• Taylor isn't gonna turn on Sabrina

I believe there's a lot of confusion surrounding Taylor's pivot to Sabrina. Taylor needs Sabrina. Taylor needs Sabrina to break out, exactly as she's doing. That's why she's handed her the opening act, her producers, shout-outs, PR, and synergized award appearances. It's all part of a plan.

Some of you might find this confusing. Sabrina is charming, a talented dancer and singer, has a knack for catchy pop, and is young. Should Taylor not feel threatened? But it’s not like Taylor didn't see this coming. If she didn't want this, she wouldn't have shone the limelight on Sabrina. No, Taylor isn't going to undermine Sabrina's new album or singles. She's not going to turn on her.

The truth is simpler and just as cynical as you might imagine:

Taylor needs Sabrina to keep Olivia Rodrigo in check.

Let's wind back the clock. Taylor was working behind the scenes to pave her way toward the Eras tour, from the re-recordings to the interviews and surprise releases. Initially, she saw Olivia as a means to retain her relevance, being involved enough to stay mentioned in Olivia's interviews and attached to her image. Taylor probably thought Olivia came from nowhere, had no strong support, and would fade away eventually. But once Olivia truly broke out with "Deja Vu" and "Good 4 U," Taylor started to feel threatened.

We all know what happened next.

Despite any efforts, Sour was a massive success, and Olivia Rodrigo only climbed higher in the industry. Taylor may have tried to tarnish that success and failed.

Back to Sabrina.

This time, Taylor knew that attempting to stamp out a rising star was futile. So she's actively supportive. She chose the perceived rival of another young star to avoid juggling two threats at once.

Taylor is not a girl's girl. Her support for Sabrina is so out of character that it can only be seen as a calculated move to achieve ulterior motives.
