Taylor Swift, Egalitarianism and Anti-Institutionalism

Taylor Swift

Season 4, Episode 2

Stu, Tim and Joel continue to look at ministering in the world that we live in through the lens of the most influential artists of the time, in particular, Taylor Swift.

Taylor's actions, impact and influence throughout the 2010s and 2020s give further credence to the idea of how social movements have caused ideas to replace economics in the structure of society. The church's response to these shifts, such as the myth of egalitarianism, the place of consumerism and wealth in society and anti-institutionalism depends on how we engage and/or embrace culture.
