The concept of Shakira using Taylor Swift to protect herself from getting cancelled. ๐คก
The funniest part is how people think Taylor Swift is some magical PR shield ๐ญ Like the second a celebrity says I love Taylor suddenly everyoneโs supposed to forget the controversy and start making friendship bracelets again. And honestly I canโt even fully blame Shakira if thatโs the strategy because Taylorโs fanbase moves like a government agency online ๐ One co sign from her ecosystem and the narrative changes overnight.
But also Shakira has been famous for decades. That woman survived cheating scandals tax drama heartbreak public humiliation and still walks around looking untouchable. So part of me feels like people are infantilizing her by acting like she desperately needs Taylor to save her. At the same time celebrity media training is so transparent now. Compliment the biggest woman in pop and suddenly everyone calls you smart and classy again. ๐
