    She must be the wrong type of millionaire or something

    She isn’t one at all, she’s a billionaire, and she’s definitely not a fucking victim.

    If anything, it’s her fellow billionaires not getting enough shit, not her getting too much.

      She is a paper billionaire. She is worth all that money if she sells the rights to all her songs, which she just remade to reclaim her rights to those songs, so she isn’t interested in selling.

      She might be worth a lot, but she doesn’t have thatmuch because autonomy is worth more to her than money.

      She’s not hurting, that’s for sure, but she doesn’t have money like people say.

        Every billionaire is a paper billionaire. Like the others, she can borrow against the value of her assets.

        Even if she did have the cash, she’s an artist who makes things that people love. You don’t need her art to live like you do healthcare and food so as much as I hate billionaires, she’s not anywhere near the same level of bad

          And you, like, see her recording new albums and performing it live on tours, building an image etc. It is more labor than most billionaires do even though she’s well-assisted. Most fucking golfies delegate their stonks to professionals and do nothing beyound socialising with equals and hearing from serfs. In a sense, she’s a medieval noble that don’t just burn through her wealth like there’s no tommorow but also indulge herself in art that makes traction outside of her bubble, regular people resonate with her music and that itself gives her some significance. School curiculum on humanities are filled with the likes of her.

            Yeah, there’s nothing abstract about how she got her wealth. We all see her do the things that make her money and it doesn’t involve fucking people over. Can’t say the same about most billionaires

              And she’d probably be less uncomfortable about forteiting her wealth while securing her comfort and a way to keep creating and singing for people. At least that’s what I idelastically think about artists going rich.

          Guess I just reserve my ire for worse people. She works her ass off and produces actual stuff. Compare that to the CEOs of any billion dollar company who just try to milk every cent out of their customers they can.

          I’ve never seen Taylor. Never bought any of her merch. I’ve given her nothing (maybe some portion of my Spotify sub), but I get to enjoy her music. That’s a pretty good gig where the main thing you do can be enjoyed by all almost for free and you still have that kind of money.

          There are so many worse people on the planet I don’t understand hating on her at all. But you do you. I don’t have energy to hate you either. Have a good one.
