Times have changed for people all over the world in the hardships that have come during the last almost 2 years of a major pandemic alongside many other issues, this didn’t exclude celebrities like most financial and situational issues have in life. Plenty of celebs we watch online and on TV did not listen to the beginning regulations and rules for this virus so many of us thought they were going to be above it all like Hollywood’s and the world’s favorites tend to be.
However, this event has actually proven to alter some of the aspects of celebrity culture and lives in ways most of us won’t realize from just watching one or two main celebs. Here are some interesting tidbits on how the virus has changed celebrity culture, and what that may mean.
Separation of the Top
Just like for many of us, connectivity is a difficulty for celebrities. Especially for those that are just starting out or trying to connect to a wider audience during the virus. This has created a pretty distinct separation of famous and rich folk, where the people already established have been able to stay on top and mostly unaffected while those trying to get into the celebrity scene or that have a smaller fan base have struggled to grow or even lost standing. It creates a very obvious issue with making celebrities more exclusive and also preventing newcomers.
Public Resentment
We all got very differently hit by the virus and its following regulations from local or federal governments, but celebrities were very clearly hit a lot less by it. They preached to stay home to help slow pandemics while being in a large mansion with plenty of people to do their work and things to do when bored or cramped. But we don’t have that experience. Many families struggled hard in the pandemic, and watching most major celebs have little to no hardships from the change stirred up a great deal of eye opening thoughts for those that idolize famous folk.
New Business Plans
Everything for marketing and interaction took turns from the normal to more social media based and online focused products as well as alterations to what was affordable for folks at home. Celebs that may have thrived off of live concerts or venues don’t have that option during the pandemic, and those with expensive brands or things like high end makeup may not make as much money as consumers shift towards more useful items for spending and easier to consume content. It’s truly going to create necessity for re-assessment of business plans.
This is just some of the major overviews of what is beginning to shift through the world of celebrity culture, which can and most likely will continue to change as the pandemic slows down over time or as more comes to light about the lives of the famous people we see online. However, it does put into perspective what the general public has for an opinion on famous folk during this virus.
And knowing information like this can give you a good way to understand what may happen in the coming times for celebrities, our interactions with them, and the economy in relation to those that hold a good portion of the money. You can think on this yourself and figure out or make predictions for how this celeb situation will move forward.
