Have We Reached Peak Taylor Swift? The Psychology Behind When Someone Becomes Overexposed.
Is Taylor Swift about to be in her 'overexposed' era?
Tumblr media
Midway through the Eras Tour, Taylor Swift is everywhere.
The ongoing tour ― Swift is scheduled to resume the international leg in November ― and the subsequent concert film are certifiable cultural events that have actually boosted regional economies. (In Los Angeles, for instance, where Swift performed six shows, the California Center for Jobs and the Economy predicted a $320 million boost to the county. No wonder Canada’s prime minister Justin Trudeau practically begged the Grammy winner to visit up north.)
She’s even bolstering the NFL’s viewership: Since the “Cruel Summer”
singer started attending her boyfriend Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs games, the league has seen some Super Bowl-level numbers thanks to all the Swifties tuning in.
Meanwhile, the media coverage is breathless. While daytime talk show hosts ask Kelce’s mom about Swift, there’s play-by-play of the couple’s dates around the web: “They were in a rounded booth sitting super close to each other in deep convo the whole time,” a diner at the Waverly Inn in Greenwich, where Swift and Kelce dined on Sunday, told The Messenger. “It looked super romantic and was super intimate.”
Tumblr media
But given Swift’s cultural dominance ― and NFL fans booing an ad for her concert doc early this month ― even her fans are a little worried that Taylor fatigue might soon set in. Is Swift due for another “overexposed” era?
“Kinda overwhelmed by how close Taylor is to overexposure,” one fan tweeted on X.
“You either die the hero or live long enough to admit that you have Taylor Swift fatigue,” another wrote on the site.
On the main Swift subreddit, fans debate if Swift will eventually go back into pop star hibernation like she did after her “1989” album.
Indeed, this isn’t Swift’s first go-around with overexposure. The success of “1989” in 2014 was followed by a heightened interest in Swift’s personal life: her famous friends (or her “squad”), her ill-fated romance with Tom Hiddleston, her drama with Kanye West and Kim Kardashian. In response, Swift made a “conscious choice to disappear” and opt for a more “lowkey” life, a source close to the singer told People at the time.
Her rollout of her next album, 2017’s “Reputation,” was relatively quiet. (“There will be no further explanation. There will just be reputation,” Swift remarked on Instagram.)
Swift seems to pay close attention to her fandom and cultivate those parasocial relationships, said Lynn Zubernis, a psychologist and professor at West Chester University who researches fan psychology.
“Who knows, she might consider withdrawing from the spotlight again at some point,” Zubernis told HuffPost.
The professor likened the “Anti-Hero” singer’s ubiquity right now to Barney in the ’90s. Parents loved the purple dinosaur initially (no one kept their kids as entertained), but that love soured by the 104th listen of the “I love you, you love me” theme song.
“Familiarity is part of what drives fandom — we’re wired to attach to familiar faces, whether they’re offline or on our screens — but there’s a limit to how much repetition we can tolerate,” Zubernis said. “Too many instances of someone popping up and behaving the same way or saying the same thing can start to grate.”
Tumblr media
The overexposure is sometimes exacerbated by the celebrity being perceived as “trying too hard” or being inauthentic, Zubernis said: Miley Cyrus, Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears, even Lady Gaga come to mind, she said.
“At first their ‘antics’ were popular, but people soon grew tired and cynical about them,” she said. “Justin Bieber, James Franco, Shai LaBeouf and Kanye West fall into that category too, and all have been on lists of ‘celebrities we’re tired of’ as a result.”
There’s also a common trajectory that fandom tends to take: Fans love to root for their favorite celebrity ― or sports team or TV series ― because of that vicarious sense of success they gain, but there’s also a cost to that success and visibility, Zubernis said. Some fans jump ship.
“Fans also relish feeling ‘special’ and seeing their fandom as exclusive ― as in, we are the only ones who see how truly special this person is and appreciate her,” the professor said.
“Once someone like Swift becomes beloved by everyone, even ‘normies,’ the fandom doesn’t feel as exclusive anymore,” she added. (Think how in high school, you used to say, “Yeah, I liked that band when they were still underground.”)
