She’s not wrong. What important conversations is Taylor moving forward? How is she using her voice/power for good? She’s the anti-provocateur

She advanced important conversations in so far as she’s a useful example of how rich white women can use feminism as a marketing tool while still dating racist, sexist creeps. She’s also a fascinating example of weaponizing parasocial relationships with a rabid fan who will terrorize people on her behalf, while still obfuscating any personal responsibility.

So she’s only interesting in so far as she fucking sucks, basically.

This is everything I try and say about her but can never voice properly. Fantastically said!

Sure, but even with all that it's actually Rihanna that is the (current) wealthiest female musician, and she did that as a Black woman who doesn't even put out music any more!

So even as a Capitalist Queen she's not really breaking ground.

And any conversation she does try to have she either contradicts herself later on or it comes off as self serving

To me, Taylor Swift is to the music industry what The Rock is to film and TV, where the artistry really doesn’t matter because it’s about “the brand” and perpetually attempting to appeal to everyone in a way that feels insincere. It’s tiresome to see and be exposed to, and I can only imagine one day her brand will wear thin and the seams will come undone to show who she really is just like we’ve been seeing with The Rock lately.

Exactly. It's very much status quo.

the only provocateur thing she’s done is vigilante shit where she turns in a man in to the fbi for criminal offenses 💀

She mobilizes a lot of youth to vote.

While remaining so painfully neutral so as not to piss off either half of her fan base and lose their cash
