Taylor Swift is blatantly biased by the big man, fans are also outraged

Taylor Swift continues to attract attention after her new album " The Tortured Poets Department" came out on April 19. However, what caused a stir was not only her music, but also that BCC favored her too much on television.

Recently, the online community sparked controversy about the BBC giving Taylor Swift a lot of "wave land" on BBC Radio 4's "Today Programme" to analyze the new album.

Specifically, the BBC (UK) spent significant airtime with Taylor during the last week of April 4, writing many fan reactions when Taylor's new album was leaked on social media, the name of a pub became the title of the song and also Taylor's songs used on TikTok... The BBC even published an analysis of Taylor Swift's connection to ancient Greek poets.

This preference of the BBC was met with controversy. Many viewers thought this was a biased act, violating the journalistic principle of objectivity and neutrality. They criticised the fact that the BBC spends too much time with one artist, while ignoring many other important issues.

Besides, some argue that the BBC is trying to "whitewash" Taylor Swift's image, ignoring the controversy surrounding her. They point out that the BBC focuses on the positive aspects, while the scandals about the singer's personal life are rarely mentioned.

One BBC viewer said: "How did a pop singer's release of a double album become national news? This should only appear on the magazine show."

Another viewer, Claire Maclannan, reached out to Newswatch – which gives viewers' opinions on BBC News coverage – to reflect: "I'm not sure if I've ever heard any other musician or artist talked about on so many channels. She seemed to become a major item on BBC One TV, being covered several times a day for days. I couldn't believe the level of coverage, to the point where I thought the BBC was paid to promote her. Are they trying their best to attract young people to watch the radio?"

In addition, some netizens shared the same opinion: "I am giving the BBC too much of my money so that they can show me content that I do not want", "She is also covered too much on other news channels. Every day there are so many articles", "I am sick of the news about her, the relationship with her boyfriend or the outfit like swimsuit. Overexposure is not always good."

To mixed reviews from viewers, the BBC responded: "Taylor Swift is an important figure in pop culture. We know her audience, especially young people, care about her work. So we felt it was right to include reports about the new album and react about it as part of pop culture. We note not everyone feels this way. We will consider all viewers when choosing which stories to cover."

Taylor Swift debuted in 2006 as one of the global cult singers sought after by the media and the public. Most recently, the newly released album was considered one of the biggest music events of the year. The album consists of 31 tracks, of which 16 were pre-announced. On the day of the product launch, she suddenly launched a second part - including the remaining 15 songs, creating a fever on social networks.

In addition, she made her mark with her songwriting talent and was the main songwriter of songs in her career. After 10 albums, Taylor Swift received 12 Grammy Awards, 29 Billboard Awards and was successful with many international tours. Last year, she launched The Eras Tour, which has since grossed more than a billion dollars, making Taylor Swift the only billionaire whose fortune is largely based on music, according to Forbes.
