Associated acts

Am I the only one who feels the associated acts section in the infobox could use a cleanup. The relevant template says not to include one-time collaborators. That would mean Kendrick Lamar should go, and there are probably others that should as well. Calidum T|C 02:50, 21 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm in favor of deleting the whole thing. Swift's fame and significance rests on her own work, not on occasional collaborations or co-performances. Softlavender (talk) 03:37, 21 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I agree, the whole thing needs to go as per Softlavender. Cheers! WordSeventeen (talk) 03:49, 21 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with Softlavender too. 213.57.109.191 (talk) 04:12, 21 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I mean Jack Antonoff And Ed Sheeran should definitely be noted at Associated Acts. Taylor is one of the only solo acts not to have this list. Also I had no idea this page existed sorry.Finaltwo (talk) 06:29, 21 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Jack Antonoff is only a songwriter and producer (in Taylor's case) which means nothing around these parts and one time collaborators unfortunately do not count so there is no person who would qualify unless they collaborate with Taylor more then once, Finaltwo. GuzzyG (talk) 09:30, 21 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I mean Jack Antonoff would be a collaborator as he help produce/write four songs and two separate occasions. Jack is his own act as the looks of fun. Is just about over. As well as Ed even through they've only ever had one song together, their careers are so intertwined with each other. With them constantly performing with each other. I mean Lady Gaga, Katy Perry and even Ed has this list. Why doesn't Taylor? She didn't get to the top solo. Finaltwo (talk) 04:07, 23 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 29 May 2015

I think there should be a more current photo as the main article photo. Like these ones? 1989 World Tour, Bossier City, May 20 http://taylorpictures.net/albums/concerts/2015/1989tour/bossiercity/normal_018.JPG

1989 World Tour, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, May 22 http://taylorpictures.net/albums/concerts/2015/1989tour/batonrouge/normal_041.JPG http://taylorpictures.net/albums/concerts/2015/1989tour/batonrouge/normal_044.JPG http://taylorpictures.net/albums/concerts/2015/1989tour/batonrouge/normal_045.JPG

(I love Taylor and I'm very picky haha)

Those photos are all copyrighted (note the watermark) so we can't use them. Calidum T|C 02:38, 29 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Should Swift be listed as a feminist?

Swift identifies as a feminist. Should we then add her to the categories "Feminist musicians" and "American feminists"? My stance on the subject is that, in the words of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, "Whoever says they’re feminist is [a] feminist." A user named Softlavender disagrees. Thoughts? — Preceding unsigned comment added by MagicatthemovieS (talkcontribs)

If reliable, unbiased sources do not identify her as a feminist, then we really can't attach the label to her, either. The threshold of inclusion is verifiability over truth. -- WV 18:36, 29 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Here are a couple: The Independent and The Guardian, the latter calling her a "feminist role model." She recently called feminism "the most important movement" she could embrace [4]. Calidum T|C 18:57, 29 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Swift refers to herself as a feminist in this article: The Huffington Post — Preceding unsigned comment added by MagicatthemovieS (talkcontribs)
Swift referring to herself as a feminist is a primary source - not enough for inclusion. The two publications/websites provided by Calidum are secondary, reliable sources. Those are enough for supported inclusion. That said, her feminist label should be in the article and supported by those references for the category to be added. -- WV 19:20, 29 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I added Swift to the aforementioned categories and used the aforementioned two sources as sources. Thanks for the input! — Preceding unsigned comment added by MagicatthemovieS (talkcontribs)
Great work team! Regards,--Soulparadox (talk) 19:48, 29 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Don't automatically exclude primary sources. Please refer to WP:PRIMARYNOTBAD. Nyth63 12:22, 9 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Calvin Harris

Is a three month relationship worth noting? Just wondering. -- 76.14.125.113 (talk) 21:07, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Generally speaking, no. Wikipedia is not a newspaper. Softlavender (talk) 03:31, 6 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Personal Life - Friends

Should her friendships be listed in her personal life. I mean you have relationships, residents and politics listed and Taylor's friends are starting to become famous for being her friends. Jaime King is naming her the God Mother to he child and friends that range from Lily Aldridge to Gracie Gold. I mean if Joe Jonas and Harry Styles is mentioned so should some of her friends. Thoughts?Finaltwo (talk) 23:55, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please read WP:NOTABILITY and WP:NOTINHERITED as well as WP:NOTNEWS. Put what you learn from all three into mind and you should understand why the answer is: No. -- WV 00:10, 6 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Product Endorsement -Taylor Swift is no longer with Spotify!!!

Thewisestwizard (talk) 21:44, 7 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: as you have not cited reliable sources to back up your request, without which no information should be added to, or changed in, any article. - Arjayay (talk) 22:07, 7 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Image from Billboard

I've just reverted an infobox image added without discussion since it doesn't appear to be copyright-free. We can't just lift an image from Billboard, say that it doesn't belong to Billboard, and then simply use it -- SOMEONE took that photo, and that person owns the rights to it.

In any case, we discuss major changes to infobox images, unless the infobox image is so objectively bad or on-MOS. --Tenebrae (talk) 05:25, 10 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! :) Am new here, & my apologies, BUT, don't see where else to address the fact that someone erroneously short-changed, well, everyone, in posting on this page that "Style" only reached #6 on Billboard's charts. When, Not only the News section on da Dear Taylor's Official Site, But Also, an article, written by 1 Mr. Gary Trust on March 16, 2015, @ 4:25 PM EDT, on Billboard's Official Site, rightfully report dat "Style" 'flew' to Number 1! Now, rightfully so, da Dear Taylor's page here on Wikipedia is Protected; SO, then someone there @ Wikipedia, behind the scenes needs to either make da True, Rightful changes; Or, please allow me to do so, with all dat dat entails...I'll be patiently waiting; so wot's it gonna be?... Signed, G.T. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Da Famous Teddy R. (talkcontribs) 18:19, 23 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Request for new article sections

The following are the two sections from List of awards and nominations received by Taylor Swift page that was removed and was suggested by User:FrB.TG to be here in the parent article. Take note that these are legit and are of worth to be in this article. Thank you! Mat 1997 (talk) 09:33, 13 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Stance Against Free Streaming

Should her stance against free steaming and compensation for songwriters be added somewhere. She just took a stand against Apple and its currently getting a lot of attention. Finaltwo (talk) 03:24, 22 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's in the article.--Nowa (talk) 09:37, 23 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Unclear sentence

In the article it says "She was named for James Taylor"

Is this meant to mean that she was named after James Taylor? I don't understand why James Taylor would tell someone to name their child after him. 2601:645:4300:B185:2859:AE2A:80E5:39D0 (talk) 09:34, 24 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
