Análise televisual convergente da cobertura jornalística do Jornal Nacional sobre a passagem da The Eras Tour pelo Brasil

Abstract

The present study aims to analyze the phenomenon of fangirling within Jornal Nacional’s journalistic coverage of the American singer Taylor Swift's The Eras tour. The journalistic objectivity within the content produced, the way JN treats these sources and how the program covers celebrity journalism during the days of analysis. The Eras tour came to Brazil in November 2023, with six show dates in two different cities, Rio de Janeiro (RJ) and São Paulo (SP). Jornal Nacional covered the shows on the 17th, 18th and 20th of November. Within this material, a section on Taylor Swift, Ana Clara Benevides and the company Time For Fun was made, and in this material the source relationships, the content produced and the fangirling were collected. It is possible to observe that although JN does not treat fans in a shameful manner, they are not treated as individuals. This study also addresses Swift's career, her relationship with whiteness, but especially the singer's relationship with her fans and the phenomenon of fangirling, which still has little material produced in Brazil. This work was carried out through Convergent Televisual Analysis (ATC), a method developed by Beatriz Becker (2019), with a three-day time frame focusing on coverage of shows in Rio de Janeiro. The main topics covered are the name Taylor Swift, The Eras Tour and Ana Clara Benevides.