Jaye L. Derrick, an associate professor of psychology who studies parasocial relationships at the University of Houston, has a different take: She thinks that most of the people complaining about Swift were never fans to begin with.
“She has a very large following, but no celebrity can make 100% of the population like them,” Derrick told HuffPost.
“As Taylor Swift is shown to new markets, she is meeting some pushback from people who may have been aware of her before but never sought her out,” she said. “I suspect that most of the negative exposure is from people who had maybe consciously avoided her before and are not able to avoid her anymore.”
Tracy Gleason, the chair and professor of psychology at Wellesley College and an author of a paper on parasocial relationships, agrees with Derrick. The fans at the Giants game who booed her ad, for instance, might have done so because she’s dating a player on a rival team.
Tumblr media
“Another possible explanation for the football game is that people who are fans of football, some of whom are likely women, are not necessarily fans of Taylor Swift,” Gleason told HuffPost. “Seeing Taylor get more attention than the game itself might have felt distracting and annoying.”
“Who knows, though,” she added. “Maybe they are Swifties but just want to keep each of the things they enjoy in their own lane: Taylor belongs on the stage and football belongs in the arena.”
Is misogyny at play when we deem someone “overexposed”?
When it comes to conversations about fame, some have pointed out that it tends to be women that get the whiplash “love-hate” treatment: They’re celebrated at first, then they’re deemed overexposed, like Anne Hathaway or Jennifer Lawrence were after their respective Oscar campaigns.
For the most part, men have more room to navigate fame: There’s a double-standard for the type of behavior that is considered appropriate for men versus for women, Derrick said.
For starters, men are expected to express their agency, so they are allowed to promote their projects.
“For women, it is harder to engage in agentic behavior without people viewing them as too in-your-face,” Derrick said. “In American society, we traditionally expect women to be more communal and less agentic.” (Swift addresses this complicated bind for women in the song “The Man” from 2019 album “Lover.”)
The professor thinks these women would probably get a pass if they were “trying too hard” to promote something communal, like a charity, but over-promoting yourself is a cardinal sin in celebritydom if you’re a woman.
Tumblr media
With male examples of overexposure, it usually results from some publicly frowned-upon behavior: Bieber was a notoriously bratty teen (which is hardly a crime, of course, but his reputation persists), West was accused of antisemitism, Franco and LaBeouf were both accused of sexual misconduct, and Elon Musk has been accused of not only damaging Twitter (or as he’s rebranded, X) but threatening democracy itself.
Women celebrities are shamed for bad behavior, too, of course, but also for deviating from social expectations, Zubernis said.
“The culture still isn’t all that comfortable with women being very visible or powerful or successful in some way; that idea is vaguely threatening to the status quo,” she said. “I think that would apply to Swift, Hathaway and Lawrence.”
If you were a fan of any of those women to begin with, though, you probably stuck by them through and through. Fandoms tend to be ride or die until something truly cancellable happens.
“There are times when fans will turn on a celebrity, but those are usually cases where the celebrity did something out-of-character that led people to become disillusioned with their brand,” Derrick said.
In other words, when it comes to these “overexposed” claims ― or criticism from non-fans who wish Swift would take a sabbatical ― Swifties worldwide are probably just going to “shake it off.”
ts1989fanatic:
So Michael Jackson in his prime was everywhere and until he went off the deep end was beloved by fans and none fans worldwide. But Taylor Swift who has in my opinion reached MJ status is over exposed, you know this was not really a thing until she started dating Travis Kelce.
So to answer the question posed above
Is misogyny at play when we deem someone “overexposed”?
In the case of Taylor Swift damn straight misogyny is at play, all these talking heads and college professors and the rest of the media jackals and TS haters need to just FUCK THE HELL OFF.

