These movements are reflections of our society. This is mainly a movement of young women who are worked into a frenzy. We have had Elvis, the Beatles, Bee Gees, Micheal Jackson, and Taylor Swift. This cult-like following is nothing new. What is new is all of the other eras had greatness around them; in this one, Taylor Swift is alone. Our cultural institutions are not producing things people want to see. The movies could be better, is any good music?, and most TV shows are built for small niches, not mass audiences.
Taylor Swift is a symptom of voters. Many of us that are political animals think everyone else is following what we want; they are not. Everyone buying tickets and singing Taylor Swift songs are voters. If and when the wheels come off the economy, whatever leader has to lead a large slice of the population who sings substantive songs like this bubble gum rock.
These articles might seem frivolous, but our culture is becoming frivolous, which does not bode well for the future.

When tickets cost $650, it’s definitely not a youth movement. TS started in country; now she is a phenomenon of, by, and for the elites.
I think it is called "social contagion."
