I think we should update Taylor's image to something more recent like her 1989 tour. Would anyone be opposed to this image? [[File:Taylor Swift 104 (18280268726).jpg|Taylor Swift 104 (18280268726)]] |

Possible better infobox image
As discussed above the current infobox image isn't to everyone's liking. I propose the following image. What do you think ? Perhaps you have an opinion, @FrB.TG:
-
Current image
-
Proposed image
Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 14:41, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
- I think the current image is one of the best we could possibly have so I don't see the need for a change. – FrB.TG (talk) 09:28, 26 September 2016 (UTC)
- I also prefer the current image. True, the proposed image provides a more flattering view of Ms. Swift's neck and has less shadowing on her face, but her band mate's hair in the background is distracting and makes the image look sloppy and unplanned. Rebbing 17:31, 26 September 2016 (UTC)
- @Rebbing: If your problem is with the hair we could either take it to the photography workshop and get it edited out, or look on Commons for other pictures from the same event. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 17:34, 26 September 2016 (UTC)
- Good idea! The proposed image is from Category:Speak Now World Tour. I found three images I think are worth considering:
-
R1
-
R2
-
R3
- (I can losslessly crop these if needed.) Thoughts? Rebbing 18:12, 26 September 2016 (UTC)
- I really like image R3. I may have a few suitable ones from the Speak Now tour myself. I will try to upload later. Melodyschamble (talk) 16:24, 30 September 2016 (UTC)
- @Melodies1917: Did you have any suitable ones, or should we pass our votes now? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Emir of Wikipedia (talk • contribs) 15:28, 13 October 2016 (UTC)
- @IndianBio: A discussion was started here, but no consensus was reached hence why I tagged it as bold. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 12:56, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for pointing this because somehow I completely missed this discussion. I would say R3 is definitely the strongest. —IB [ Poke ] 13:01, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
- Pretty sure R3 was used in her infobox sometime ago. Penpaperpencil (Talk) 14:43, 5 November 2016 (UTC)
- Even if R3 used previously I don't think that is a reason to discount it. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 20:11, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
- Pretty sure R3 was used in her infobox sometime ago. Penpaperpencil (Talk) 14:43, 5 November 2016 (UTC)
- I think R1, R2, and R3 are all superior to the current image and the previously proposed image. Plain Text (talk) 04:58, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
- @John Shiner 13 and Kellymoat: The discussion is here. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 21:03, 8 January 2017 (UTC)
- Hi, new user here. I believe that the original picture should be kept because it is from her Red era, which is after her Speak Now era. It's a newer picture, so until a different, newer picture is found, that is the one to use. Allikattm (talk) 04:58, 22 February 2017 (UTC)

- @SawOnGam: Please discuss here about any alternative image. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 18:15, 10 March 2017 (UTC)
I strongly recommend R3 It's far better than the present Image coz the present image is of 2012 and its too old Sawongam (talk) 06:48, 23 March 2017 (UTC)
- I agree. The page should feature a more recent picture of Ms. Swift. Nthomps1 (talk) 14:25, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
I can't not understand why FrB.TG choose these pic for this article. Common Wikipedia has many better pic.
-
Current image in Infobox. It looks like she was sitting behind the grid. Can you see the green diagonal?
-
current image in Song writing - This pic is too dark and Swift was frowning
I suggest to use these two image. They are more beautiful.
-
Using for Infobox, it is more recent than GMA 2012
-
Using for Song Writing
—Phamthuathienvan (talk) 14:19, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
@JJMC89: I have left the message here for about three day but no response. Can you discuss with me about it? Phamthuathienvan (talk) 11:24, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
All users above was discussing about the possibility of changing pic. No one said that the Taylor Swift GMA 2012.jpg must be used for the infobox or in this article, similar to the Taylor Swift Cavendish.JPG. I've already present the reason why the article should use those two better pic.Phamthuathienvan (talk) 13:39, 31 May 2017 (UTC) o
I would like to suggets that we update the picture in the info box to this:
The current one is poorly lit, old, and doesn't accentuate that she is a performed in the was the suggested picture does. Angusaditus (talk) 12:25, 22 June 2017 (UTC)
- I agree that a newer picture (from The 1989 World Tour or even newer) should be used. In my opinion Angusaditus's suggested picture would look good, but i suggest using an image with less chromatic aberration. MartinWinkelmann (talk) 12:53, 22 June 2017 (UTC) This account appears to be new and the comments here are the only substaniative edit they have made.
- I also think a newer image should be found and think Angusaditus's suggestion looks fine.Popeye191 (talk) 20:48, 22 June 2017 (UTC)
- I concur it should be updated, and Angusaditus's suggestion is good. Andrewc248 (talk) 23:18, 22 June 2017 (UTC) This accounts has only made around 36 edits at the time of this note
- After trying to find a better image licensed under a free license I agree that Angusaditus's suggestion is most likely the best one. MartinWinkelmann (talk) 04:41, 23 June 2017 (UTC) This account appears to be new and the comments here are the only substaniative edit they have made.

- I agree with Angusaditus that this updated picture works better than the current one! (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 20:54, 22 June 2017 (UTC) This comment is the only edit the newly created Piccprincess has made
I still prefer the previous one. It shows Swift's face clearly and is brighter than the new one. In my opinion, there is no better picture to use for this article's infobox at the moment, except these two pic: Taylor Swift Red Tour 5, 2013.jpg & Taylor Swift Speak Now Tour 2011 4.jpg. Hopefully, in the future, Common Wiki will have really good images for Swift.—Phamthuathienvan (talk) 13:25, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
- I don't know if anyone remembers, but there was a good image of Taylor Swift uploaded by a user, but he requested it to be deleted as the image was never used anywhere else. It appeared for a day or two in the infobox before it was removed. Here is the discussion. King Cobra (talk) 21:14, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
Personal life
I believe there should be a section called Personal Life as Taylor's life, specially her relationships, has been of great talk in the media and has been of great inspiration for her songs. Johnnyboytoy (talk) 02:24, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
- I am going to vote 'no' on that. She's not married, she doesn't have kids. And, as you said, most of her songs are based on her life, which means it has already been discussed elsewhere.Kellymoat (talk) 02:37, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
- I also am opposed for the reasons previously discussed. Rebbing 13:22, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
- As a reader, I would like to see a section on her personal life. Most other pop stars have such sections in their entries. You don't have to marry and have kids to qualify for having a personal life. I don't listen to her music, so "most of her songs are based on her life" doesn't wash with me either.
- And it's the only reason she's "famous". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ontheweighdown (talk • contribs) 12:40, 22 June 2017 (UTC)
Jewish
Why is there no mention of the fact she is Jewish? https://medium.com/@resnikoff/nobody-talks-about-the-fact-that-taylor-swift-is-jewish-heres-why-it-matters-64aececd20b (2A00:23C4:638A:5000:D36:520D:526C:745E (talk) 16:50, 5 June 2017 (UTC))
- Because she is not. This is no more suitable than the link you posted to serve as a citation, nor is this, but they make clear that the Medium piece was satire. We'll need a better source than that if you think one exists. General Ization Talk 17:02, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
