OP
It is cool that she did that. It's also cool that when I went to see Paramore, Hayley stopped the show because two fools in gen admission started fighting, she called them out and kicked them out of the show. And in the city before mine she stopped the show to check on another audience member who seemed to be having a medical emergency. MCR did something similar at their show. All these things are cool, and countless other musicians do the same and more, I'm sure. I just feel that these kinds of actions do not garner a spot beyond front page on Reddit or whatever entertainment space you partake in. The national news though?

Naturally, TS is incredibly popular and mainstream, but aside from hearing how she's sold out arenas, I just find the timing funny. The minute I'm checking Reddit I see the rumors of her and that bozo, and the next morning a piece praising her? Come on...

That's a PR team hard at work. I never heard on the news of all the other really nice things she's done for people, and I've never seen who she's dating on the news either. But when you have enough money and clout, you can shine a light on things you've done and have the national news pick up on it. And you can have them not cover every single kind thing you've done for fans.

None of this is to say she did that on purpose, I'm sure she cares about her fans and that was genuine. But if I was her PR manager, we're gonna ride the wave of the new album, sold out tours, and the fact that a fan is sharing their story on TikTok. Especially if it makes people look away from dating rumors. And in business, TS is no idiot. She's not a fool when it comes to her money.

I totally agree with you about it being cool whenever an artist does something like that! But I disagree about the timing being suspicious. As a T-Swift fan, I can tell you from experience that when Taylor is touring, the "news" stories about things that happened at her most recent concert just never stop coming. Honestly, her shouting off a hostile security guard is one of the more interesting and deserving things that's made the news wrt her concerts.

I don't entirely disagree with you about PR being an aspect of it, though. It would be naive to think that PR is ever not an aspect of things where she's concerned, and undoubtedly her PR team was particularly encouraging of stories that highlighted her most clear-cut positive qualities right then. But that story absolutely would've been all over the place regardless, because anything that can be needlessly inflated into Clickbait About Taylor Swift gets to be a story when Taylor is touring and it's been that way for years--though I'm not sure it's ever been quite as intense as it is right now, because the Eras tour is borderline unprecedented in the sheer massiveness of its production.
