I think you are reaching here JP. The defining aspect of her "brand" is most certainly her music, not her "non-controversial" nature. The controversial aspect of the music, if there is any, is rendered irrelevant simply because it is established and the customers paid for it. So we set that aside. Now we are left with the current politics of the performance, wholly separate from the music (obviously, since the music was crafted in circumstances that had little to do with Kerry or Moore) and not part of the advertisements. When the ads played, in a contentious election cycle, they very likely didn't mention that the concert would push Kerry or promote Moore. They likely promoted only the music. It is the brand promoted in the ads that the people bought and that they expected - NOT the controversy of politics. Indeed, many people likely responded to try and get away from the politics and they could reasonably assume that the concert would afford them that opportunity. Anyone would assume it. While I would definitely call it a stupid career move, I don't see this as immoral. Why do you think it a stupid career move? (grin) The immorality of it is found in the answer to this question.
