Taylor Swift has cultivated a cult

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.

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

She’s created this space around her work with everything being an easter egg that her fans think everything step she takes is intentional with meaning to the point where they are justifying her actions and treating her like a god. This woman sees everything about her on the internet and she has no problem liking and commenting on Tiktoks of her fans obsessing over her. She feeds the bait that keeps them coming

Eh, I mean, I don't really think that means she's responsible for this woman's delusions. 

We have forgotten our public MANNERS

Well, wouldn't it be the fans' fault if they fell for it? I mean, Taylor's always been doing that just for fun, not in an evil way like you seem to think.

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?

Hey, I'm king of the world, you ought to hear my song, you come on measure me, I'm twenty inches long

I don't know how to write in english
