Is this a screenshot of a thumbnail?
It is indeed, sorry about that. I tried downloading the full pic instead, but I found it via someone else's search and Google's been ass about that kind of thing in recent years..
Shhh shh it's ironically shitty this was a genius move Nothing to see here folks
I see Taylor, so far as my knowledge extends, as being amongst the best of the bad lot. She seems genuine and willing to do the right thing. The few recent legal hiccups screamed lawyers doing lawyer stuff, and she even dialed back the whole plane thing. I mean, I don't expect her to take a sailboat across the Atlantic to get to a show and god knows I wouldn't fly public with her status cause fuck that.
She seems okay and it's probably better to focus on the actual sociopathic wealth hoarding jackasses who we know cause way too much harm right now.
She has the money to save the lives of tens, if not hundreds of thousands of people through helping them out of poverty, funding food and medical care etc etc
A person deliberately choosing higher numbers in bank and stock accounts over this is a horrible person. Less horrible than actively harming and abusing similar amounts of people but nonetheless horrible. After all, if you see someone hurting and/or dying and make no attempt to aid (provided you have the means to do so), you are nearly the polar opposite of okay.
Yeah let's not be fooled by the one nice person among the tens of thousands of evil psychopats.

I agree on that. The best billionaire is still morally repugnant for being a billionaire, though. Every billionaire is a policy failure on the part of politicians and a personal failure of greed as well as alack of civic responsibility and solidarity.
She seems genuine and willing to do the right thing
I'd agree on that when it comes to being an LGBTQ+ ally and treating those that work directly for her well, for sure. Other than that, though, she seems to have a huge blind spot about how her own hoarding and other rich people behavior is detrimental to the people she owes her success to.
I mean, I don't expect her to take a sailboat across the Atlantic to get to a show and god knows I wouldn't fly public with her status cause fuck that.
Me neither, but she could just do fewer concerts and/or focus each tour on a narrow region to eliminate the need for traveling by jet between each concert.
The slogan "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" is in order of what has the greatest impact and by reducing or even eliminating jet travel she could reduce the amount of harm she does IMMENSELY before she even gets to the money part.
She seems okay
Other than what I conceded at the start, hard disagree.
it's probably better to focus on the actual sociopathic wealth hoarding jackasses who we know cause way too much harm right now.
She causes way too much harm too and its not like I and most other people don't criticize the others more. It's not a zero sum game where you have to either never criticize her or never criticize for example Elon Musk.
Showing TS my opinion of JPEG artifacts
I'm of the mind that she is of use to my current aims so I'm indifferent to her, but at the end of the day she is still probably not on my side completely.
I'll take her essentially speaking against Republicans and being rich if it means Republicans lose because of it.
No you see Ticketmaster scammed everyone and Taylor just happened to fall on a Billion dollars
Please be better
Go forth and meme friends
Everyone acting like the meme is OC and I had a duty to make it gorgeous 🤦
Could've at least made a photo of your monitor instead.
So, no guillotine pass for Taytay?
Nope. She has the option to escape by spending the majority of that dragon's hoard on improving conditions for the struggling majority, though, as do all other billionaires regardless of how they amassed far more wealth than is possible without abusive practices.
And not via the bespoke charity tax shelter loophole like most of them, either.
You’re gonna need to build a bigger gulag for all the Swifties immediately joining the counterrevolution.
Nah, I'm a prison abolitionist too, so definitely no gulag. We're just going to have to deal with the Swiftie hordes in more civilized ways 🤷
I keep seeing this showing up in memes. Was there anything particularly interesting actually being shown to her? Her expression is pretty funny.
This is the closest to a likely explanation for the expression I've seen or been able to find. Incidentally, that first link, the Lens search, is where I found the thumbnail of which this post was a screenshot 😁
