      She doesn’t really do that much grifting. She only promoted a chud LA mayor who lost, otherwise she hasn’t really rocked the boat with her lib audience too much.

      Yeah from what I remember the real reason she fell off was that she never changed her sound from the club/party vibe that was popular in 2010, but people were tired of by 2015

      LOOOTS of

      spoiler

      sexual harassment, and sexualizing of minors

      , cultural appropriation is not longer as acceptable as it once was, and most importantly bad music, and awful outdated aesthetics. plus she was always problematic and super christian.

        When was she Christian and problematic, other than her very early pre-warped-tour career?

        I thought she was one of the types who tried and failed to pander to the gays (like how Meagan Trainer didn’t succeed at that either).

          I don’t think she was much of anything before 2008, I’m just going off the top of my head. I tried to look it up, but I can’t find it, but I remember when I kissed a girl came out. A lot of people were demanding that she renounced her homophobic church and she would not and she made a bunch of defending Christianity both sidesing it. When I tried to Google it now all I can find our recent interviews about her saying she was made to pray the gay away, So it looks like she’s denouncing them now many many years later.
