I don't think Taylor is in it for the money, either. BUT, he is now contractually bound to someone who IS definitely in it for the money, and I think the music will suffer... but only temporarily, until all of the marketing gurus move on to the "next big thing," at which point Taylor will gain more control of the music.
Case in point: thr first winner of AI, Kelly Clarkson. For a few years after winning, she floundered, because she was being forced to release formulaic songs (and to appear in maybe the worst movie ever produced.) But once she wasn't the main focus of the AI group, and she was able to wrest some creative control of her own career, she prospered. Once she recorded a CD with songs that SHE liked, some of which SHE wrote, her career took off. Why? Because she was able once again to be PASSIONATE about what she was doing; that passion is often the difference between making it big, and simply going through the motions.
