You can tell just by watching any of her live shows that her fan base varies a lot. You'll see older and younger generations, both male and female.

I think this is probably the case. I used to get the vibe that she was very divisive, but fans of probably anyone in the U.S. would say the same thing about their idols. I do remember someone pointing out how most of the fans in the front rows in the early days were male, and as her career developed, it seemed to be more predominantly female fans at concerts. I'll try to look out for that next time I watch one of her concerts.
