Once upon a time a couple decades ago, we didn’t know anything about musicians’ private lives

Oh sure. Famously, nobody read tabloids or did muckrack journalism prior to 1990.

And there certainly wasn't a hotbed of right-wing media focused on outing popular musicians as gay or slandering artists for being minorities or women.
