I'm not saying she shouldn't have complained about this. She has every right to, but complaining about it definitely made the problem a lot worse.

Streisand Effect or something.

Except she's the most famous woman in the country, a well-established sex symbol, and already the subject of enumerable erotic fantasies and fictions.

Its the same problem as "The Fappening" from forever ago. The fact that this exists is its own fuel and whether she chooses to acknowledge it or not is a moot point. Someone is going to talk about it and the news will spread.

This is something negative that can impact her not something negative she did that she'd like us to forget.

She oughta make a stink and put a spotlight on it if it's gonna hurt her image.

This a problem that doesn't just affect her though. Not discussing the problem means it doesn't get worse for her, but does continue to happen to other people.

Discussing it means it gets worse for her but there could be potentially be solutions found. Solutions that would help her and other people affected.

Worst case scenario is no solution is found, but the people making AI porn make more Taylor Swift AI porn which results in less resources being devoted towards making AI porn of other people. This makes things worse for Swift but better for other people.

TLDR; Taylor Swift is a saint and is operating a level that us petty sinners can't comprehend.

she drew so much attention to it though that there are more news stories than actual images at this point. if you look for the images, you're gonna have to go through pages and pages of news articles about it at this point. not sure if it was intentional, but kinda worked...

This is probably a good thing even if real nudes leaked nobody would know if it's real
