Topic	Is Taylor Swift an industry plant?
s0nicfan 10/30/23 5:06:16 PM #13:	lolife67 posted... What does "industry plant" even mean? Her fans aren't being forced to but her music or go to her concerts. Clearly she puts out a product the fans enjoy. IIRC it usually means a well connected and/or rich artist who is being propped up by labels as a nobody discovered at random, continuing to push the narrative that anyone can be a star, when in reality said individual was already well connected in industry and not actually "discovered." EDIT: I dunno how legit these are, but here are some examples https://lipstiq.com/208361/singers-you-didnt-know-are-industry-plants/ The New Zealand born singer-songwriter, Lorde, was accused of being an industry plant when fans discovered that she had already signed to Universal Music Group when her EP The Love Club was released for free on the music streaming platform, SoundCloud. It was said that the record executives felt confident pushing ahead with an official release when it was downloaded over 60,000 times. Her fame was disguised as organic growth with a strong underdog narrative while in reality, she was backed by a massive label. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.
