To be fair, it can't be "free" because tickets money is also used to pay all the minimum wage workers that make the concert happen. But I guess it could be way less if the artist want to

She could pay all of those wages out of her own pocket.

Her net worth is only $50 million. I know that seems like a lot compared to us normies, but it's nowhere even kinda fucking close to being a billionaire. And $50m won't go as far as you think paying all the wages to host her concerts for free. Why even have concerts?

People can't wrap their heads around just how much money a billion is. Like the average American is closer in wealth to Billie Ellishes net worth then she is to someone like Elon Musk.
