The Popstar to be a discontinued model

Are you ready, "are you ready for it?" like Taylor Swift in your current Songs? Ready for pyromaniac deposits, for elaborate dance choreography, for great emotions and Songs that travel in two hours, the different areas of the Popmainstreams? On the Trailer wants us to tune in to the new concert film by Taylor Swift. "Taylor Swift's Reputation Stadium Tour" is the name of the production is simply that of streaming service Netflix launches new year's eve. And we can be recording this concert in our offices to witness a financially highly successful Tour, the experience was 2018 in North America, Japan, Australia, and England and Ireland – if you could get hold of Tickets.

Who looks at the Trailer, but it also believes that in the world of Stadionpops not much has moved since the arena of stars such as Madonna appeared in the eighties: You can see in the audience now glowing smart phones instead of lighters, and how the musician through the hall flies, more elegant than earlier. But beyond the technical progress, the show effects seem to be equal and to be part of a modular principle for stadium tours (indispensable: the acoustic insert that is supposed to signal the proximity to the audience). You can also say: Taylor Swift is a Superstar-type, the Here and Now a discontinued model.

The new Pop is not exactly locatable

Perhaps, this white Taylor Swift: On the "Reputation"Tour, the 29-year-old American with Camila Cabello and Charli XCX had two younger ladies, stand up for what the "New York Times" has referred to a complex Feature recently as a "Pop 2.0". Camila Cabello published this year their debut, to be found on the "Havana" is a Hit on Spotify already over a billion Streams. "Havana" is a Hit, fits almost anywhere: in the Rap-Playlists (thanks to the Rapper Young Thug as the guest), in the Latino-Pop Jukeboxes and everywhere anyway, where it will be after the summer. The Englishwoman Charli XCX released their Album "Pop 2", on which she breaks the conventions of mass-market pop songs with nasty Sounds.

in these two examples, we can see that "Pop 2.0" is no longer just for pop music as we know it, stands for music of the fast stimuli and catchy melodies, but for a music that borrows from anywhere. Pop is, like so much of the online culture-driven presence, no longer tied to a location or an exact location: The "New York Times" is reminiscent of the phenomenal rise of the Korean boy band BTS, the fills, everything blended, and worldwide stages. Who listens to their perhaps biggest Hit, "DNA", know this is not music, right off the bat where your centre. What is certain is that In the USA there is, even if Hip-Hop indicates the long sound of the mainstream.

Conceivable distance of the "Pop 2.0"Generation are also the traditional heroes of pop history. Rather, the Idol of the Gegenwartspop the canadian Drake, who has broken up with his Hip-Hop manifestation of this year, all the streaming records and with an uncanny amount of number one Hits, an eternal record of the Beatles has broken. In the case of Drake it all melds so wonderfully to a streaming-optimized to all Sorts of, afraid to the Extreme, and in the Background to Readily pass through. Listen? You can already – you do not need to but also, because of the urgency of a different sound.

A production, which is relying on the good old Album format

How far even an artist like Taylor Swift of this Generation, to listen to your last Album, "Reputation", the 2017 is published. The Album is of course aware of the commercial bids the spirit of the times and on the guest list for Ed Sheeran and Rapper Future, what promises to be a more and More Streams. But who listens to the Songs now, with some distance, discovered a production still relies on the old form of Album. Swift proposes a narrative arc, starts awesome, because it's your Reputation, and then ends quietly in the piano ballad "New Year's Day". This is Pop, as we knew him. And as he is in individual cases still is very successful, what Taylor Swift, the same proves itself, because the Stars of our longing to be like the silent you a figure of identification. But promising for the future of this model is no longer.

However, Taylor Swift has shown with their "Reputation"Tour in the future. However, not in a positive sense: At a concert in California, they had the faces of their Fans secretly film and scanned the images with a face recognition software. Taylor Swift want to protect with this measure, against possible stalkers. The data collection and surveillance state-like culture: it has long been held in the stadium shows of pop stars to enter.
