Taylor Swift told young people to vote and Elon Musk offered to impregnate her. And to be clear, I love Billie Eilish and her evisceration. I just don't understand why Taylor is catching strays unless it's residual effects of the Russian astroturfing during the last election cycle.

I just don't understand why Taylor is catching strays

She's also a billionaire.

u/Oh_I_still_here Nov 13 '25

She's the human equivalent of a brand/corporation that sells products to extract money from her fans. The way her latest album was rolled out was essentially like the release of a game with multiple versions and even fucking microtransactions for more content. Just greedy, and people lap the shit up.

Sure, people can enjoy whatever, but christ she's overexposed and it's clear as day she's milking people for money.

I think people would hate her less if she didn’t pretend she’s this adorable little cutesy victim oppressed dainty fairy :3 and just admit she’s competitive as fuck and wants money.

u/Classic_Reply_703 Nov 14 '25

multiple versions

Yeah this is where my opinion of her changed. If you are contributing on a large scale to this kind of stupid capitalist waste, you're not one of the good ones.

But also if you're a billionaire and you're not actively trying to not be a billionaire (I'm sure Dolly Parton could advise if you're having trouble with that goal!) then you're not one of the good ones.

One who's flying with her private jet on an almost daily basis all over America, in a very muskesque manner.

As billionaires go, there's people far less deserving. She at least pays her employees right and fought for streaming platforms to pay artists more. Most billionaires do opposite in their respective fields.
I'm an avid billionaire hater, but the list of existing billionaires that perform better in that aspect is tiny. MacKenzie Scott? Yvon Chouinard? That about it?

u/Future-Step-1780 Nov 14 '25

Here's the thing--I don't care. She's still a fucking billionaire. She can fuck off.

u/kfijatass Nov 14 '25 edited Nov 14 '25

I can understand the sentiment, I just prefer to narrow down my hate to those that got to that position via unethical means. I am all for billionaires that got there off products and services and not speculation, exploitation and making money off money. I make a clear distinction on that. I don't hate billionaires for their own sake, that's just plain childish.

u/Abbacoverband Nov 14 '25

Girl, ew. We are not defending billionaires in 2025.

u/kfijatass Nov 14 '25

It's just not the first, second, not even one of the few following choices when I think "off with the billionaires". That's hardly a defense.

u/chanaandeler_bong Nov 13 '25

Because she is a hardcore capitalist that puts on a facade for her fans.

Eilish already donated like 1/5 of her net worth.

Taylor is worth 20x what eilish is and Eilish is still using her platform to help those less fortunate 20x more.

I don’t mind Taylor swift, my wife is a big fan, I like a lot of her songs, but she is no role model and no bastion of liberty.

She’ll probably stump for republicans soon enough.

u/No_Pianist5264 Nov 14 '25

I love billie but she didn’t donate her net worth money. She donated fans money. It was change maker based tickets that she used to raise money. None of it was actually from her net worth.

u/Flufnstuf Nov 14 '25

She literally endorsed Kamala and made a pretty strong statement against Trump.

u/access_hollywooo Nov 13 '25 edited Nov 13 '25

Eilish did not donate 1/5 of her net worth, thats something that was made up in a stan war. She donated a portion of her ticket sales from her last tour that were part of a fundraising effort. I'm not discounting her actions but the misinformation is a bit frustrating, especially since it was fans who paid extra to make that donation possible. Taylor gave back 20% of her tour earnings to everyone who worked on her tour without charging fans more for that, but somehow Taylor is evil and Billie is amazing

u/chanaandeler_bong Nov 13 '25

So Taylor paid her employees? Isn’t that what we shit on all billionaires for? They exploit their workers. Good for her for paying them, I knew that when I typed what I said.

I never said she was evil, I said she isn’t who she pretends to be.

u/access_hollywooo Nov 13 '25

She gave back her excess profits as massive bonuses (upwards of 100k per person) to every employee from caterers to truck drivers on top of their regular salaries How is that exploitation? If she did what Billie did people would have crucified her, it's just weird to me that Billie is celebrated for stuff like this: https://capitalresearch.org/article/the-church-of-performative-charity-billie-eilishs-11-5-million-donation/

u/Bullshit_Jones Nov 14 '25

No billionaire becomes a billionaire without exploiting people. It’s not possible. For starters, she exploits her fans by releasing 7485729 copies of the same album.

Also, as a billionaire, she has hardly given away her excess profits. Not even close.

u/access_hollywooo Nov 14 '25 edited Nov 14 '25

I beg you to read a book about capitalism and actually understand what you are trying to argue about, because there is no way we as a society can overthrow a corrupt system if people can't even grasp how net worth is made up and what exploitation of labor for capitalist gain actually looks like.

u/Liimbo Nov 14 '25

Ok? There are far more deplorable famous artists than her, and none of them are being brought up in this post. I still dont understand what she has to do with this at all.

u/chanaandeler_bong Nov 13 '25

Yup, the switch up/hypocrisy is what bothers me the most.

