      I promise I’m not a swifter or whatever they’re called, but “at least” Taylor has to “work” for it, if a major part of it comes from selling and performing songs? right?

      Like I agree “billionaires shouldnt exist” - but she’s not high on my list of cruel offenders.

        Her shows are actually an insane amount of work, and it’s obvious when you watch them. My wife is a huge fan, myself not so much, but I can at least admit that her talent is undeniable.

        She does 3-hour shows Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, then does it again the next week, and she’s been doing that for over a year. It’s honestly nuts.

        And even between all those shows, she’s releasing a new album. If anyone actually works for her wealth, it’s Swift.

          Yeah, no one should be a billionaire but she is putting in some work. I could not do what she does and I respect her for it, even if I categorically disagree with the concept of someone accumulating that much proportional wealth.
