Good for her!
My son’s best friend bought two tickets to the Santa Clara show. He finally sold them last week for a $5,000 profit!
Yep. good for her. Always remember the people supporting you.
If one of the truckers reported this story, good for Taylor Swift!
But if her publicist reported this story, my opinion might change.
Yeah, I’m that cynical.
Very nice of her. But she’s still the Queen of Autotune.
How thoroughly extirpated our institutions have become of conservatism can be seen from the simple fact that even a completely banal, anodyne musical pop act is unapologetically left-wing progressive in its political pronouncements. Entertainment, in all its forms, across the spectrum, has been purged of conservatism.
Jackson Browne talked about them, Taylor did something about them!
“given a $100,000 bonus check after her show last Saturday in Santa Clara, California”
How much is ChiCom Cali taking out of that Bonus check paid in California?
I bet more than half-
She treats her crew well. This probably says a lot about her character although admittedly I don’t know that much about her. Right on.
“ TMZ says the nationwide tour has made over $1 billion in sales.”
In true journalistic fashion of the day…the writer confuses “gross” with “net.”
I think giving these guys a $100k bonus is great. I am sure TS isn’t going to miss the money, but these days people are so jealous of success there are people who will dump on this “pittance.” I mean, it’s not like the truckers were working for tips—this bonus was on top of what were probably decent Union wages.
That’s really swell. Really. Props to her. My admiration for her just went up a few points.
5.3/16 out of a hundred is getting there.
Ping!
She’s a leftist, but remembering the unheralded people who help you become successful is a good trait.
Boy do I give a c**p.
Certainly a GOOD gesture on her part.
However.. the decisions she supposedly makes FINANCIALLY are a result of DIRECT GUIDANCE by her Dad, Scott Swift.
Swift, when Taylor was young and the family first moved to Nashville, was an already SUCCESSFUL and adept Certified Financial planner and money manager.
I'm not intending to diminish her, BUT, any FINANCIAL GENIUS attributes bestowed upon her actually belong to her VERY INTELLIGENT father Scott.
The only other thing I can HONESTLY say, that has already been stated by someone else on this thread is, like Britney Spears, Taylor Swift is also "Queen of the Auto-Tune gang."
Her monetary SUCCESS and earnings are based on her PUBLISHING ROYALTIES, which she totally controls, and her MASSIVE and EXPENSIVE TECHNOLOGICAL STAGE performances.
To put it SIMPLY... if SCOTT SWIFT were your father you too would be RICH!
If she is an adherent to The Church of AGW religion, how can she justify 50 trucks burning petroleum just so she can sing songwriting?
