This article takes a new look one of the world’s most prolific pop stars. It discusses how Swift is photographed straight on, eyes watching the reader in two magazine cover, Time and Bloomberg Businessweek. There are two magazine that are well known for discussing individual’s power, career, and economic strength.
This article discusses how pop stars are usually shot showing off their bodies in fashionable clothing or photoshopped. Instead Swift forces the reader to consider her as a serious forced to be reckoned with in these photos. She is not sexualized and instead framed as most men are on these important magazines.
This is definitely a step in the right direction for considering women as equally capable and powerful.
This is great! Definitely moving women forward with these magazine covers. I love how the author (Rachel Semigran) noted that she isn’t framed in a sexualized way as opposed to the other magazines.
