Taylor Swift and talyor swift

Klosterman originally illustrates Taylor Swift as the stereotypical popular artist; a paparazzo following, a luxurious car, a home in Beverly Hills, and even pictures of a probably expensive shoot for Wildest Dreams.

However, Klosterman quickly contrasts this stereotypical image through the extraneous details regarding Taylor Swifts personal life, providing an entirely new perspective some of us may have not considered.We can see this contrast in action when Taylor ends her call with J TIMB, where Klosterman directly critiques taylor's reaction to Justin Timberlake. Right before this call, Taylor was showing Klosterman snippets of her new weird, whacky music video for Wildest Dreams, and then provides a new personality from taylor swift for us to consume.

Klosterman then turns this into a narrative element through which we reels in the reader's interest. As the article adopts a more traditional interview-style later in the article, Klosterman paints Taylor Swift when questioning her on her personal life being a main influence on her music. In a way, Klosterman is able to maintain this presentation of T/taylor's two personalities by abruptly switching between each during his narrative, most likely to cement the idea of the existence of dual personalities regarding media and to maintain it. A motif we've been seeing with Klosterman's articles is this dual personality idea, suggesting that if this is occurring with multiple roles models, this is most likely occurring to us as well; whereas, media has now created the NEED for a second personality, celebrity or average Joe.
