representation

• traditionally in the media women are presented in domestic ways- not the case for Taylor Swift, lots of low angle shots of her appearing on stage at concerts on tour etc
• lots of images of her on social media/online of her in massive crowds of fans connoting success and popularity- subverting traditional domestic stereotypes around women
• Taylor does show maternal feelings towards her cats- perhaps slightly feeding into the traditional stereotypes of female gender- maternal more domestic and caring behaviours
• represents women and her in quite a sexualised way, images of her in leotards or tight and revealing costumes in flirtatious poses
• Some may argue Taylor's 'glamour' is not always centred at a male gaze
• marginalised/not powerful rep of men in her online media
• Taylor swift has shown support for some feminist movements online- perhaps reflects social and cultural feminist issues and desire for strong role models
• Quite a lot of youthful representation in Taylor's posts- energetic- eg image of her in a 'humorous' costume- squirrel costume, images of her at parties with friends- fun/outgoing,
• Taylor swift challenges stereotypes of women in their 30s by avoiding wife/ mother imagery in her social media,
