To be fair, you don't know if OP is poor.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm willing to bet they've had closer brushes with it than Taylor Swift ever has or will.

[kallanda_lee]

Possibly, obviously I doubt they can buy a mansion. But, I stent a lot of my life with people better off than me, and it always seemed to me that at a certain level of "comfortable" people do seem to identify more with celebs (rather than envy them, if that makes sense).

[(Anonymous)]

In the U.S., plenty of people who could be considered poor identify strongly with celebrities, too. SOMEBODY is watching the Kardashians.

[(Anonymous)]

Because it's fun to imagine living in luxury.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, and I'd say it's a little more than that - people like to imagine that such lifestyles are attainable for themselves, and seeing celebrities who are "just like us" helps enforce that fantasy.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't think you need to go that far to account for the phenomenon of their popularity, and I'm hesitant to draw conclusions like that without more supporting evidence.

Makes sense to me. My family is nowhere near rich but we've never been in any danger of coming close to poverty, and personally I find it easier to imagine an even more comfortable lifestyle than a poor one. There are certain worries that I've just never had to live with.
