On the first point: yeah, I didn’t even want to get into the underlying sexism that drives the critique lol.
On the second: yeah, she made a billion dollars on her music. If you want to appeal to that wide of an audience, you’re going to need to pump out some generic shit, at least on occasion.

She can throw together 10 somewhat specific songs to cater to the fan base, then 2 tracks that get massive airtime and hook more people into the fan base. She’s literally the best at it by the numbers.
