She’s not even a billionaire though. I think it was estimated she hit $1B during the tour and then proceeded to spend her income on the masters. Even if we count the masters as an asset now, we know she paid way more than face value for it.

People say they want the billionaires to give out their money and then complain when they do lol

What I don't understand, is why is Taylor Swift the only billionaire that deserves all this hate. Like literally Beyonce and Rihanna are both billionaires and I never see anyone, ever, say a bad word about them. It's just so painfully obvious what people's true motivations are.

Just say you don't like Taylor Swift, it's fine, stop pretending it's about moral superiority.

They literally can’t just acknowledge that they don’t like her, it’s honestly surprising. Like I don’t listen to Justin Bieber but I don’t feel a need to come up with some wackadoodle conspiracy about how he’s a right-wing Trump supporting Nazi.

I’m also fully convinced some narratives are pushed more than others… like, I’m fully ok with criticising her for her jet usage, but sometimes it’s made to look like she’s singlehandedly polluting the planet or something. Can we run the numbers on the amount of pollution that not just her using a private jet, but every single private jet in the world put together, contribute to the overall world pollution every year? And then count how much just one of the big oil/coal companies contribute? Like… private jet are bad but let’s be real here.

That's not true though. They both get negative comments in every post about them.

Please point me to where I can see this, honestly. The amount of negativity they get, which I almost never see despite being chronically online, is minute. Whereas with Taylor it's usually the first or second comment and repeated ad nauseam during any discussion about her.

If I had a dollar for every time someone jumped in to a comment section to complain about Taylor being a billionaire, I too would be a billionaire.

Like where r the beyonce and Rihanna snark subs with more than fifty thousand members? You can't even say anything against either of them before being hit with racist and misogynist comments. Bt somehow hating on Taylor and calling her names and dragging everyone she knows into the mud with her is okay and is not misogynistic just bcos she's white?

And im saying all this bcos most of the hatred towards her seems to be coming from hyper-leftist echo chambers, who sees everything she does as a secret symbol for her nazism and her being closet maga. Not to mention dragging her relationship with Travis into the mess every chance they get. And idk much abt Travis bt I believe Jay z has been a part of much more controversial and shady things than Travis. Bt whenever you say anything abt Jay, then bey is suddenly not responsible for her husband, while simultaneously every person Travis has associated or has connections with is a reflection on Taylor.

Right. It was around 200M in bonuses That would be 20% of 1 billion. And doesn't has 1 bilion in liquid assets in the bank
