        Yes… Because a generally liked pop singer and a highly controversial world leader have the same likelihood for being assassinated.

          If you don’t think Taylor Swift is under absolutely constant threat of assault and kidnapping then I have an incel in Brooklyn to sell you.

            … I never said she wasn’t? I simply find it comical that you think a pop star has a better security detail than the sitting president of the United States lol.

          Clout assassinations have been a thing for decades, John Lennon was murdered back in the 1980.

            Ok so that’s 1 for assassinated pop stars… And a couple hundred assassinated world leaders. Or 4 presidents if you wanna limit yourself to just the US and it’s relatively short history.

              There’s a lot more than just one - here’s a specific example with excessive violence and a lot of collateral damage

              https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimebag_Darrell

              And here’s Wikipedia’s list of notable musicians, do note that someone performing at your local club or restaurant wouldn’t make it onto this list

              https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_murdered_musicians

              Also, she’s a prominent woman and there are just a lot of creepy guys out there so she’d faced an immense amount of abuse from a distance and personal threats of a violent, sexual and violently sexual nature.

                Damn you right. Maybe it is easier to kill a musician than it is to kill a sitting US president with the secret service around.

                Crazy concept I know.

              You really want to go down that road? Because I’m sure there’s a Wikipedia article that could show you a lot more attempted assassinations for pop stars than presidents /world leaders

                Here’s a crazy concept. Maybe they get killed more frequently than US presidents because they don’t have the fuckin secret service protecting them 24/7. I mean the guy who killed John Lennon just walked up to him outside a building and shot him.
