Taylor's brand of capitalism comes from the marketing of her actual music, which is the most important thing. She also never made statements like Gaga did in 2013-15, so there isn't a big discrepancy.

Gaga's brand of capitalism comes entirely from slapping her name & face on a product (Haus Labs/Oreos/Dom Perignon) and letting herself be used for profit regardless of ethicality (Nurtec), something that 10 years ago she spoke out against, and said brought her shame.

It is easy to throw Taylor in this discussion when the nuance is very different between her and Gaga

Taylor is never once acted high and mighty that she sis some kind of artist who is better than someone who enjoy making money. 

Come on, she literally did ads for Coca Cola, Target and other companies, her capitalism is heavily abusing her own music to sell as much as possible for maximum profit.

I'd rather Gaga sell a make up or migraine pills than abuse her power to make us buy the same album over and over just to get a whole experience.

She's the queen of American capitalism.

People are in favor of Taylor doing it cause it’s all music related.  She’s putting out content her fans actually want.

gaga is doing everything BUT what we actually want lol   Taylor capitalizes on her music. She never is doing non music related business ventures (that we know of)

We just got a song collab with one of the most famous rock bands of all time. We're getting a whole film this year with music. She's working on an album now. 

Can we please be realistic with our expectations? Can we appreciate the things we get? Can we stop acting so spoiled?

y'all love to misuse this line

the whole song is about things coexisting with each other

art and pop

money, companies, labels and the artist

 

ARTPOP is literally about art and capitalism can be friends lol

idk id argue ARTPOP is veers slightly more towards anti capitalism but her ARTPOP could mean anything so its open to interpretation i guess

[weed 71,295]

I don't really understand the reaction. Y'all reference ARTPOP but the POP represents mass produced, commercialism, products. Seems like the same sentiment to me.

That's not true though  "Music not the bling" is a pretty blatant lyric, and so is a song like Jewels N Drugs ("don't want your money, want your love").

She did romanticize celebrity culture (in a cheeky sort of McBling way, just like The Fame era), but it wasn't meant to be taken seriously. This was the same era where the industry was failing her, she considered quitting music, and she infamously yelled "**** you pop music, this is ARTPOP" at SXSW

Just so sick to death how the stans circle her like sharks and innocuous comments like this are like blood in the water

Y'all wanna be mad that she does anything but music when she's consistently given musical products nearly ever year since her debut

You also wanna be mad when she has a side hustle she's passionate about and uses herself, even when she maintains integrity in that brand

Make it make sense

She could very well hire a team of writers to write her songs, a team of producers to produce them, show up on the studio for a few takes, and go home knowing it'll be eaten up.

She could outsource the work on Haus Labs to some soulless CEO and stil make millions

She could ditch everything and focus on acting, do half the work, make more money, and stop touring all together

But she doesn't. She remains a hard working, honest, and genuine human but y'all STILL take the piss out of her lmao

Get bent tbh

( Sorry I'm quote in you , but it's not a direct response to you) . I just wanted to know when everyone in this fandom gets that Gaga isn't just music these days, cause  it's just getting a bit weird.... everyone knows she is in to acting projects ( a lot more ), everyone knows she is making her makeup brand bigger, everyone knows she continues to make music...I just don't get the outrage. I get that some don't like her business or probably acting... But people must learn to wait for her music when it comes if that, is all they want.

Breaking news: International business woman does business

She's speaking at a summit for her cosmetology venture, why do you people think she'll get up there and be all "music not the bling yasss free enterprise and self esteem tonight I will return the fame and riches earned with you I'd watch them all be burned!"

It's a business meeting

About business

In a capitalist society

She's saying creativity, passion, and integrity should be present in the Haus Labs brand instead of her brand doing what millions of others do - pushing crap products for ridiculous prices knowing people will buy it anyway

How can you be mad at that

Because it has been going on repeatedly now, for a very long time. To the point that her social media feels like an advertising page. People have had enough. She jumped the shark years ago in terms of that magical connection we had with her in the early years, now she feels like your average hollywood elitist, hawking products.
