clickbait

Earlier this month, Swift's representatives told the BBC she was being brought into a legal row to create "tabloid clickbait".

Taylor Swift's representatives have told the BBC she is being brought into a legal row between Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively to create "tabloid clickbait".

The popstar's spokespeople argued that the subpoena "designed to use Taylor Swift's name to draw public interest by creating tabloid clickbait instead of focusing on the facts of the case".

“Given that her involvement was licensing a song for the film, which 19 other artists also did, this document subpoena is designed to use Taylor Swift’s name to draw public interest by creating tabloid clickbait instead of focusing on the facts of the case,” the statement continued.

If her design was to uplift leading women in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, she could have taken her pick of geniuses to make history with her, but where’s the clickbait in that?
