LOTF Posted September 28, 2023 Posted September 28, 2023 It isn't. It's just that social media is here to make us (unnecessarily) more aware of it
Katy.Kat.23 Posted September 28, 2023 Posted September 28, 2023 it's kind of giving Anti-Christ tbh, but I went to the Eras tour twice. I'm definitely on the list of apocolypse survivors!

Trent W Posted September 28, 2023 Posted September 28, 2023 Yes, but she handles it well She’s at her peak of fame, success and celeb I do think she think needs to triple her security team Some fans were giving Yolanda Saldivar vibes when she was dating Matty, she has some cult fans that are really really scary She also has haters but her cult extreme fans online are more scary ngl 6

Knowing that every where you go Taylor will be there. Turn on the radio? Taylor is on. Go shopping? Taylor is playing. Go on social media? Taylor is there too. You guys need to step outside your bubble. Everything is run by algorithms. I have a personal twitter account and a fandom one, in my fandom one I follow some hybrid stans (Harry+Taylor) so I'm fed a bunch of stuff about her in my for you TL but in my personal account I have not seen a single tweet about her in months. I'm not on Swiftie TikTok and I don't have her on my explore page on instagram. It's extremely easy to ignore everything about her. I find out what she's doing more because of ATRL than anything else. Seeing stuff about Taylor doesn't bother me, but I could completely tune her out at the drop of a hat. Monoculture is dead, pop culture is fragmented. It's why I don't think she'll ever be overexposed again. That said, she's obviously extremely famous, but I wouldn't say it's concerning. The only part that could turn into concerning is the mobs, everything else is... abormally normal. The tweets in the OP are just memes, like that photo of Selena with the blanket. As long as she keeps security with herself and her fans behave she's gonna be okay. I don't think this is any worse than 1989 era, she actually seems a lot more mentally stable now than back then, she's probably matured. 4

It's more concerning for the people who want her to fail because she's going nowhere this. at least she has people around her she can trust unlike Britney`s case. When you have a strong support from people around you, you can navigate your fame better And she seems to embrace the her fame lately rather than run away from it. Just hope that she can do normal things here and there and enjoy her life. As a fan, i just want her to be happy.
DamianSolo Posted September 28, 2023 Posted September 28, 2023 Eh, In the sense of people not paying any mind to things that actually matter, sure, but not in and of itself.
bjorn Posted September 28, 2023 Posted September 28, 2023 And October hasn’t even arrived yet. I fear for other stanbases

MusicLoverDude Posted September 28, 2023 Posted September 28, 2023 Only in the sense that I don't want her to go through the pain that Britney went through. It's really gotten to that level of publicity I think. But Taylor has a strong support system around her and a much stronger mindset. 1

For her sake I do hope people forgets a little bit about her in the election cycle In 2016 she was a hot topic in pop culture but people wanted to paint her like a Trump supporter and white supremacist, all the comments were done with malice and it was post “snake gate” so people hated on her a lot. She’s in a positive light right now, but people can turn on her again because of the overexposure

The music (minus Midnights and Lover) is a 9/10. Her psycho fans in real life who treat her like she’s their “guiding light” are beyond deranged

They belong to a mental institution The swifites in this site are surprisingly balanced compared to the other ones in social media

Taylor fanboy Posted September 28, 2023 Posted September 28, 2023 As long as she’s paying her taxes right, I’m good. The government needs to regulate the Non-Taylor’s Versions though.
dumbsparce Posted September 28, 2023 Posted September 28, 2023 6 hours ago, =NEX= said: Extreme level of fame actually brought a lot of pain and misery to those who got to experience it and ruined them in the process: think Elvis, MJ, Britney etc Not comparable. Taylor is chased down for being the golden child as she mostly garners positive press for being successful along with the occasional and unimportant boyfriend "scandal". The people you mention were getting hunted simply for existing.
Credit Posted September 28, 2023 Posted September 28, 2023 i mean, yeah. it's not always fun since people like john lennon have been assassinated because of their popularity
Gorjesspazze9 Posted September 28, 2023 Posted September 28, 2023 Nah, she is just overexposed. She put out 8x the amount of content mixed with new mediaplay every week. From dating Matt Healy to that football player, to a IMAX movie, to 2 re-release album, a new full album, Ice Spice single, Era’s tour, ect. And that’s all just in the last 12 months. Lmfao

Obviously, I wouldn't like to jinx it, but I think overexposure isn't as much of a thing these days due to the reasons you mentioned. Hopefully, unlike the 1989 era, the hype will wind down organically as people move on to the next big MPG and not with, well, 2016 v2. And I know you aren't a fan of Taylor so it's nice to see an anecdote from the "other side" (no offence intended)

midnightdawn Posted September 28, 2023 Posted September 28, 2023 Not really, she seems to be feeding it and inviting as much coverage as possible.
Cain Posted September 28, 2023 Posted September 28, 2023 Not really, I have no clue what this ranch thing is about. I think most people that aren’t into popculture (which is 99% of the world) know how she is obviously but aren’t obsessed with her to that level
AvadaKedavra Posted September 28, 2023 Posted September 28, 2023 Yes worrisome. The number of stalkers with the intention of killing her is goin up. The scrutiny of every moment. The way her fanbase feels highly entitled. Once she takes a break theyre gonna be mad She lives in a golden cage. Imagino not being able to go anywhere in the planet without gettin mobbed. Not able to go out by yourself
