Strong public perception. Swift is often portrayed as a front runner of liberated women and modern (however-manyth wave) feminism as well as "woke" (I really hate that word) lifestyle aka pluralistic and aware of socioeconomic issues, which certain people don't like. At the same time Swift was cited as one of the "worst" private jet owners for having taken the highest number of private flights in a certain group and timeframe (citation gravely needed). She is easy to attack due to the (supposedly) high moral standard people attribute to her image. Probably comparable to Gates in this regard.

Feminism has been weaponized today and it's very entertaining to see it play out. :)

Everyone is being turned against eachother and these celebrities are just branded in a specific way to make them likeable to the majority.
