    First part fine. Yes nobody is forced to buy her music or strong arming an entire economy.

    Second part is a whole lot of bull and is glorifying what little stuff she actually does. Oh look at her ride private jets and live a life of luxury while she spends a couple of hours singing between being carted off in a limo.

    Calling celebrities “working class” is the most ridiculous thing I’ve read all day and I read a comment thinking that Trump would actually serve jail time.

      Because we’ve decided that it goes “working class” > “Middle class” > “uppler class” which should already reveal the massive problem right there. In reality it’s either you work(or cannot for whatever reason and should be cared for by society) or you grift and act like anything heinous shit done is some sort of contribution to civilization.

      Like it or not celebrities are still working class. They need to be taxed regardless of where their income comes from and yes, Taylor Swift doesn’t deserve private jet money or anything, but she can at least be said to work. It’s also true that the people who support her need to be able to afford their lives(I don’t know what they’re paid) and they absolutely should be getting a bigger piece of that pie.
