      From a quick search, it appears that a bunch of white supremacists revere her as something like a goddess, and the feeling is absolutely not mutual - in 2019, she unambiguously and firmly denounced white supremacy and alt-right stuff in general in a Rolling Stone interview.

        Why do they revere her? Like I get that she is a very beautiful white woman, but there are lots of those. There has to be more than just “she’s hot and white so we’ve made her our goddess” right?

          She used to be on the hick country stations that all the racist old people I know listen to, back when she was pop-country, so maybe they see her as one of their own? And a goddess because she’s objectively the biggest music star in the world atm?

          Mostly the white, pretty, and fame, though.

          No, I honestly don’t think there’s any more to it than that. She’s an attractive, famous, and successful white lady. That’s kinda it.
