I mean she is now one of the most famous people on earth. It's weird cause she has been around since the early 00s. But it just seems her fame really exploded in the last couple of years when she just zoomed past people like Beyonce, Rihanna, Selena Gomez, Bieber, the Rock, etc. Now girls practically worship her like some goddess and she dominates pop culture. While "Swifites' are mostly white women age 12-40, her popularity seems to be exploding in China and Latin America. Swifties are almost a religion.
I just read an article where nearly 20% of Americans say they will vote for whoever Taylor Swift endorses for President. Now that says a lot about how braindead Americans can be, but it shows her crazy power and why policitans fear her and do what she wants.
