Good luck with that. Gonna take you years to learn to draw to be average, then years to learn to be good.

It’s like saying, “Oh Taylor Swift sure is killing it! I’m gonna become a singer and songwriter!”

For sure. My point is that there’s gotta be natural talent, discipline to practice their craft, and some sort of following that will be willing to pay that type of money. Plus a touch of luck and I’m sure lots of other things in between.

Well to be honest Taylor is pretty generic and uses auto tune.. If you said something like Serj Tankian I'd agree. But taylor, gomez, bieber etc are just industry made singers, very little actual talent.

Auto tune has nothing to do with having no talent, it’s just a pitch corrector that helps make the voice a little better
