Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.

Can someone explain the love for Taylor Swift to me?

I mean...

I know she makes music a lot of people enjoy.

Isn't that enough? I don't see the appeal of K-pop either but I do understand that some folks get way too deep into some rabbit holes.

On a non-musical level she's either very genuine (private jet notwithstanding) or very good at appearing that way.

I don't see how a music star being genuine or not matters. I don't really care what her political or social views are, I care if her music is good or not. What really confuses me is why so many people get so interested in what celebrities have to say.

For policy, I look to politicians and journalists. For science, I look to scientists and academics. And so on. Looking for policy from a pop star is just stupid IMO.
