Yup, I and my friends thought the same thing, we figured it was all a set up by Kanye West in order to make someone’s career grow or prevent from going down…that’s Hollywood for you!!! Nothing is ever real expect maybe for some “real life” shows/reality shows, but even those, I’m sure, are edited to a certain extent.

Thank you to everyone who left a comment.

I’m hearing what everyone saying about Taylor Swift was a top seller of records in what ever category. Regardless, I didn’t know who she was a few days ago, and I know a people who have never heard her music or her name until now. So this has helped her.

At that, please tell me another situation where she would have got as much publicity on the news, blogs, twitter, etc. in less then 24 hours. Nothing that I could think of that wasn’t truly bad for her. This has only helped her career.

Thanks to everyone for reading.

I doubt many of the people who were unaware of Taylor before the incident would be buying her album(s) now. She’s been a top country pop star for a few years already. Let’s face it, Kanye’s audience and Taylor’s audience are diametrically opposed.

To me the big winner here is Obama. He called Kanye a “jackass” which can only help him in the eyes of your wingnut republican base. Had he gone the other way and said nothing or excused Kanye’s behavior it would have fueled the flames and given talking points to said wingnuts.

First of all, Mark, great article!! I really enjoyed reading from your point of view! I hadn’t thought of it, either, which is awesome that you opened my eyes to it. Yes, I do agree with what you are saying, and, no, I don’t bye Taylor’s albums, but I didn’t like her at all before this instance. Now I see a mature artist who handled it well. I respect her a little more. I also feel bad for Kanye, because although it was stupid, there have been major repercussions from what happened and his career is paying for it. All in all, this will not soon be forgotten.

“and have a “Will Kanye Blow Up!” meter” rofl absolutely priceless!

Great post Mark, I too agree this helped her career in more ways than one, maybe I wont buy her albums cause I didn’t buy them before, but Ill quit telling others how much I cant stand her, now I just feel sorry for her.
