Fitting since she makes music for people that are exactly like that.
People that think they're wild and crazy but are actually the most mild and middle class white people you've ever met.

ITT: people who would have thrown away rap albums when they found out the rapper never actually dealt drugs defending a billionaire from a little joke she’ll never see.

I mean, asylums aren't known to be horrible because of the quality of the architecture, but how people treat other people in there.
I mean her parents would drive to NY for singing and acting lessons, the family relocated to Nashville to enable her carrer, paid for private school, beautiful homes... by all accounts her family provided a strong foundation for her to launch.
She's been supported throughout her life, calling the way she was raised an "asylum" is kind of insulting to people that grew up wondering if there would be food on the table or if Dad was coming home angry again. Not to minimize her struggles but I'm willing to bet most people could actually last an hour
You may want to look more into it.
Her father was one of the principals on the closing of DreamWorks Nashville. Big Machine records is what DreamWorks Nashville was rebranded as once severed from the rest of the corporate structure.
He essentially took the commission he got from selling Toby Keith's catalog and then reinvested it into Big Machine before it was open to other investors.
He essentially spent $2m to buy his daughter's career.

When people write songs are the lyrics always supposed to be literally true? There's some interesting stuff happening out there if so...
Can't believe Johnny Cash actually shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die.

No argument that she's from the wealth & privilege class
But you don't become the biggest pop star ever with a completely healthy upbringing, either, right?

Paul McCartney had, by all accounts, an idyllic childhood

Sure you could. Why not?
...why not? Pop isn't exactly a reaction like metal, punk or hyperpop, it's just... The default genre of music she could have made?
What unhealthy part of any upbringing would compel someone to make pop?
Anyone that driven was probably abused mentally to some degree at the very least... I know you think you're being "funny" because it's just "pop music". Like being pop means it isn't a horrible cut throat industry that regularly chews up and destroys child stars ...
No, she had the fucken cash to sit around and get the fucken recording equipment and instruments for country songs. That shit ain't cheap, and she started before the home recording revolution. So you know Papa Swift paid for some studio time. Its not abuse at all, its wealth and privilege to pursue what you want.

yeah but if you live there your parents leave you alone at Christmas and two guys attempt to break in and kill you so you have to improvise booby traps
Have you met rich people? These two locations definitely housed the mentally unwell.
Most rich people are also sociopaths that show little to no empathy for their offspring.
There was also no wifi.
And you have to put up with Wes Anderson constantly filming the bougie melodrama
