I think it's because liberals tend to occupy positions of cultural prominence - big media, academia, entertainment - and thus have greater exposure to the general public and to conservatives themselves, making them appear more influential than they perhaps actually are.
I think that most Beyonce fans are too young and not political enough to have an informed opinion about it either way. They will thus bend whichever way the wind blows, and, in the entertainment world, the wind blows towards liberalism.

Right. There is no empirical data that backs this up with any serious strength. It’s everyone’s gut feeling and usually involves seeing less educated people (“stupid”) and children as having less moral agency than they do.

I think it's a given that: 1. The entertainment industry leans liberal. 2. The entertainment industry has considerable influence over the worldviews of the young and uneducated. I'm guessing you agree with 1 but disagree with 2?
