LilyLark 10,098 Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 I'm actually not down with how GGD tears into female artists sometimes (including Gaga, ironically enough), even though I'm not a Taylor fan. So I dislike saying this....but honestly you're right. The para-social relationship she's cultivated with her fans is out of control. A lot of stars did this back in the day, including Gaga and Bey, but never to the extent that Tay did and most have taken a big step back from it.' And ultimately I wonder if it's worth it for her...she sells more than anyone else but the minute she steps off that impossible pedestal they've elevated her on it's going to be ugly. She's intertwined the personal with her professional life so much that it also brings her way more tabloid scrutiny. It's why I thought Evermore and Folklore were better, as they weren't made up mostly of confessional songs. Anyway, rant over lol. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think for Gaga it really just comes down to this and that she’s never hid from her struggles or flaws. Also, Gaga has been a legit activist since day one Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

4th Time Around 4,502 Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 I don't really see how its Taylor's fault that some of her fans are deluded and worship her like a god. She just writes songs and has cultivated an intense following for one reason or another. Would you care to provide some examples of how exactly Taylor is feeding into the creation of a cult around herself?

DavidLuis198 1,146 Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 yeah, that's reaaaaaally creepy, but also, what's subversive about Taylor's music? I don't know how to write in english Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
