Is the Taylor Swift Phenomena an Example of Overt Fascism?

[Anti-Trump Truth Socialite JD Vance Enjoying Juror]

Taylor's personal politics as stated are just milquetoast liberalism, but her persona, imagery, and the structure of her cultivated cult of personality are classic settler fascism, overtly so. I think this applies to the big record label pop industry as a whole to some extent but this particular Aryan more obviously than the rest.

The demography of a Taylor Swift concert is the closest thing you'll get to an American Nuremberg in this century.

It's an example of really good marketing. There's a lot of gaslighting too with the sudden "Taylor Swift is the most important person ever" talk that her fans are pushing onto us.

Woke BS

What a question! Where are any of us, really?

Don't we already know who Snowstalker's favorite artist in music is?

The idea of the fandom of a non-fascist white female singer being fascist is nonsense.
These type of fandoms can annoy people, but its not that different from BTS Army.
In the other hand, she used to have conservative vibes before fully embracing moderate democrat social liberalism.

Isn't Snowstalker a major fan of Kanye West?

[Alben Barkley]

I voted yes for the lulz, but obviously the idea from Snowstalker is a pretentious joke. If using big, over-the-top symbols and imagery and performing before large adoring crowds and having a "cult of personality" of fandom makes you a fascist, practically every mega-celebrity has been a fascist. Not the least of which were Michael Jackson and The Beatles (more on the latter below). The reality is that while there may be aesthetic similarities between big stadium concerts and fascist rallies if you squint, there is obviously a big difference between stirring up a crowd to believe hateful ideas and commit violence and simply performing music.

As for The Beatles, John Lennon DID see a similarity of sorts between idolizing a rock/pop act and idolizing a politician/dictator. That's obvious from his solo song "God," which includes the lines "I don't believe in Hitler" AND "I don't believe in Beatles." But he's not saying they're the same thing, he's just saying that people should believe in themselves rather than try to find fulfillment and meaning in some external idol. That's where the similarities begin and end, and Taylor Swift is obviously no different. Also her being a blonde white woman with blue eyes doesn't mean anything either; ironically it was 4chan fascists who first tried to argue what Snowstalker is arguing, claiming she was one of their own based on little but her physical appearance. Then they viciously turned on her following her coming out as a liberal Democrat in 2018.

I always thought Jason Aldean seemed much more fascist given he glorified a courthouse where a Black man was lynched a century ago.

Voted yes for the memes. But we all know the only authentically fascist major recording artist is Serbian Tupac.
