Oh, what has she done though? Did she steal a painting or something? Spill some of that artistic tea, Duo!

Nope! To the best of my knowledge as a fellow learner, "artist" is some kind of performing artist while "konstnär" is more of an artist that creates tangible things.
Maybe someone threw rotten fruit at them :P
Why not "The performer's guards run after the woman"? We have established that in Swedish, artist means a performing artist and not, for example, a fine artist.
And Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii will always love youuuuuu... Sorry, got the vibes.

Is "bodyguard" the same as "guard" in this case? - Because I unsuccessfully tried that :)
I think "bodyguard" is pretty much exactly the same as "livvakt" in Swedish.
The guards 'belong' to the artist, that is what the genitive 's shows in English, and in Swedish, the s ending. One way to see this is that you can rewrite the expression to say The artist has guards or Artisten har vakter but not the other way around.
Ooh, ticky tricky Duo, but not today! I am to you! Sneaking in a possive like that. For shame!

That could be illegal. The bodyguards can protect the client but I don't think they are legally allowed to just run after people and hit/detain them or whatever

It seems that the performer's guards should be accepted here. Is there a different word for that?
Shouldn't bodyguards also be accepted here? What other kind of guard does an artist have? Or can the work vakt in no way be interpreted as livvakt depending on the context?
