Strong Female Artists are Uniting Generations

Pop music used to be for kids, but strong female stars like Taylor Swift and Olivia Rodrigo are blurring boundaries and bringing moms and daughters together

As teens, many of Us would have cringed if our parents listened to our music — whether grunge, R&B or emo — and we didn't even have an eye roll emoji to deploy when Mom sang along in the car. Now it's a different story. The biggest pop stars on the planet are as beloved by 30, 40 and 50-somethings as they are by kids.

Acts like Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan unite strong women with their music, style and sass — whether they're a 44-year-old mom negotiating a raise or a fourth grader begging to get her ears pierced.
