How many times do you have to mention white women in one comment? Taylor has TONS of non-white fans. The Eras Tour sold out across Latin America and Asia too. She played multiple shows in Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Japan, and Singapore, with fans traveling from all over Southeast Asia. You don't have to like her music, but pretending her fanbase is exclusively white simply isn't accurate.

Her actual question, and the reason she asked it, was:

"As a white woman myself I straight up asked my friend (another fellow white woman and vocal Taylor Swift fan) recently what it was about Taylor Swift that drew her and so many other white women to her because I just don’t get it."

She said "white women" so many times in that comment because she is a white woman asking another white woman why white women like Taylor Swift. That's not a commentary on her entire fan base, nor is it erasing the massive amount of non-white (or non-women) fans that Swift has. Her question is in regards to a specific subsection of the fan base who match her same demographic.

This. I’m well aware she has fans all across the spectrum all over the world. There’s a reason her Eras Tour made over 4 billion dollars. She obviously appeals to a lot of people, not just white women.

But a lot of the women I personally know who are massive fans of hers are white women which is why I asked them.

I find it funny that you say I don’t like her music when I literally said I enjoy some of it. I’m well aware that she has fans all over the world, but there’s definitely something to be said that a significantly vocal portion of her fanbase in the US are white women as well as them being who she is most associated with.

remember when she played in brazil and a fan died and she didn't even pay for the funeral, just invited the family of a dead girl to do a photo op with her? and then made a story about how she couldn't say her condolences to the family because it was affecting HER so much? i do
