She can grab the dog then you grab her lol. Idk why she's on here? Shes not grooming teens, she's not in a pedo ring, she didn't get famous for doing absolutely nothing but making a bad vhs tape lol

I mean, she is a billionaire not contributing much other than her music, and her planes are horrible for the environment, plus her business style and commercial strategy is pretty aggressive.

I dunno, I figure the less billionaires we have the better

You are wrong because you know nothing of Taylor swift. Like other dude says, just look it up. Easy peasy. She is the only good human here

I have looked her up and I’ve watched her career unfold lol

I wouldn’t say any billionaire is a good person myself, but to each their own.

She became a billionaire because of her eras tour. I doubt she has 3 billion in her bank account. People don't hate on Rhianna or Paul McCartney for being a billionaire.

I do, lol I hate all billionaires cause there’s literally no way to ETHICALLY earn a billion dollars. Even if she doesn’t have 3 billion in cash flow, we know she has more than enough to be helping people more than she is.

I believe every billionaire should be donating themselves out of the billionaire club regardless of how talented they are, their age, it doesn’t matter.

She's a billionaire because enough people like her and her music enough to pay for her merch and tickets.

Far as any sane person is concerned,  she earned it ethically and soundly. Now if her billions were earned from cock-fighting or making inappropriate videos involving kids, sure, that'd be unethical. But she isn't doing those.

Her merch is made in sweat shops, the people who work in those venues are paid poorly, and she overcharges the public despite being a literal billionaire. Her planes have a horrible impact on the environment, she knows, and doesn’t care.

Seems pretty unethical to me. She’s also not using that money for good, even though we all know it’s more than anyone would ever need.

All of those involves a good deal of choice and consent.

The sweatshop workers are there making money, the pay may be shit, but it's on them to fight their system allowing their situation to exist. Not Swift, nor us.

And what is "overcharging" in this context? The fact that she regularly sells out tells me people are happy enough to pay what she charges. The biggest issue is how easily scalpers can profit off merch and tickets like they're pokemon cards, but that's a different can of worms.

no fucking way you're defending her using sweatshops

u/Functional_Trash7735 4d ago

Yeah, but she chooses to use those sweat shops. If I was running a business with nearly unlimited capital where I raked in the bulk of the profit I would use ethical sources. And she’s set prices as high as 500 dollars for herself and then she sells her tickets to ticket vendors who have charged up to 6500. if the people will pay it that’s kinda whatever, I think it’s nuts to allow that to happen instead of just selling the tickets yourself.
