She got popular on TikTok with “get ready with me” videos, a genre of short form content where you watch people apply makeup and get dressed for clubbing, concerts etc. (or the opposite, actually, watching them get ready for bed).
She is conventionally attractive and has a bunch of equally attractive friends who appear in her content, so it’s easy to see the appeal. Plus, GRWM feels like you’re socializing, sitting at the person’s desk / “battle station”, getting ready with them, just chatting, sharing stories. I see why the overall genre is working.
That being said, I watched a few videos of her just now, and well yeah, it’s not exactly intellectually stimulating. She really is the hot blonde girl that dates the football star talking about her boob job and how she doesn’t understand why she was invited to Miley Cyrus’s NYE party, and it pretty much ends there.
Then again, that’s like the depth of what, 90% of popular media? I can’t hate on her as a person.
It’s weird - a parasocial relationship that has supplanted real ones, and the person just does product placements at you. But it works for some people.
I’d rather talk to my cat. The only thing he tries to get me to buy is cat food. And a million small toys.
Same as people being mad at Sidney Sweeney because racist white guys love her like conventionally attractive blondes with big tits dont test pretty well across the board.

She’s definitely leaned in and taken their money to do wink wink reactionary advertising.
Case in point, a recent blue jeans ad she starred in.
Sweeney says, “Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality, and even eye color,” before adding, “My jeans are blue,” with the tagline concluding, “Sydney Sweeney has great jeans”.
Like, it’s quite a few steps off of Elon doing the Hitler salute or a Platner Totenkomf. But her team isn’t stupid. They know who this appeals to and why.

I’m not sure if you’re aware but it’s documented that she registered to vote affiliated with the Republican Party in June 2024.
It’s not merely that people like her that are conservative.
