@hennyondatok: Saw a video of Sabrina Carpenter performing with Earth, Wind & Fire at Lollapalooza and had thoughts about the lukewarm reception of Black artists in collaborations with white pop stars whose fandoms seem to struggle with their fav’s inspirations.

Consequences of thinking your audience is full of music lovers and not just lovers of your brand of music

Black music fans are MUSIC fans, white music fans are, largely, fans of the artist and aesthetic. They don’t respect the roots of the music, just the performer.

When Taylor bought out Mary j Blige that one time I always wondered if her fans knew who she was 😭

and not to mention, MAJORITY of sabrina's stans are white teenagers / young adults who don't indulge in black pop culture anyway 😭 their earth, wind, and fire is taylor swift, lana del rey, gracie abrams, charli xcx etc

And this why I hate when they get on here telling us it’s not that deep. It’s literally that deep to the woman who made the damn music drawing inspiration from legends…..sorry I connected the dots for you? To like? Learn what you like?

Many of the white pop girlies have horrifically racist fan bases unfortunately. The fans also don’t listen to music like that, just their faves and that’s it. That’s why they’re so obsessed with sales and streaming numbers, it’s only about the competition for them.

“Rule the world” was SOOOOOO good!! Like I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. Just like how fans treated Positions. That whole album was perfect, but we know why fans never considered it that

Is it also a young crowd. They might not know a band from the 70’s.

Not the exact same phenomenon but I feel like Tyler the creator has this sort of issue with his white fan base. I remember him mentioning that there’s only 6 black ppl in the crowd of his concert when I went lol. Lil yachty opened as well and my bf was genuinely annoyed that the people around us didn’t really care? He was telling me about how Tyler fans aren’t as in tune with hip hop/rap culture and esp with his newest album

people in the comments talking about "its bc theyre young" like no even young black ppl who might not know EW&F's entire discog have heard September or Boogie Wonderland.. Lets Groove was literally trending on here at one point like its definitely a cultural factor to it. The same thing with white kids JUST discovering Teena Marie suddenly. Im saying this as an 18 y/o...

Unfortunately a lot of white celebs don’t understand that a lot of their fanbases follow and support them cuz they’re white….. not really cuz of talent 😗

I was there for Sabrina’s lolla set and everyone around me was loosing their minds when they came out. What sucked was their mic wasn’t loud enough is some parts and the camera man wasn’t filming them when they were singing😔

They don’t like music. They like artists and certain songs. They spend their entire lives in the shallow end of the pool.

it’s so sad bc at her personal shows there is SO much diversity of people, especially black people, who truly appreciate sabrina’s respect for black artists 😭💔

Tbh I don’t think Sabrina is an actual EWF fan, felt super surface level with no chemistry on stage, you can tell when someone adores their inspirations and it’s sourced from something authentic.

It’s a generational thing. For example when Benson Boone brought Brain May on stage, the audience had no idea who he was.

To be fair Ari has been collabing with black legends, and black artists since her first album and those songs were received well. She was called Mini Mariah at the start of her career so it was always known who her inspirations were by fans. Whereas Sabrina I don’t think any regular fans who enjoy her music would know. I didn’t. I thought her inspirations were Dolly Parton and Taylor Swift.
