree with the male writer when writing: “Everyone is allowed to have their own opinion. I don’t want my daughter to seek fame on her own. Money and admiration from work They can hardly provide comfort for a lonely life later.”
