Harry and Taylor Swift aren’t all the different but it’s interesting to me how they go about fandom and parasocial relationships bc Harry uses such a level of detachment and vagueness for fans to project their theories and fantasies onto (whether that be consciously or unconsciously on his part) while the other enables the exact same thing but through cryptic easter eggs and a contrived media presence (further creating a sense of entitlement among her fans to have all access to her). Sorry if this doesn’t make sense or if I’m just pointing out the obvious lmao
NO it does make sense and this was one of my biggest icks when Harry tried the discord easter egg thing for HS3 bc like ultimately it didn't work bc he lacked that sort of relationship with his fans. You can't be this aloof and never interact with fans and then spring this sort of thing one them and expect it to take off naturally - it works for her bc that's her strategy (to a fault where it makes people go lit chrally insane, I don't think this is a route he should go down if he values privacy). But they both defs leverage that obsessive parasocial relationship by letting their fans do all the heavy lifting of their marketing/promo and making them feel validated or like they have some deep kind of subliminal bond when they guess one of the easter eggs (that was probably either painfully obvious or decided to affirm existing fan conspiracies in the first place lol)

I’m not being funny but harry is acting in the same way he is with Taylor that he did with Olivia. The only difference is the fans hated the latter
okkkkkkkkk do you not read anything where I say this is really boring to me

also like I’m just like ok. he’s on break. you have got to find something else to entertain yourselves with
But he made it everyone's business. I don't think getting papped and walking in crowd places is for goodness sake, let's be honest even stevie wonder can see he's trying to rebuild his stained image after that lady, there's countless times of strategic articles about them. I'm tired of Harries dragging me for pointing out this stuff because she fueled their delusions.
Ok I just find this conversation really boring I’m sorry <3

When fans say “this is different” and talk about how happy and relaxed Harry was compared to previous relationships, what they really mean is he’s dating someone they like this time and can project their fantasies

I thank god every day that I never got into taylor swift's music and became a swiftie
I still remember when I was a child and love story had just come out and it was playing on the channel [v] countdown and my mother said something like "there is something extremely bratty about this young lady please don't think she's a good example for you" and then i never evolved apparently
