Exactly what I thought reading the headline. Enough already. Who in blazes cares about her? What's she paying her PR firm for all the publicity? Remember, there is no bad publicity.
It’s a numbers game. Decades ago, I was a cashier. People would buy tabloids with screaming headlines like, “I had Elvis’ Alien baby.” I’d chat with them and get responses like, “The government’s keeping this from us.” Elvis had been dead for some time at that point. Those tabloids sold well. The Taylor Swift crowd is the same audience. That kind of attention is power of sorts.
Imagine a normal distribution curve showing IQ. The high point is 100. Half the population is on the left, meaning less than a hundred. A large percentage of them are Swift fans and they vote.
