    With just seconds of followup research into a link in that same article you would have found: “…initial report states that Swift’s benevolence has extended to every corner of her touring ensemble. From backup dancers to caterers and audio technicians, it seems the singer was good to everyone working on the shows.”

    I know it’s very easy to hate her but she is about the most generous of them.

      You don’t amass a billion dollars by being the most generous. She can give money to everyone on tour with her and not get all of the people not on tour with her. What about the people working parking at the stadiums? What about the construction workers who built the structures she uses? What about the people creating the equipment she uses?

      She gives money to the people she sees and you give her accolades for hoarding wealth.

        So she went from taking advantage of all workers to not giving bonuses to enough workers even though she has been more generous than any other performer. Why is she even being talked about in this context when she should be the last to be mentioned on this subject? Pick literally any other performer and they have treated their workers “worse”.

          I never said all workers. I commented that your source was about 50 truckers and not as many as you implied. You then later talk about how it’s just so many but again it’s a fraction of the labor she leverages to make millions.

          She’s not going to send you feet picks for defending her on Lemmy. I’m used to billionaire boot lickers on Reddit but here it’s just fucking cringe.
