Someone’s a little obsessed with Taylor. lol
And some people are clearly butthurt that Taylor is more successful. And no, it’s not Kanye or Ticketmaster (the site crashed because that MANY people wanted to see her live, another testimony to her success) fault (even though some of you are hanging on to that theory for dear life) lol Kanye definitely got her talked about the next morning and a while after that, but that doesn’t give you success. LOL Some of y’all would love to chalk it up to that, but she was already was opening with first week album sales ofmillion plus in the US, and debuting at #1. She was already becoming a huge success. If you really don’t know about someone’s career or trajectory, you really should keep mum, or educate yourself.
We all know why P!nk isn’t talked about like Taylor or Beyoncé, and it’s not due to a poor PR team lmao. Because when something happens in P!nk’s world, like a twitter fight, ashes thrown on stage, inducting Dolly etc it gets talked about. They’re just not interested in her every move like us fans are. It’s not rocket science.
Anyway, before Taylor, people were complaining about Madonna and then Britney. It’s now Taylor’s turn; she won’t be the last. Why are you so worried about P!nk’s success? lol P!nk’s not caring about yours.
Sympathy made Taylor a super star. I can’t. Ariana was already huge, and Rihanna was also, so to say the abuse or bombing made them even more popular is absolutely ridiculous. No one even thinks about those things anymore (in years, in fact), and their stars haven’t faded. Yes, it got media attention, but that doesn’t sell albums, and concert tickets, or make you a streaming monster. You people really do grasp at straws.
I think the OP, while a little overzealous at times, raised a valid point re the machine behind Taylor, and I don't get why you're so touchy about it.
When I said that I blame Kanye, I was being facetious. Next time, I'll be sure to add a little 'lol' after such a thing so as to not be misunderstood...
Also, I stand by my statement that public sympathy towards an artist can have a hugely positive commercial effect at the time of 'it' occurring.
I'm not suggesting that any of those artists' popularity was founded on it but it sure did catapult them into the public consciousness more.
After all, a big part of marketing and PR is about affecting the public's emotions, and there is some publicity that money just cannot buy.
