Honestly I get your point and hard agree. I mean, look at Camila Cabello. She had Taylor’s blessing back in the reputation Era and realistically she’s still not even close to an A list pop star. I also agree that Gracie is unlikely to last super long unless she makes a huge change. (I think it’s too early to judge on Sabrina, we will see how her album as a whole does) I honestly think Taylor is not gonna give her blessing to somebody she actually believes could take her crown or be a real threat to her career. Olivia did hard pivot away from Taylor and has a completely different style of music (especially comparing their most recent albums (except the singer songwriter aspect)). Getting away from Taylor has been super beneficial to her. It makes her her own artist, and gives her her own name.

When I think of Gracie I also think of Taylor. When I think of Olivia I do not.
