Abstract

Musicians such as Elton John, Jennifer Knapp, and George Michael have told stories of concealed identity, unfair treatment, and internal turmoil due to the tension between authenticity and marketability. A lot has changed since then: musicians are even more accessible with the invention of the internet, and in cases like Taylor Swift or Harry Styles, function as a brand of their own.
