She's a symptom of a broken society. No musician alive is worth thousands of dollars to see. "From there, prices rise pretty quickly all the way up into the tens of thousands of dollars, with the high offering being for a VIP hotel package with four tickets for $24,173." That's fucking ridiculous - ThreadSky

For comparison, David Bowie died with $230 M to his name, after decades of producing seminal work that makes Swift look like a flash in the pan.

Btw, I listened through her "greatest hits"

Recommended listening: All Too Well(10minute version), My Tears Ricochet, the lakes, Marjorie, Guilty as Sin, and Peter. There are articles and videos analyzing the music and lyrics of all these and more.

Yea the hits are meant to be fun and catchy. They do have greater meaning but it makes more sense if you understand the whole narrative. Except “Me” no one likes that song lol.

That is due to Ticketmaster being a monopoly and allowing resellers to take advantage of ppl. I went to the Warsaw show for $200 in the first level of seats. Her concerts were not this expensive until the eras tour. She’s not the only one doing this but she gets blamed for it.

But she kept the money, eh? I don't give a fuck who it is, or what they do, or how they got it, all billionaires are bastards. Period.

If you want to judge her on simply being a billionaire I can’t argue with that but reducing her hard work to nothing special is where I draw the line. She worked very hard to get where she is but does she need all that money, no. And yet we still but her music and merch, 😅 oh well.

The child of millionaire stockbrokers. I'm sure she struggled.

lol again you’ve missed my point. She’s an accomplished songwriter and artist because she put the work in and finds other talented ppl to work with and learn from. That has very little to do with her upbringing. She could have peaked at her second album if that were the case.
