It's exactly what happened with Taylor Swift. She used to be an innocent country girl/farmer's daughter singing about getting married and having kids. Now she's 30, has become "thick," has no kids, owns multiple cats, is a vocal feminist, and just sings about being a whore engaging in premarital sex instead of looking for everlasting love or what have you.
I bet most people don't remember this, but feminists used to HATE Taylor Swift. That's how you knew she was doing something right... and that's probably also why she stopped doing it.
Doesn't really change my point. If the innocent image was more marketable, why change it?
I call it "small fish, big pond" syndrome. Girl grows up in small(ish) town to decently wealthy parents. Moves to bigger town, has to put out to stay socially relevant. Moves to BIG town, is still small fish, ends up getting swallowed whole. Ends up unable to cope with fact that they are small fish in big pond, dissolves into self-destructive behavior.
