My tween somehow has zero interest in Taylor Swift, but is absolutely freaking obsessed with Olivia Rodrigo (who it turns out is a pretty fantastic singer and songwriter).

My overall ‘I couldn’t give 2 shits I shit out 4 years ago’ take is this is an exercise in hype creating hype. Put out the idea this person is a huge star and getting all this acclaim, whether they are or not, and people start asking “Why? What’s so good about her? Let me see for myself” and all those people who never gave a fuck about Taylor Swift are suddenly lookin up her vids on YouTube or digging for articles, which the hype machine then uses as figures to display “success”

Media has conspired to create "stars" before. History don't lie. It's not an outlandish thought to ponder.
