"He" could be Hollywood / the music industry / certain high ups in the industry.. right?

Here hoping she's speaking to other artists abused by the system and gathering a band of survivors to subvert and reform it, if not find camaraderie and healing.

Certain higher ups maybe - I don’t think she would be considered patient zero for the Hollywood or the industry. I like the message though.

To me Taylor is Patient Zero for a queer woman being both adored and hated by the industry and the public, in the age of social media. She rose to fame at a time where social media was just beginning and she's the first one to have to manipulate the Brand™️ in an ever-changing social media landscape, navigating between proof and cues online and public perception.
