POP PRINCESS

There are many different definitions of a 'pop princess'

Some say it is any young beautiful and successful female singer in the music industry but I think that this is too broad of a definition.
A pop princess is a female singer who is perceived to be independent and glamorous living a luxurious lifestyle, singers such as Mariah Carey and Kylie Minogue epitomising this. However in this modern time more and more teenage singers are being branded as pop princesses because of there pure and innocent demeanour.

Demi Lovato is a new breed of pop princess releasing edgy songs but with the same stereotypical style and look that we expect from a pop princess

Miley Cyrus was the first of many disney bred female actors to break into the music industry. Her history as hannah montana reinforces her 'squeaky clean' image and role model status for young girls 

Selena Gomez broke the stereotype slightly by forming a band  but her songs and image still conformed to usual pop princess style creating a very mainstream sound and again becoming a role model for young girls. Also her status as Justin Beiber's current girlfriend enhances her image as the perfect pop princess

Taylor Swift's glamorous image but pure and innocent record as a singer  gives her status as a pop princess even though her music has a more country influence
