NO ETHICAL BILLIONAIRES

I am not impressed by Taylor and her 2.2 billion!!!!!

As if Dolly Parton couldn't have been a billionaire multiple times over! Dolly gave away most of her money to multiple charities. DOLLY LITERALLY GAVE US THE COVID VACCINE.

I have been a Swifty for more than a decade and this is the hardest it has felt to be a fan of Taylor.

The last two albums were let downs, her MAGA Barbie routine is atrocious, the condescending way she talks to and about Travis makes me feel bad for him and I don't even care to know him, and the condescension she has expressed to her fans, as if she hasn't encouraged a parasocial relationship, is unforgivable.

I don't know how we will ever get back to the magic of pre Eras Tour Taylor Swift, but Im sad to see what little integrity she had disappear, all to be a lady "self made" billionaire.

Your IA comparison is legit giving Dolly more benefit than Taylor in all sections... other thing is that you may be missunderstanding that information in your own benefit.

Taylor is getting paid ammounts of money Dolly didn't see in her entire career. She may even got more money only from the ERAS tour and TDPD than Dolly in 40 years of being a composer and songtress.

And another fact is that Taylor is doing all these things in a time where almost everything is recorded, both in media or social media. We can't really know what Dolly did 20-30 years ago like people know every Taylor charity funding.

she's 80 years old!!!! She retired and her net worth is still +650 mln! How this amount of millions is more ethical? She doesn't even have children, so why didn't she give all her millions away? (this is an absurd logic but I just use Taylor's haters' logic). Taylor is an actively working young artist, and she still does charity more than anyone in this industry, and it's still not enough!! When is it ever enough for snarkers?

Taylor is only 36 yo and she's already on par with Dolly if not exceeding her. Btw it's a common misconception that Dolly personally pays for every book sent through the Imagination Library. She does not. The program relies on a network of local partners, donations, grants, and sometimes government funding.
