It's unthreatening mall music with a great beat, delivered by a beautiful young woman with not too much clothing on, and a cadre of gyrating dancers with even less clothing on; and, she by all accounts is a generally good egg and not a dysfunctional mess or arsehole.
It also stimulates the economy in a generally positive way.
I’ve felt this way about many artists and musical acts, not just Taylor Swift.
Sometimes, the listening public just want formulaic and simple songs delivered by women who are easy on the eyes. They consider that to be “enlightening.”

Yet she was popular long before she was performing like that. In 2012, she won Entertainer of the Year at the Academy of Country Music Awards. And she wrote "You Belong with Me" when she was a teenager.

Which is funny, because I remember a time when people were saying Taylor Swift was so great because she wasn't out jumping around in next-to-nothing like so many other singers. And then shortly afterward...
And there's nothing wrong with however she wants to dress, I just think it's a bit funny that she was touted for not dressing scantily, but then shortly afterward that became her look.
I think it's simply "right place, right time, right luck." I've no doubt she has talent and is worth listening to, but, she's not the Beatles and people almost seem to act like she is. Why have so many other things become inexplicably popular and had people obsessed with them? For example, I can't think Frozen was probably *that* great of a movie, bacon is okay but not worthy of the worship it's gotten in recent years, why were people pasting mustaches all over everything a few years ago, etc. But it seems something comes along and the public hits on it and treats it with way more reverence than it actually deserves.
Marketing. She is hyped by the music machine as the greatest thing, so people think she's the greatest thing. Spend any time on YouTube and you can find as good or better singers that just don't get "discovered" and don't have the marketing magic.

She IS an economy. Chambers of Commerce should be paying her to bring her show to town, if the last tour is any indication. Just incredible hotel and restaurant bumps everywhere she performed.