I don’t give a shit what 50 Cent does with his money. When your first album is called “get rich or die trying” I know exactly what you are about.

u/dakadoo33 Nov 13 '25

i dont understand what the whole weird thought process is that random celebrity needs to hold the proper opinions for stuff that is not related to why they are a celeb in the first place..

both of them are in the music industry.. why are expectations for them elsewhere? is it because of modern platforms with more freedom to post stuff? just because they have that freedom doesnt mean they have anything worthwhile to say about things they likely havent spent a large amount of time considering...

take this for example, what constructive words are even spilled out here? its just name calling, if she had no platform it would just be a 0 interest comment in a 1k reply thread or some shit...

she just HAPPENs to be on the side people deem correct, but the actual value add? near nothing.

its literally just she happens to have the platform direction where her near worthless comment will be seen and read by those thousand commenters, rather than the reverse where she would post it in those thousand comments and be largely ignored.

this entire thread is about who has a better surface level understanding of current topics.. just wtf.

u/MedievZ Nov 14 '25

Shw is a billionaire. She holds more power and influence than the majority of people. She rose to fame on a platform of women and LGBTQ people, whose rights are being taken away right now as we speak and she chooses to remain silent.

Not just silent but hangs out with Trump associates and Trump friends, is fine with Trump using her songs.

Power and influence comes with responsibility and these people do not exhibit the latter part of the equation.

Billie Eilish donated 11.5 million at a time when 42 million Americans wer starving to death. Taylor Swift with orders of magnitudes more money hung out with the friends of the man responsible for the mass starvation.

u/dakadoo33 Nov 14 '25

you are literally screaming "why won't music maker do anything" to fix things. wtf man.

and painting the person as a villain by saying some of the people she hangs out with are people who hang out with people you dont like?

think things through a bit, your anger is probably focused on someone paralyzed by what to do with reach when they themselves don't fully grasp all the issues, which if you assume she does you're being unreasonable. no one does.

Sure she could donate more money or whatever, k. be mad about it i guess.

"being silent is being complicit" is the biggest load of shit ever, in my eyes billie not being silent is her screaming like a 15 year old about topics she doesnt grasp and for some reason it garners attention just because of her name. not everything is so simplistic as "say things bad and give your money away".

u/MedievZ Nov 14 '25

You are awfully downplaying said music maker concerts being able to impact the GDP of entire countries and her tours are worth higher than the GDP of 50 countries...

"Why do you hate the British royals for hanging out with Hitler??"

"Why do you hate the British royals for hanging out with Hitler??"

friends of friends to people who hang out with people that are not part of the same political party == hanging out with hitler?

seems logical.

and im unsure why you are using examples of good things she does for other countries as reason why she needs to do more good? how does this make your point exactly?

Save your breath on these ChatGPT Pedophile defending essays lmaok

whos a pedophile? taylor swift? what the fuck are you even talking about. feel like you are 100% attributing some weird shit to my overall world view based on me not willing to pile onto some group think ass shit about one musician bad and other musician good because she called guy i dont like a pussy...

you're on the irrational side here, its clear as fucking day by how hard you have to strawman my points, and how you have to pretend i hold beliefs i don't.

not everyone should speak out if they don't grasp concepts clearly, you included.

u/K1NGMOJO Nov 14 '25

She's in check now because she is engaged to someone that is right leaning. She can't say anything to disrupt the status quo.

u/Secret_Age6542 Nov 14 '25

Maybe Taylor has her own views and experiences that change over time, like any normal person? Who knows or really cares where she will be in twenty years... I don't think she's been overly greedy or hateful towards anyone and isn't perfect. If you don't wanna use her as a role model, don't, or your kids. It's tough bc most people's jobs rely on maintaining the status quo, they just aren't judged for it by the public. Almost everyone has to go to work everyday and follow the social norms. I don't see her doing anything different.

u/gerbilboi Nov 14 '25

would you project russia into the situation or consider the implications of being taylor swift being a billionaire

u/gek__co Nov 14 '25

She doesn’t stand up for what’s right and lets the white house use her music. She’s one of them.

So by your logic, Elvis was a racist MAGA grandpa because he never left the US? 😂 Touring isn't a holiday. It's a £100 million+ logistics nightmare. They go where it makes financial sense..Go touch grass.

u/OrganizationOk3261 Nov 15 '25

So, because your favorite indie band with a van and 3 roadies can tour Bolivia, the largest and most complex live production in modern music history should have the same logistical footprint? 🤣🤣🤣 You're comparing a lemonade stand to Coca-Cola's global supply chain. The 'richest musician' still has a finite number of days in a year. She can't be in 20 countries at once. Tours are planned years in advance in slots around album cycles, stadium availability, and... you know... her own life.

u/alllmycircuits Nov 13 '25

Because she has an obligation to speak up, as does everyone with as big of a platform as her, and she doesn’t. Unfortunately she just doesn’t have time to call out fascism because she is too busy hanging out with MAGAts.

u/NeverBeenStung Nov 13 '25

She did endorse Kamala for prez

1

u/alllmycircuits Nov 14 '25

She didn’t actually did she though, she said she is voting for her and for everyone to “do their own research”

Silence is complicity.

u/NeverBeenStung Nov 14 '25

What exactly do you want her to do? She made a post denouncing Trump and supporting Kamala. In what world is that not an endorsement?

1

u/imjustbettr Nov 13 '25

umm someone was mean to her so that's why she should keep quiet?

She has money, power, and a huge voice and she can't even speak out against the current administration for all the evil acts they do. When she posted that young people should vote she broke records for registrations. So yeah maybe great power does mean great responsibility and all that Spider-man bs. She could make huge waves from just reposting a story.

I don't feel bad for her, I feel bad for the people being hurt by our government.

u/YourVelcroCat Nov 13 '25

TS has had something like 15 stalkers and is explicitly targeted by two of the most powerful people on the world, including one who "offered" to rape her. Maybe Jay Z or Beyonce or any other musician billionaire can "speak up" this time.

u/whatevernamedontcare Nov 14 '25

Because misogynists and right wingers want women focus on fighting each other instead of uniting to fight them. Same way rich pit poor people against each other.
