But why are we pretending that Swift is any different? For one thing, she allowed a landmark achievement for female musicians to pale into insignificance against the background of her feud with West. And unlike West, whose overt attention-seeking is played out through social media and other channels, “brand Taylor” repeatedly targets “all the young women out there”, begging them to comply with the star’s apparent feminism – and therefore everything she says.
Blinded by her own white privilege, she infamously failed to recognise that Minaj’s tweets about a lack of recognition of diversity in music videos at the VMAs had absolutely nothing to do with her, and a lot to do with Hollywood’s racial inequality - of which her own “squad” is just one example.
