Taylor Swift. I actually like her music. I also understand that hardcore fans will exist for every artist. But Swifties take it to another level. I'm lowkey impressed by that fandom, but don't get it.
I just saw Black Joe Lewis play last night and I know for a fact he's a much better guitarist. But she packs stadiums and only 50 people were at his show. maybe it's because he doesn't show off his thighs?
I think you're generalizing her way too much here. Her fanbase is mostly girls. They aren't coming to see her thighs. She may not be the greatest guitarist in the world but she's a great song writer and singer. Her Eras tour was also incredibly well done.
If she was 275 lb nobody would purchase her music. My point is not to body shame, but yeah ... Don't think for a second her look and mystique isn't half of what is being sold to kids.
"my point isn't to body shame" as you body shame lmao. Maybe, and this might be crazy, she writes good music. I haven't looked at a single picture of Taylor's thighs before buying all her music.
Your point is fucking stupid. If she weighed more people wouldn't buy her music? So because she dresses up she's selling her body? And if she can't sell her body she wouldn't be successful. Because women aren't successful unless they're selling their body. Touch grass buddy. Maybe listen to T Swift while you're at it. Unless she's too big for you.
Lol! The music industry has fuck all to do with music..!
You know how people who are into Q-Anon and Pizza-gate look at strange symbols and odd numerology to find strange connections to prove whatever crazy thing they believe. Taylor Swift like to release albums, singles and tours using favorite numbers, hidden symbols and hints in her other songs. So it fits that section of the internet who love to analyze to death things to find clues. Since she is so prolific there is enough material for her to hide these Easter eggs to generate endless conspiracies about when things are released. Since she does drop hints it makes sense that people love to find them. Its like a puzzle-game mixed with a conspiracy theory mixed with a "viral marketing campaign" all in one. And instead of unraveling the fabric of democracy she release music people like.
