Male Gaze
Her image isn’t centered on the male gaze. She has created a space through her music in which the young girl is centered, which isn’t driven by sexuality. This was new, and the fans loved it. Young girls drive pop music, so this really resonated.
Mirror/Reflection
Her music speaks to small, almost unspoken aspects of life for young girls and women. Her fans see themselves in these moments.
Rabbit Hole
By creating clues and Easter eggs for fans to find and follow, it has the effect of being a type of “sacred text,” much like you would find in a religion. This depth can engender a much deeper level of devotion than a typical surface level pop album. Going down the rabbit hole is rewarded.
Authentic Connection
She truly loves her fans, and she takes care of them, which inspires incredible levels of devotion from the fans.
Humanity
She maintains a level of awkward vulnerability in her image, which is impressive given how successful and powerful she has become. She shows her fans that, despite her fame, she has moments where she feels like she’s made missteps, which keeps her feeling approachable.
The Message
The music is very well crafted, and is poetic in a way that feels transcendent.
Experience
Everyone who has attended the Eras tour (10 million plus people) had a type of ritualized, sacred experience. These experiences have a deep psychological meaning for humans, one that isn’t commonly captured in modern life. She shows them the holy, and meets a need that they might not have even known they had.
Dedication
She continues to push her work forward, and to continue to grow as an artist. Taylor works very hard, and never wants to “rest on her laurels.” Swift is showing the same level of commitment to putting on a good show in her final few as she was at the beginning of the tour.
Work Ethic
Surprisingly, fans know how hard she works, and, even when she has a song that is a rare misfire, the fandom knows that she’ll keep reaching for new creative heights, and they’re willing to forgive her when she gets it wrong.
Humanitarian Works
She quietly works to make the places that she goes better, and that she takes good care of her team. It means a lot when we hear that she’s donated to a food bank in every city she’s toured in, or gives life-changing bonuses to those who are helping her.
Gratitude
She’s grateful for everything she has, and she never takes it for granted. That comes through in everything she does.
