Watching these clips of her and Kelce, and I don’t get it.


She looks awkward as hell. The bangs. Plain as can be. Lacks any ounce of sexuality.


I don’t get it at all.

Oh this thread again.

Look, paw-paw, just accept that not everything in popular culture is meant for, or otherwise needs the acceptance of, old white guys like you.

She is the most famous pop star on earth and is set to make a billion dollars (not an exaggeration) from her current tour.

I hope that helps.

Have you never been around a teenage girl? She caters to that crowd and it’s a pretty big market.

ETA and her net worth is probably more than you entire family.

Agreed, not even a little.

But never underestimate the power of celebrity on weak minds and men who will do anything to see a nipple.

Kids and young women. Kids for the pop star. Young women because they think she is some kind of role model...artistic, "strong and needs no man", independent and rich.

What liberal women aspire to be.

How old are you? There are contemporary pop stars of your adolescence/teen years, I reckon.

In my lifetime (1983-Present)...

New Kids on the Block
Madonna
Whitney
Mariah
Mary J Blige
NSync
Backstreet Boys
Lady Gaga

that's off the top of my head without thinking

I think it’s mostly 12 year old girls and their moms infatuated with her

I get not thinking she’s a bombshell, but do you really look at Taylor Swift and think she’s unattractive? I just can’t understand that mindset.

The infatuation is with her character and personality. She sings pop songs and is basically a thriving reality TV star. She exudes the celebrity lifestyle but maintains a down-to-earth persona.

I think an economic element to consider is that she started very young, which has given her more time in the youth’s spotlight. She wouldn’t be as popular at 43, but she’s only 33 with almost 20 years of building her fanbase.

Talented, funny, and cool person to be around. What is so hard for you old, perverts to understand?

She’s a very successful singer/songwriter who managed to not only corner the market on teen girls 15 years ago, but did the near-impossible task of keep those fans as they aged while continuously cycling in more young fans. As a result, she’s one of the best-selling popular music artists of all time, routinely selling out NFL stadiums multiple nights/week in the same city while on tour.

As for looks, she’s nothing special. She’s a tall, lanky, mousy looking woman, but years of fame and professional makeup have helped her look pretty good. She’s no prime Marissa Miller, but she isn’t lizzo either. She’s just an attractive 30-something pop star with hundreds of millions of dollars in the bank. I think we can all agree, she’s a catch even if she’s no OT 8+

This comment I read a while back

quote:

I haven't been able to stand that overrated woman-child since the early 2010s. Basically, the minute she stopped being a Country singer, she outed herself as being a *supremely* unlikeable narcissistic airhead.

One song, she's wallowing in Junior High level relationship drama. The next, she's wailing and carrying on because some "Chad" player used her as a human flesh-light. The next after that, she's singing about how great it is hooking up with random Chad players at the club. The next after that, she's singing about how great and special it is that Chad uses her as a booty call every now and then.

And when that got stale, she moved on to "empowerment" porn against her "haters." Then it was, cringey, pissy girl fight drama, and then vapid political virtue signaling. And on, and on, and on, and on... so it goes.

You can argue she's just pandering to her audience, I suppose. But I don't think that makes it better. That actually makes it worse.

She's become like a walking, talking, parody personification of absolutely everything wrong with Upper Middle Class Millennial American White Women... Almost their "id," even. All she's missing is the overt "50 Shades" kink.

Completely disagree…

Or maybe it’s the few hundred million dollars blinding me

She is with her brand new boyfriend's mom/family and you want her exuding sex?