It's like. Rap has a lot of homophobia. And rap is a genre that's mostly black people, mostly influenced by black culture, and there's a lot of history and nuance and delicacy about homophobia in black communities that's hard to unravel. But the bottom line is that rap (and r&b by extension), has a lot of homophobia in it. And it's hard to be black and queer. You end up feeling shunned either way.
One of the first notable cases of rappers calling it out was Kanye West in 2005. And it meant a lot to a lot of queer kids who loved hip hop, especially black ones.
And Frank Ocean coming out, even if I wasn't there for it at the time, meant even more. The guy who made a classic album like Channel Orange was bisexual. He was black and his first love was a man and when you go back and listen to Bad Religion it all just clicks together a little bit more. He says his coming out word doc was hard to write in 2011 but only posted it in 2012 months later. Because it's so hard.
And it wasn't just Frank Ocean either. After years of edgy lyrics and shock factor and some slight undertones at something else, Tyler the Creator released Flower Boy and it was so. Vulnerable. His albums had always had some level of vulnerability to them but this was different. On Where This Flower Blooms... he says "tell these black kids they can be who they are" and I wish I was joking about the level of emotion I felt when hearing it for the first time. As a black kid, you often feel so constricted by the expectation that you should act black, God forbid you get called an oreo or a coconut. And after that, he kept being openly bi on his following albums and he's so casual about it that it just feels. Good. To see. That it's normal.
Lil Nas X is so bold. He was so brave and so bold and I smiled to myself every time my parents complained. And I admired it so much. It was very very cathartic. I wish he wasn't attacked so much by his own communities, and while his clapbacks are fun and tongue in cheek, it makes me sad they even had to be made. But it still feels so good seeing him do his thing, happily.
And it just keeps on happening, Steve Lacy, Kevin Abstract, Syd, even more that I cannot think of rn and I'm so happy that it's like that now. More rappers and r&b singers come out, some in casual ways, others in not, but they all keep coming back to how hard it is to be black and queer, like they're two identities that are inherently compatible when they really shouldn't be. But it's getting better, even if it's slow. And it feels so good to feel represented by the music I listen to as a black kid. Argh. Rap is built on rebellion and the queerness fits into it just right, I think.

