At 0.75, Felicia Day is the nearest neighbor in Jason Mraz's top 10 — and she's an actor, not a musician. That cross-kind pattern defines the shape: seven of the ten closest audience matches are actors, with Kesha (0.72) the only fellow musician in the set.
The shape flag here is two-peak, and the bridge runs between a dense cluster of actors and that single musician outlier. Ian McKellen (0.75) and Elijah Wood (0.73) anchor the actor cluster alongside Zooey Deschanel (0.71), Joe Manganiello (0.71), and Neil Patrick Harris (0.69). Kevin Smith (0.69) is the lone director in the top 10, and Bob's Burgers (0.69) is the only non-celebrity entity — a TV show rounding out a set otherwise composed entirely of individual performers. What unites this cluster at the subcategory level is not genre or medium but a particular flavor of pop-culture celebrity: actors associated with cult fandoms, genre properties, and LGBTQ+ visibility. Kesha's presence at 0.72 suggests the audience does carry a musician-shaped pocket, but it's a secondary signal against the dominant actor composition.
The overall picture is an audience whose shape is defined more by the kind of celebrity it follows than by the kind of music it listens to.
