So rich people can never be "good" people? It's immoral to own multiple homes? 🤦♀️. I'm sure the truckers who move her equipment who each got $100,000 extra for the Eras Tour would beg to differ.
Your premise is absurd. Tipping her crew 55 million is not nothing and neither is giving generously to food banks, the medical expenses of fans, etc., to say nothing about the way she boosts economies wherever she goes.
“The Eras Tour has been credited with boosting local economies across the U.S. Swift fans have flocked to the cities that host concerts to spend money on lodging, food, transportation, and merchandise. The pop superstar and her international tour also affected the global economy.
Overall, one analysis estimated the Eras Tour could generate $5 billion for the U.S. economy. At the same time, the U.S. Travel Association said that figure may be closer to $10 billion when factoring in the indirect spending of consumers who may not have actually attended the concerts but joined in on spending around the events.15
Swift's visit to Tokyo was expected to pull $228 million into the Japanese economy, with $162.7 million going directly to the city that hosted the musician.17 Her visit to Mexico City, meanwhile, was expected to generate more than $59 million, and hotels in Edinburgh, Liverpool, and Cardiff were sold out in August 2023 for the 2024 U.K. leg of the tour.1819A visit from Taylor Swift doesn't only impact a host city. Despite there being no Eras Tour concerts planned for New Zealand, for instance, Air New Zealand announced it was adding more than 2,000 seats, including new flights to cater to what it called the "Swift surge" in demand after Swift announced she was headed to Australia.20"
She’s spent 20 years building an empire on talent, hard work, business acumen, and making people happy and it’s paid off. Hundreds of millions of fans around the world love her. Being petty doesn't make you look insightful or intelligent. It’s just small.
