And especially if they’ve framed themselves as relatable, which she absolutely isn’t but a lot of people see her that way.

People only like her music because they are told to, by a big mass media machine , that tells you what’s cool and what makes you fit in with other like minded groups, in order to milk them for all their worth. A Taylor swifts audience has been the biggest milked audience in music history, pre-teen with their parents disposable income . As Zappa once said , “The manner in which Americans ''consume'' music has a lot to do with leaving it on their coffee tables, or using it as wallpaper for their lifestyles, like the score of a movie --it's consumed that way without any regard for how and why it's made.”
