14 DAY TRIAL // It has often been said that one of the reasons why Taylor Swift is able to have such impressive musical accomplishments in terms of how she fares in the charts and of sales is, aside from talent, her special connection with her fans. Based on respect, love and, most importantly, on knowing how to make everything fun, said relationship is also at the basis of the latest viral, the For Your ACM Consideration.
As AceShowbiz can also confirm, as a nominee in most major categories, it’s tradition that asks Taylor to make a video that would encourage country music fans to vote for her and thus make of her the winner at the awards ceremony that will take place on April 18. However, instead of making this about herself in a blatant manner, Taylor came up with a fun video that also shows none of her accomplishments would have been possible without her fans or her team.
“Taylor Swift is carrying on the tradition of putting together a viral video asking fans to vote for her at the upcoming Academy of Country Music Awards. The footage starts with a scene where she gathers her team in a meeting room to discuss about the campaign. Each category where Taylor gets nominated receives different treatments. In Song of the Year and Video of the Year, ‘You Belong with Me’ is featured as the theme song. Fans, putting on similar make-up and outfit she is wearing in the accompanying music video, get highlighted in this part,” AceShowbiz says of the viral.
“In Female Vocalist of the Year meanwhile, one of her team does ‘science’ and shows that Taylor is the tallest nominee compared to the other contenders, such as Miranda Lambert, Reba McEntire, Carrie Underwood and Lee Ann Womack. And so based on the ‘research,’ the country music singer already ‘topped’ them. In the last category Entertainer of the Year, footage from Taylor’s Fearless tour are flashed, showing her entertaining thousands of her devotees in live concerts. The clip then ends with her appearing as a nerd, wearing an oversize jumper and thick-framed glasses and putting on fake teeth,” the same e-zine further informs.
Suffice it to say, the video more than shows why Taylor Swift has such a loyal fanbase: because she never takes herself too seriously and she loves her fans more than anything. Those who have been sold on by the video must wait patiently a while longer, for voting for the winners begins on April 1. In the meantime, enjoy the vid for the campaign.
