The Shelf Life of a Pop Star

What gives a pop star staying power?

In our frenetic music landscape, it’s clear that a lot of pop stars that defined the millennial “hopecore” sound — think Lizzo and Katy Perry — are no longer resonating with audiences.  So who are listeners gravitating to these days, and how does that reflect the times we’re living in?  Brittany talks to music writer and critic Brittany Spanos on whether we’re seeing a generational shift in music taste, and how legacy acts can stay relevant too.
