Yes, that’s what the drop-off after 2000 looks like to me (“Top 100 Best-Selling Artists” chart), not just fewer years of sales. That is, in a more fragmented music market, her kind of popularity would seem to be unlikely.

Also, the screaming not only at her concerts but during showings of her new concert movie. That’s a Beatles type thing, right?

I'm a fan of hers but I'm not a Swiftie! I had to sell my concert tickets in Seattle because I got Covid. Went to the 9 pm screening of the film last Friday at 9. Only half-filled and relatively subdued. It was mostly an older crowd. Late on a Friday night in a post-Covid downtown Seattle. I think that probably scared away the kind of fans who would've gone crazy in the theater. I was a little disappointed there wasn't more noise!
