A retail insider claimed that there was \u201cno demand.\u201d According to them, \u201cThis was a favor, not a phenomenon\u201d \u2014 a sentiment that reflected how much the power of celebrity endorsements has changed. Once upon a time, an Oprah stamp of approval could make a product sell out in a day. Now, it\u2019s not so easy to sway the shoppers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">A social media strategist compared the situation with pop star\u00a0Taylor Swift\u2019s, saying, \u201cTaylor Swift posts a cardigan\u2014it\u2019s gone in 60 seconds. Oprah posts jam, people keep scrolling.\u201d This shift showed a clear generational change in who steered online shopping trends. In the early 2000s, Winfrey\u2019s influence was capable of transforming small brands overnight, but today, it is influencers and musicians who dominate digital commerce. A brand analyst summed this up, pointing out, \u201cIn 2005, Oprah built empires. In 2025, Taylor Swift saves them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In the end, it appears as though\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/celebrity\/articles\/meghan-markle-might-change-cities-141009251.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Markle;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">Markle<\/a>\u2019s As Ever jam did not get the rebound it needed \u2014 not even from Winfrey. Despite support from one of the most powerful women in media, the product could not find momentum among modern consumers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Markle launched As Ever earlier this year as American Riviera Orchard.
