    I think a lot of it is a “right place at the right time” as she really got going in the early days of YouTube with songs/videoclips that appealed a lot to teenagers, and now those teens are adults who can actually afford to go to concerts. Kinda like One Direction, Justin Bieber or Katy Perry if they hadn’t fallen off of the face of the earth.

      isn’t harry styles literally just the remnants of one direction, and also one of the most popular artists of all time?

        Oh yeah, but the band itself disbanded very quickly and only Styles remained really famous (I don’t even remember the names of the other ones off the top of my head). He himself is just like Swift in that they’re very popular nowadays because of their great timing with YouTube, catchy songs and very well produced videoclips, though 1D also had that thing where every cishet man decided they were the spawn of the devil and that made their careers very complicated. They’re also still very active and competent, they’re today kind of what Michael Jackson was in the late 90s/early 2000s, but without all the tabloid racism.
