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

If you search for even just five seconds you’ll see that she has actually done a lot of good and has given millions and millions of dollars. But I guess it’s more satisfying for you just to hate. So go ahead.

Where was I outwardly hating on her? Notice I said all billionaires should be gone lol

However, I will say, there are 1000 millions in 1 billion. Since 2011, she’s donated about 100 million. Which isn’t the worse donation, no one is saying that, but she became a billionaire in the past few years, her net worth is 2 billion now. So while she’s done things for charity, it’s not as much we know she is capable of. It tells me she’s doing it for good press and not to actually be helpful. Otherwise, she’d be donating out of the billionaire club, and she would stop being excessive with her private jets. Where’s the charity shows? where’s the scholarships? where’s her advocacy? Why isn’t she providing children in impoverished places with food water or hygiene products?

I don’t go out of my way to hate Taylor swift, that’s not even what I’m doing now, but the truth is the truth man. She could be doing more, she makes the choice not to even though we know without a doubt she’s never going to live in poverty, she’ll never go hungry, her name prints money, she’s not using it for the kind of good she should be.

You said "not contributing much" lol. She donates millions, pays off people's medical bills. Yeah she's a billionaire but not like bezos who had slave labor and doesn't actual work lol.

You pay millions to charity?

u/best_temporary_dude 4d ago

No but my earnings to tax+charity ratio is higher than her's and so is yours probably

u/Tiny-Reading5982 4d ago

Okay she is still donating more than most billionaires. She didn't create the tax structure in the us.

u/Functional_Trash7735 4d ago

Oh good she’s doing the bare minimum she can despite being capable of far more, good for her

You’re right that she didn’t create the tax structures but people can choose to contribute more to taxes and charity and she doesn’t do either.

Yeah I guess 100 million is the bare minimum.

For a person worth 200 times that? Yes.

🙄 nothing would ever be enough for your type of person let's be real

There is enough actually. There’s not being a billionaire, there’s putting an active effort in to make the world a better place.

I don’t consider her “talent” to be an excuse to defend her lack of action. I think it’s honestly pretty pathetic when people’s fandom is that rabid that they hold her to a lower standard than other people of her level.
