The pressure on women is to look young. Rebelling against that ideally includes not trying to make yourself look young by having invasive procedures that most women can’t even afford. Again, get all the plastic surgery you like. But it does send a signal and it isn’t “I accept that I am not 23 anymore, society can go fuck itself”.
Anyway, accepting for the moment that encouraging women to grow old while not caring what others think about them is her cause. Is that it? Because others are doing a much better job of that.
Now, I haven’t followed her because the last time I was consciously aware of her music (some time in the 00s, I think) it had started to become generic so I stopped caring. So earlier I tried to hint at a thing that I found actively annoying about her in recent years, namely her NFTs. Want to comment on that? How she jumped on that dumpsterfire of a bandwagon to make more money?
To be completely honest, I wasn’t even aware of the NFT thing. She has done some pretty unsavory things over the course of her career, the NFT thing, obviously, her reaction to Sinéad O’Connor tearing up the photo of the Pope, her habit of being consistently late for concerts, etc., and I have no qualms about admitting that. When you’ve been a public figure for over four decades, you’re bound to have a mix of good and bad things to talk about.
