I am here for the Taylor Swift theses and extrapolations. Do you forsee a day when she "goes off the rails" britney spears style or commits a gaff that ruins her standing, a la Michael Phelps with a bong? Is this foray into acting with 'Cats' a sign of things to come?
Not really. She seems to have gone into all of it with a good sense of what being a celebrity really means and she schedules enough recovery and alone time into her 2-yr album/tour cycles to keep her head.
Also if she can use her public persona to add layers to her performances, she can do the reverse to manage expectations - Reputation was I’m pretty sure the first time she had lyrics as someone who drank and got drunk (the shots at 22′s girls night and the champagne at Starlight’s yacht club party were merely implied, but then again they’re semantically overloaded so their real audiences were both older adults looking back on their youth and young teens having a vision of adulthood)
And Cats, at however disclaimably, obviously not-Taylor Swift it is (an 80s cat!) is still her as a stage star who walks around with a bottle of hard drugs.
The one wildcard I’d guess is if some external force took control away from her, like she suffered some injury that legitimately required her to take painkillers to maintain her tour schedule.
Also, she guest starred on an episode of CSI back in 2009:
