Could you clarify?
this might be kind of long because there’s a lot of elements to this but like the tldr; version is very much that if you’ve been a fan of her even pre 2020 everything was very different and these past few years it feels like finally people do recognise generally how great she is (ignoring like the haters are always gonna be there). but it’s come at this huge cost where she is more than just a person she is this huge concept that people look to and expect to solve problems and she’s become a cultural phenomenon - which don’t get me wrong to an extent is amazing and genuinely obviously there’s some element of her choice to that. however, like, seeing the way she’s being used in the election campaign and other recent events it feels like people know now how much weight her name has and they are using that and disrespecting what the core of taylor has always been which is she’s just a song writer who loves her job. and somehow despite all of this popularity and fame it’s never her music or generosity or integrity that’s the headline it’s politicians using her for personal gain or just the most inhumane takes on her character and I just don’t see how things are now, the way people treat her, as being worth it all if you knew her ten years ago, fifteen years ago as an artist we’ve lost so much of our own fan culture and our connection with her we cannot get back and I also just think as a human being it’s hard to watch someone you care about and are a fan of knowing how dehumanised they are on a daily basis even if it comes with people finally recognising how great she is it’s just very bittersweet
