    …why not? Pop isn’t exactly a reaction like metal, punk or hyperpop, it’s just… The default genre of music she could have made?

    What unhealthy part of any upbringing would compel someone to make pop?

      Anyone that driven was probably abused mentally to some degree at the very least… I know you think you’re being “funny” because it’s just “pop music”. Like being pop means it isn’t a horrible cut throat industry that regularly chews up and destroys child stars …

        No, she had the fucken cash to sit around and get the fucken recording equipment and instruments for country songs. That shit ain’t cheap, and she started before the home recording revolution. So you know Papa Swift paid for some studio time. Its not abuse at all, its wealth and privilege to pursue what you want.

          You’re not wrong on all your points but also jesus christ if you think DIY started after T Swift.

            No, but in the 2010s it became much cheaper to record at home than it ever was and we saw countless artists come from that.

        From everything ive heard, it seems her parents were super supportive and understanding, from driving her hours away so she could get lessons/coaching, to moving across the country so she could start her career.

        You know what else regularly grinds up and destroys children?

        Poverty.

        Which occurs to far more millions of people than whatever tf this princess went through
