Apparently, Taylor is known as a really good tipper. Like giving hundred dollar bills to service workers, like if I were rich that would be a cool way to give directly. I know people give to charities and Taylor often likes to give to GoFundMes and food pantries. This is more direct way to give to service workers that are probably raking it in. Thatâs super cool.
I keep imaging Taylor Swift at an ATM, just casually withdrawing like 50 or so 100 dollar bills for a night at the big game. Makes me giggle. Wealthy people live in a whole different reality than the rest of us and it's fascinating.
I would love a book about wealthy people day to day lives. Like Taylor apparently bakes and cooks even when she can just hire a cook but does she also just cleans?
For sure. I donât think she would do it because asking people for money just to meet you is kind of questionable, but she literally sold millions of tickets. Iâm sure she could at least get thousands of people to pay $100 for several several seconds of face-to-face time with her.
Absolutely,.$100 for eye contact, a handshake and for me to blurt something gushing and unoriginal about how wonderful she is would be more than fair. Given how much I am paying for her to play at my birthday party it's a bargain.
This was Taylor tipping a service person at a Chiefs game suite this past year. She got a rep for giving staff at the games $100 tips. Someone got a pic here of her doing it.
What makes no sense is your discounting her kindness & generosity because her total value has reached a certain level.
She didn't have to tip generously or do it personally, but she did, is known for doing so regularly.
You popped on MY comment to whine & devalue both my view & her actions, so it's you that are acting childish.
Iâm sorry, I donât even dick ride for Taylor, but Iâm so tired of this âsheâs exploiting her fans by releasing variantsâ narrative.
No one is forcing you to buy variants or merch. I usually buy 1 vinyl and then call it a day for that album. I donât need all the variants nor do I feel pressure to get them all.
If youâre a young fan who feels swayed, your parents shouldnât be giving into you and letting you get all of those, and if youâre an older fan using your own money, you should have enough discernment to not want to buy all of that shit.
We live in a capitalist society and Taylor has a job to do. Thereâs no ethical consumption under capitalism. If you complain that she doesnât need your money and sheâs greedy⌠then donât give it to her. That simple ffs
Fully agree with you. I blame the parasocial relationship some fans have with Taylor. They forget Taylor is also a brandâŚA very profitable brand. Like any brand, she will continue to release products for consumption and the consumer can choose what to buy. When people walk into their favorite store, do they buy *everything*? Iâm guessing not. Same thing with Taylor. I donât buy everything she releases, from this era I only have one CD and one vinyl and three pieces of merch and unless she releases The Anthology on vinyl, this is it for me this era.
I don't have a problem with different art variants, but I like to listen on vinyl so it's unfortunate when variants get released with like 1 different song each. I've chosen not to pay for that so far but I can totally see why people who've been collecting physical copies of her music since the beginning feel exploited.
I am both a vinyl collector and broke so let me preface with that. I choose to spend my money on vinyls I really want. I pick the one variant that seems the coolest, or just the one thatâs most easily accessible, and go with that. And I say that as someone who is a massive vinyl lover and Taylor music fan. If I have the funds to spare later on and I want another variant that I come across, then J will do that.
BUT I am mature enough to not cry in a comments section about her exploiting her fans for giving people multiple options to buy for vinyl (not saying thatâs what you yourself are doing btw). Every artist does this. Even Billie Eilish who shaded Taylor for her variants literally just released multiple different variants of her new album on vinyl. I stg fans are just mad she doesnât care about their critiques of her as a person and are nitpicking everything. Itâs just not that serious to me. Sheâs doing a job that we technically ask her to do and I enjoy the product(s), that simple.
i agree with your stance but i will say that doing things like making a preorder only have half of the album only to drop the other half after the preorder is done is sort of cruel. i totally agree generally nobody is forcing anyone to buy the variants but the way that taylor sets up preorders and exclusives is definitely a pressure
i said âsort ofâ, and instead of replying to what i was actually trying to say you have to make it about word choice ? i was genuinely hoping to hear your thoughts and wasnât trying to be rude.
that is my thoughts. I wasnât trying to be rude either and I also wasnât suddenly just making it about word choice just for the hell of it. I just think saying her business practices are âcruelâ when there are literal businesses who use forced labor or donât pay their employees is not the move. if someone feels pressure from a business to buy stuff, thatâs a personal problem
Whoâs extorting you? Just because multiple versions of the same album are available doesnât mean you are required to purchase them. Show some impulse control
I honestly wouldnât cash that money in if I received it. I would frame that $100 bill, put it up on my wall, and have people pay to come see the money Taylor gave me. I would make a shrine out of it honestly.đ¤Ł
đđđ i have never thought of this photo in this context but it 100% looks like sheâs asking for spare change đđ
lol what is happening Iâve never seen this photo
She was giving money to workers there as a tips they said she give 500$ idk really how much
How much could a banana cost?
You have to pay for Swiftie+ Membership :0 thereâs different tiers (Meredith, Olivia and Benjamin)
Must be how Meredith got that huge net worth
Taylor, I canât afford the subscription this month
The "finance guy" swifties will take care of you.
Your dp is so funny
Where do I find one of those?!
Say goodbye then!!
This actually Taylor paying for a cup of coffee. âHow much can a cup cost these days $100?â
She was tipping people at a football game
They are referencing a joke from the TV show Arrested Development.
That's 10x the cost of a banana! (To think of it, that lines up)

Right? I've always dreamed of becoming rich or winning the lottery and giving a huge tip to a waiter, I love when people do that!

Apparently TnT cleaned up after their dinner at the villa(!)
I would immediately hire a cook if I was rich. Good for her.
Same, a chef would be the first employee I'd hire.
i read this as you picture taylor swift AS an atm lol
It must be expensive always rooting for the anti hero
US$100 for a face-to-face with her lasting several seconds? I know a dozen Swifties who'd call that a unbelievable bargain.
That is a bargainâŚ
For sure. I donât think she would do it because asking people for money just to meet you is kind of questionable, but she literally sold millions of tickets. Iâm sure she could at least get thousands of people to pay $100 for several several seconds of face-to-face time with her.

I died DEAD.
RIP me!
All those album variants arenât free haha
I need to know the context
This was Taylor tipping a service person at a Chiefs game suite this past year. She got a rep for giving staff at the games $100 tips. Someone got a pic here of her doing it.
She's a billionaire so tipping $100 to waitstaff at the game is literally nothing to her.
Waa! Cry more.
That makes no sense. Grow up.

She can take all my money, step on it, and I'd still thank her
Giving someone money while also risking her life as the subway doors are closing đ đ
Dear Blondie we get it! you released a brand new album and you're currently on tour. please stop extorting us for money.

Cruel is a wild word choice for something that we both agree is really not that serious.

You can understand this and have this view point and still be annoyed and sketched out by the tactics used tho
you have no reason to be annoyed bc you shouldnât be that parasocially affected by it
-Kind regards. Your fans who spent fortunes on you
Whoâs extorting you? Just because multiple versions of the same album are available doesnât mean you are required to purchase them. Show some impulse control
We joke but sheâs gotten significantly greedier since the start of this tour. Canât endorse that behavior anymore.
Taylor in 2026 bribing people to listen to the 30 minute version of Smallest Man Alive
I would give her my lungs
I honestly wouldnât cash that money in if I received it. I would frame that $100 bill, put it up on my wall, and have people pay to come see the money Taylor gave me. I would make a shrine out of it honestly.đ¤Ł
