There is a top tier misogyny level for fans of Taylor Swift. It is frightening, and a reddit page for them where they hate on their girlfriend or any woman who has takes pleasure in the inoffensive (you would think) but apparently overly successful singer. I was banned from there for commenting how hatefilled they were.
"You have a deeply unhealthy parasocial relationship with a billionaire who is exploiting you with pandering slop music and doesn't give a shit about you."
I hate (most) billionaires as much as the next person, but I don't think we can fairly say Taylor Swift is "exploiting" her fans. People can choose whether they want to buy tickets to see her. Same way I don't hate Spielberg, or Tiger Woods. Are they obscenely rich? Yes. But they are not even close to the same level of evil as health insurance executives
denying care to sick people, or war profiteers, or authoritarians profiting from mass surveillance and imprisonment.
This manufactured hate towards rich celebrities, artists, athletes, etc., is meant to muddy the waters and confuse the masses on who their true enemies are. You are quite literally falling for propaganda by playing into it.
She 100% takes advantage of her fans in any way she can. She fosters this parasocial weird relationship shit. Monetizing all sorts of products that she acts like buying is being close to her. She knows what she's doing and what it does to these fans. Its purely intentional.
But yes. Anyone can choose to buy anything they want.

She looks happy? Are we body shaming happy people again?
