Celeb News: Taylor is Queen Bee, Britney Damaged, Lorde a Witch

Quote:

Hearing Taylor Swift think out loud about how to spin the story, to me, is more damaging than learning that Taylor Swift lied about Kanye West," Vox’s Alex Abad-Santos writes. "Kim Kardashian’s Snapchat video … confirms that underneath the thick coating of bubblegum pop known as Taylor Swift, there’s a shrewd, savvy woman who puts a lot of effort into shaping and maintaining her public image."

That’s one of the nicer versions of that sentiment. The less nice version is that with this video, Kardashian has revealed Swift as a fake. "She was so conniving," writes Sublime Zoo of Swift. "She reminded us of every (wannabe) bland ass mean girl in high school with her fake ass posse, her fake ass smile, and her fake ass feminism that she learned from her [should be] molester BFF Lena Dunham." (Not my brackets.)

Of course she is. She’s a pop star, with a meticulously tended and managed image. You don’t get to be Taylor Swift levels of famous without developing a persona that an audience is willing to spend money on, and you don’t develop that persona without getting at least a little bit fake.

Because a pop star’s job is not just to be a musician. It is to create a persona that people respond to, that sparks some universal response in an audience. Britney Spears was the damaged girl next door. Beyoncé is effortlessly perfect. Lorde is the weird witchy teen. Swift is the All-American queen bee.

Probably when people will stop seeing one sentence about her in four paragraph article as a key information

opruh

Legend Taylor is so controversial, truly the Queen of Pop. She has the acclaim, the sales, the money, the power, the controversies, poor the other girls can only dream.

Never because thankfully she set herself up to become a legend instead of focusing on chasing trends. Even when her cultural relevance starts to wane she'll be massively respected.

anyway, this article isn't really praising any of them so the point is moot. it's more of a half hearted defense of taylor.

Enough with the idolization of Beyonce. That woman literally performs strip tease to her husband on live TV ang gets applauded by that like she's some God on Earth. If anything, Beyonce is the most manages persona in the industry. Taylor IS DEFINITELY managed but it's all by HERSELF. That should be applauded instead of being painted as some mean girl from highschool who wants to be better than everyone. She works hard, works smart and knows how to keep a business running. Of couse everyone will come for her tryng to pick her apart. People are intimidated and jealous of her. Everyone feels she's got it all and it's unfair. Guess what, life's unfair. You better pick your best deal with the card you got and Taylor is doing that. Whether the victim card (which honestly holds up since everyone is bullying her) or the feminist card Taylor will do what she needs to do and what feels right to her as a persona. If Kim/Kanye can't deal with that kind of determination (which clearly they can't) they should just let her go and accept they are not the same people. What they did was even more calculated, petty and bitter than anything Taylor has ever done, written or said about another famous persona. Even Bad Blood was harmless compared to this. It was just a song about a feud without naming names or calling names. Just her side of the story. It was fun, competitive and controversial but it was never harming to Katy Perry. What Kim and Kanye did was made EXCLUSIVELY to hurt her as bad as possible. That is DISGUSTING.
