    Oh Jesus christ, are you really that far gone?

    She’s where she is now largely because of talent and hard work, who cares if her parents were wealthy?

    Get over it.

      Stanning anyone in 2023 is silly. Parasocial relationships aren’t healthy.

      I listen to a lot of music. And I hear musicians that are objectively more talented than her, both instrumentally, and vocally. Not just writing, but producing and performing their own music, yet they do not make millions upon millions of dollars because they didn’t have a rich daddy.

      She cornered a demographic, with technically simple and catchy music, then with the help of her rich parents utilized her nepotism to get her career going.

      She’s the fast food of pop music. I’m sure as an individual she’s okay. But she is NOT where she is today because of her talent alone.

      Her talent is in marketing/making money through music. Artistically, she hasn’t risked going half a millimeter from the mainstream. Were she as talented as her (loud! Jesus, we already know you like her) fans think, she would be creating new forms of art unknown to humanity. She just found a group of people over the internet and a way to influence them to milk them for money with 27 million versions of the same album and merch.

      It doesn’t hurt being ultra WASPy and the daughter of the super well connected, super wealthy vice president of Merrill Lynch who basically harassed other people and companies into giving TS a space.
