I think a big part of could also be that she's genuinely a huge pop fan. If she grew up listening to big stars and always wanted to become one, she's right where she wants to be.
For me, it's people like Arms & Sleepers who make me love music. The intimate interaction you can have with them personally, the personal thank yous they give you when they get your payment, they answer questions, etc. I get a hand sent envelope containing every poster they've ever had when I only paid for one. The price? $2.00! I didn't even pay through their website! I paid it straight to one of the member's Paypal accounts. The one time they didn't have an album I wanted, so they sent me to a German online store. I e-mailed the guy back and forth a couple times because he was always giving me updates and made sure to let me know he was busy and would have my album out as soon as possible. Everything from him was hand written too. I love that intimate interaction. Pop music feels so cold in comparison.
