It's like her team knows JUST the right amount of sexualization her videos/photoshoots need to captivate the male 18-49 demographic while all at the same time not alienating her Disney-like audience.
It's really clever. Definitely way too clever for the middle-aged strongly-worded letter writing white southern moms to figure out & complain about.
It's like they don't see the way these girls are marketed unless it's super overt.
I love it

I disagree. Rihanna has it the best because she has no core genre/ audience set to her so she can easily re-invent herself musically. For ex, if Katy ditches bubblegum/Dr. Luke pop, Gaga or Britney ditches dance-pop, or Beyonce ditches R&B it would disappoint their core audiences but since Rihanna has none she can easily re-invent herself without being accused of selling out. She also has the broadest appeal of any popgirl out now.
