People still care about the oscars?

Armond White is the only critic you need

British director Sam Wrench — a rock-video pro, having done concert films for Billie Eilish, Luke Bryan, Lizzo, and The Weeknd — transcribes the 20-city Eras tour. But he’s no Leni Riefenstahl able to turn the event into an impressive aesthetic spectacle (even though he collapses favorite angles from three shows at the Los Angeles SoFi Arena). The Eras Tour is not even as impressive as U2 3D, a superior follow-up to the group’s Rattle and Hum, Laurie Anderson’s Home of the Brave, or Jonathan Demme’s Talking Heads film Stop Making Sense. Even racist Spike Lee called the latter “the greatest concert movie ever made,” meaning better than Richard Pryor Live in Concert and Prince’s Sign o’ the Times. That’s how easily Millennial hype forces consensus.

It’s tragic that the media perpetuate Swift’s insensitivity and tastelessness. Parents should be concerned about Swift grooming their kids into cynicism and selfishness. The teens in TikTok clips who pitifully bounce and sing along with the film’s pre-recorded concert are the flip side of those nerds and sociopaths who lined up for The Dark Knight Rises in Aurora, Colo. Boomer parents may want to let them have their fun — same as toying with matches and playing in the traffic. But here’s a frightening fact of the Swifties pheenom: These kids seem ready for a leader, anxious for totalitarianism. It will take a counterrevolution to repair Swift’s moral, aesthetic, and political damage.

Yeah

It is true that Taylor Swift is worshipped like a goddess but that also comes down to female psychology.
LEGO did extensive research on this. When boys play with Batman figures they play as if they are Batman, basically reenacting the movies or comics but they don't consider themselves to be Batman. When girls play with Batman figures they make him sip tea or dress him up. because they play as if they are Batman. Thus they created the 'LEGO Friends' line, so girls could play as their 'own family'. The same reason why games like The Sims and Animal Crossing are popular with women and RPG's in general.

When they see Taylor Swift casually dating, they don't see Swift dating, they see themselves dating. When they hear Swift singing, they don't see Swift singing they see themselves singing. That's why those cinema nights of the Era Tour turned into sing-a-longs. All of the Swifties consider themselves to be Taylor Swift and they will do anything Taylor Swift does. And thus women are suddenly interested in the NHL. 

There is a theory among culture warriors that Taylor Swift will get married and knocked up in the not so distant future considering her age which will result in both a baby boom and an explosion of depressions and suicides among ran through millenial Swifties who can no longer have kids and be like Swift.