people are really already forgetting the cultural context of reputation? like there are people out there who don’t know it was her big comeback after kim and kanye tried to destroy her career with accusations that turned out to be faked? people don’t know I Did Something Bad is about her sexual assault and the trial that went with it? yall don’t know look what you made me do was about reclaiming her image and being like “if you want me to to be the villain so badly, i will be”? you don’t remember her saying she didn’t endorse hillary or bernie in 2016 because she was afraid having her name attached to them would damage their campaign? you don’t remember the Miss Americana doc? yall really don’t remember any of this?

What's everything that has happened this year with Taylor? I'm out of the loop.
matty healy, her dating life overriding her music and her career and her feeding into it, her continued silence on genocide when her posts get millions of likes in minutes.
i understand why, after what kanye did, she became a quieter and more private person but it is becoming more and more like the only person that she cares about is herself and that's hard cause the taylor i grew up loving and knowing was someone who connected to her fans, who wore her heart on her sleeve and now she just feels so disconnected from reality. after the miss americana doc i really thought she was going to make a change for the better, but she took so many steps backward that it's just disappointing.

I’m not defending kanye because that nigga is a self centered bitch. I am however willing to defend Kyrie to a point because I’m honestly tired of Black people suffering greater consequences under every imaginable circumstance.
Hopefully there will come a time when Black people defend our own honor the way these Jews defend theirs. Anyone calling Kyrie antisemitic is really just anti-Black. And yes the link to the doc he posted was in poor taste, stupid and largely indefensible, but making the man pull down his pants and bend over after he conceded that he was wrong is fucking bullshit and it makes me want to be on some blind Dr. Umar type shit.
I’d like to see Anti-Blackness have the same consequences as “antisemitism”.
I agree with you to a point, but I think we should reserve "defending black people" to Black people who are actually victims, and not Black people who did something wrong and it's rubbing us the wrong way how harshly they were punished for what they did (Bill Cosby, R. Kelly, Kanye, Kyrie, etc) I'm not comparing Kyrie to Bill Cosby in terms of severity, but they broadly fall under the category of Black people who fucked up in some way.
Missing in all of this discussion is how Kyrie was given several chances to walk that shit back and *every time* he doubled down and made it worse on himself.
Why do we have to uphold some of the worst niggas in our community as martyrs when they brought it on themselves against everyone telling them to stop WAY before it got out of hand?
I'm not holding digital marches on the internet for a nigga who was telling us the world was flat 3 years ago.

I always assumed the Miss Americana documentary name as just a reference to her being “America’s sweetheart”. I never assumed it was a political documentary, it was more about her life and breaking the mold she had put herself in. Why else would the ED, Kanye snapgate, all those news snippets be mentioned? Part of that was speaking about politics but it’s not the central point at all.
And regarding that, as an Indian kid of immigrants I really don’t need Taylor Swift to speak out for me. I understand she’s a white woman who is privileged , and whose main career is songwriting and performing. She generally seems like a nice person so I’m a fan, but I don’t need her to the messiah or even “unproblematic”. Maybe that’s me being cynical about celebs
yeah, the doc itself is not hardcore political, and it's kinda crazy looking back how much of the fandom (myself included) took it as a major radical political awakening. the reviews at the time were great but definitely described the political lean to it much more fairly: she came to her awakening late, and talks about feminism and her career and marsha blackburn. that's it.
even the netflix summary is pretty vague: In this revealing documentary, Taylor Swift embraces her role as a songwriter and performer — and as a woman harnessing the full power of her voice.

Ok when I saw the new Abbey Road doc, there was a very uncomfortable section on Kanye West. Everyone in the theater audibly winced. Do you think they’ll make a last minute cut and remove it? Or will it remain?

Types of shoes the ninja would wear.
Nya: my beautiful sea queen wears athletic sneakers. Not anything particularly special honestly, but she's athletic. She's strong. She needs good support for her souls, because she's a girlboss. 😘
Tumblr media
Cole: so for Cole I have 2 ideas. Someone said he would wear Doc Martens, which is totally valid. I can envision the combat boots. He deserves combat boots <3 But in my head, I envisioned Cole wearing birkenstocks with like black socks. Idk I just envision him wearing socks and sandals, but specifically these sandals. Plus, he's TOTALLY a dad, so ofc he wears socks and sandals. 😄
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Zane: Originally I said Zane would wear nice shoes. Like leather business shoes. But then, I found these beautiful things and I thought, Zane would 100% wear this. Turn on his funny switch, and these bad boys turn on. Light up Hightops. Let Zane do the Robot. 🤖
Tumblr media
Pixal: she probably wears vans or something. Something cute and simple. I imagine her wearing the ones that cover your ankles. 😍
Tumblr media
Lloyd: this little edgy child wears converse. He thinks he's so special too lol. So basic hehe 🤭
Tumblr media
Jay: oh my fucking God he wears crocs 24/7 and I hate hate hate hate hate that. He is that insane person that has probably 10 pairs of crocs, and different jibbitz for each croc (yes they're called jibbitz). He wears them all the time, and I hate that so much. He probably has the winter crocs for when it gets cold. Sorry, I hate it 😡
Tumblr media
Kai: this bitch wears exclusively name brand. He wants the expensive names. But, here's the thing. There are these really ugly shoes made by Kanye, they're well over $300 and they're the most atrocious things in the whole world. He would wear those. Looking at them makes me want to die. Look at them and tell me how much you hate them. 🤮
