itβs the way miss americana was framed as this massive, tearful political awakening where she finally broke her silence because she couldnβt bear to be on the wrong side of history... only for her to pivot entirely in every aspect of her life + releasing 47 vinyl variants of the same album to block independent artists + dating problematic men while the world burns. the documentary was nothing more than a marketing campaign to rebrand her as an underdog. she literally told us sheβs a mastermind, why are people still shocked when the math adds up to pure capitalism? and before anyone tries to yell misogyny: it is entirely possible to think the media historically mistreated her and think her current corporate greed is indefensible. both can be true. equality doesn't mean women get a free pass to operate like a multinational conglomerate without criticism. she explicitly capitalized on a faux-feminist, politically active rebrand in miss americana to gain cultural favor. weaponizing feminism as a shield against legitimate critiqueβlike her silence on human rights issues or her massive carbon footprintβactually degrades the movement. you can love her music and still recognize that billionaire status requires exploitation, regardless of gender.
