Can someone explain the Taylor Swift phenomenon to me?

I was dismissive of the hyper-fans after I watched one of my college students break down because she didn’t have reception and heard Tayulor’s new single ten minutes after the rest of the world. The poor girl was inconsolable.

I remember when Tool released an album that briefly outsold Taylor Swift’s latest release. The Swifties were not having it. There was hysteria and conspiracy theories to rival the Biden Trump election.
