She's a woman. It's just misogyny. She actually does her best to make sure the folks who work for her are taken care of.
The fact that all the wealthiest in the world are mostly awkward straight white dudes who don't give a fuck about anyone but themselves probably hits too close to home.
If not Taylor, it would be Oprah or some shit.
Back when the directors and actors and everyone else in Hollywood was on strike, she got her movie made. She did it by the simple expedient of getting everyone together in one roomn and asking "What do you want?" They gave her their lists, she looked the lists over and said, "Great, you got it! Let's sign this thing and get to work!", and they did.
I don't like her music, but that's just music preferences and not a reflection on her. I have no issues with her as a human being.
I think some of it may be the generic "billionaires are bad." But there are many, many better examples to choose from. She is just a bigger name, more well known than many of them.
My wife hung out with her for the day as part of her job. Her mother was a bitch—my wife accidentally tripped Taylor over and the mother lost it—but Taylor was super nice. They were friends by the end of the day and swapped numbers, but neither ever reached out haha.
This was before she got super famous and was just some young country singer. I dunno if she's still the same but I don't see why not.
She’s still fucked up. Especially in relation to absurd usage of private jets and questionable carbon offset tokens.
But yes, most of the hyperfixation on her is way overblown and reeks of misogyny.
Do you have ANY idea how many celebrities do the same? How many CEOs?
People are clamoring on this one thing about her because she's a woman and she's wealthy. I couldn't give two shits about TS, but I can see when people are trying to have SOMETHING on her, when there is nothing really there.
The people I find who act like TS is singlehandedly causing climate change, are also people who actually don't give AF about climate change.
The best billionaire can go to the guillotine last.
you clearly didn’t read my comment because I’m mostly aggreing lol.
Take a deep breath, and actually attempt to understand what I said. Not just the first sentence, but my entire comment.
Uh huh. My response was to the first part of your comment.
I say that: Swift does fucked up stuff private jet. But the obsession on criticising her as opposed to all the other rich people reeks of misogyny.
You said that: Me critcizing her is wrong because so many other people do private jets.
My reaction: So you’re criticizing me by agreeing with me? Or you think private jets is okay? I’m confused?
I just didn't say you were wrong. I say other people DO private jets, are far older than her and have been using them for far longer, and that on the list of folks who are destroying our planet and eating up resources, I really don't think she compares. People just latch on her because she's a wealthy woman.
Tbh, I think we're agreeing but saying it differently. Sorry if I'm coming across harsh at you, but I'm not actually complaining about what YOU said. Mostly venting just to vent by pigging backing off your comment.
