Taylor Swift wasn't photographed for a full year before or after her reputation era, and that was like at the peek of her controversy (with the Kimye beef).
Paparazzi culture as we grew up with it is gone. Celebs call paps themselves.
Not even TMZ is posting anything about her anymore unless when she or someone in her circle posts something on social media.
She doesn't want to be photographed and people are starting to respect it.
