Sure. But also she broke and set records without those political games before being the mega superstar she is in 2026. Thats exactly how she became the mega superstar she is in 2026.

The point is that its nonsense for her to fight ao hard to keep winning and boxing out other artists, when from our point of view, she doesnt need to. Shes already won.

In reality id imagine its way deeper, and that she really is getting pressure from multiple directions to maintain unrealistic statistics and clout, becuase many rich people are involved and are greedy too.

Most other artist that get the F U clout like she has have used that to make the music they want. She’s just doubled down. No record label could make her do a thing. She could 100% back her own publishing and distribution if she so desired.
