No argument that she's from the wealth & privilege class
But you don't become the biggest pop star ever with a completely healthy upbringing, either, right?
...why not? Pop isn't exactly a reaction like metal, punk or hyperpop, it's just... The default genre of music she could have made?
What unhealthy part of any upbringing would compel someone to make pop?
Anyone that driven was probably abused mentally to some degree at the very least... I know you think you're being "funny" because it's just "pop music". Like being pop means it isn't a horrible cut throat industry that regularly chews up and destroys child stars ...
You know what else regularly grinds up and destroys children?
Poverty.
Which occurs to far more millions of people than whatever tf this princess went through
No, she had the fucken cash to sit around and get the fucken recording equipment and instruments for country songs. That shit ain't cheap, and she started before the home recording revolution. So you know Papa Swift paid for some studio time. Its not abuse at all, its wealth and privilege to pursue what you want.
You’re not wrong on all your points but also jesus christ if you think DIY started after T Swift.
No, but in the 2010s it became much cheaper to record at home than it ever was and we saw countless artists come from that.
I had prosumer home recording equipment back around the turn of the century, and it wasn't anything new.
How expensive was it though? Probably more than the cost of a cheap laptop and a USB mic.
We had cheap laptops and USB microphones back then. I had a set up with digital audio converter, a couple mics going to laptop set up was about $200-$250 w/out laptop and I had a separate boss br-532 8 track recorder I picked up used for like $300. I'm sure if I was more frugal I could've gone a lot cheaper.
From everything ive heard, it seems her parents were super supportive and understanding, from driving her hours away so she could get lessons/coaching, to moving across the country so she could start her career.
Abused mentally could mean not voted home coming queen. Tempest in a teapot can still be a tempest to someone fixated on the teapot.
Sure you could. Why not?
Paul McCartney had, by all accounts, an idyllic childhood
So that's where the Beatles dark sound comes from...
Keep it down, you might interrupt the circle jerk. Don't worry, they will tire soon.
What is the point in ever defending a billionaire for any reason?
Other than the jet thing, does she really have a scandal?

She's a lawful evil devil who seems to be very mean and very manipulative
Aka, a billionaire
So 1 guy.
I’m sorry, I’m gonna need more than that.
Maybe she’s horrible, maybe she wouldn’t sleep with him.
I don’t know, but I’m sure she’s not perfect, and we’ve all been an asshole to someone who didn’t deserve it on a bad day.
Now repeated behavior is a completely different thing
That's not what he's alleging. He's implying that she has a network and team that will destroy people who publicly oppose her
Ah.
No kidding!
I thought people were exaggerating about her fans, goddamn lol
I just don't think anyone has that kind of drive their whole life without deepseated need of some kind to propel them
