Can you help me understand the Taylor Swift analogy?

Curious why you say that, Taylor Swift had a markedly different career.

Yes, it's a poor analogy. Taylor swift is a megastar at the top of her industry. Everyone has heard her music and seen her in ads, even if you didn't ask to. Charlie Kirk was one of many conservative speakers, and plenty of Trump voters never heard him speak. That's not a criticism of the man, just the reality of how reputations get blown out of proportion for the media's purposes.

A better analogy would be David Hogg: a young man who could appeal to the younger generation in his own party, and who could engage in fiery rhetoric at times but also tried to engage with the other side.
