Haters are gonna hate hate hate hate hate.
Smart cookie undersells it dramatically. Taylor Swift is a marketing and possibly a financial genius who has locked herself into the collective consciousness of the country. I used to try to not listen to her music at all, but my daughter and wife absolutely love her, so it’s all I get to listen to around them. She’s had virtually 0 truly bad press surrounding her. You don’t have to like her music, but you have to respect her ability to sell her image and music.

Actually this is a point of conflict for some of her fans. Some of my friends are swifties and they hate consumerism and high concert prices and collectibles and marketing that incentivize FOMO to spend more money. They jokingly call her their capitalist queen.
I completely agree except for one small thing:
She’s had virtually 0 truly bad press surrounding her.
I’d say her dating a scumbag (the singer from The 1975) generated a fair bit of bad press. But it was usually fans yelling “DUMP THAT SHITHEAD”
Also a bit of bad press surrounding her egregious usage of her private jets
She probably got that from her parents. They made the smart move to buy a farm and legitimize her country status. And I bet it was the parents idea to do country first and than transition to pop. The country genre was an easier market to break into at the time since country fans, back when she was an unknown, were still buying CDs at Walmart and such. So these store would put a larger selection of country music on the shelves than any other genre. Meaning a smaller country artist would get shelve space.
She’s had virtually 0 truly bad press surrounding her
Eh, she literally had an album titled reputation because hers was not so great at the time. This was when people were calling her a snake with the whole Kanye thing.
So, virtually 0 bad press that actually matters, yeah. Good point.
By all means GOP, please pick a fight with Taylor Swift. 🍿🍿
As someone else has said before, Taylor Swift could tweet “Bring me the head of Ron Desantis” and he would be dead in a week.
He fumed in another all-caps post that “THE CHILDLESS, UNMARRIED ABORTION ARMY MOBILIZED BY BARBIE, TAYLOR SWIFT, AND TIKTOK” was “CRUSHING REPUBLICANS AT THE BALLOT BOX.”
You are goddamn right it is.
I am inevitable.
It’s either a very dedicated imposter or the real deal which would mean Margot Robbie is a giant nerd. I choose the latter option but would not be surprised by the former.
Margot Robbie is one of the smartest and savviest women in Hollywood, and is definitely one of the most likely celebrities to be using Lemmy and the Federated internet. She’s also clever enough to hide in plain sight, by using her own name, knowing that others will just assume she’s not the real Margot.
You know that it’s like super creepy to impersonate a celebrity like that. Get a hobby.
Edit: And here I thought Lemmy was different. But nope, thoughtless novelty accounts already being deified. This shit isn’t even clever, it’s just a “hot celebrity’s” name. Wow.
Lazy, uninspired, and just not funny. There’s nothing creative or interesting in making your username “Margot Robbie” and having people fawn all over you. It’s probably a middle aged dude.
I guess I’m the only one who finds that creepy. I imagine Margot herself probably would too.
But go ahead and validate some weird fucking dude cosplaying as a celebrity (who, remember, is a real actual person).
Parasocial weirdos.
People like you don’t make the world better, just more boring for everyone
boring
Yes, nothing sates boredom like *checks notes* seeing a (likely) middle aged man cosplay as a celebrity on lemmy. You know, a real person. Not a character.
Can you people really not see how fucking creepy that is?
How is this shit clever or funny or novel in any way? It’s not even an attempt at parody or satire.
You know that it’s like super creepy to refer to Margot Robie as “just a hot celebrity”?
And hobby? What the hell do you think this is? It isn’t a damn job. Lemmy is recreational. Vanity accounts are fun and appropriate.
The point was that it’s lazy, uninspired and just not funny. I guess the standards for humor/novelty are very low around here.
Like they’re not even creating anything, its not parody or satire or anything. They just made their username Margot Robbie and pretend to be her. Sometimes. And people just fawn over it.
Frankly, if I were her, that kind of shit would seriously weird me out.
Bunch of parasocial weirdos.
conservatives once again upset that more people are voting… because reality has a liberal bias.
Yep, if “more people voting” makes you furious then you just might be reaching the level of mustache-twirling cartoon villainy.
Don’t want to keep losing elections, conservatives? Adopt better policies. Nominate qualified candidates. And for fuck sake kick out the god damn nazis.
I would be interested to hear that they officially adopted any policies at all, it seems to be, “elect more of us so there are more of us so we can continue to try to elect more of us” the last person from the right wing I heard try to push a policy while running for office died 5 years ago
