From consoling, comforting, gentle touches, a hug with heavy thoughts and heavy hearts to soothe the uncertainty.. but just a touch, the flame of need ignited, the want consumes them. Now it’s passionate, frenetic touches as kisses reveal - I have missed you, I’ve been dreaming about you, just you and me finally. I need you, I love you, allow me to show you how much. After the push and pull of their feelings, here they are and again how right it feels… I can have this again one more time. 💜💜

Actually— no I’m not done, I have more to say. The more time people spend writing articles about how Taylor Swift or Beyonce are “so astronomically rich” and “money-hungry” for putting out music, the less we talk about the men who have 500x their wealth, own the means of production, and make their money off of exploitative business practices that lead to the deaths of workers, abuse of natural resources, and genocide of populations. I’m over it.

[undersomeonesbed]

It’s not even just “not confirmed!” It’s a possible estimate based on some pretty shaky data. Taylor’s net worth, the amount of money she’d have if she sold everything she owns, is estimated 400-560 million. She has an estimated 63 million in liquid assets.

The assertion was that she could be a billionaire by the time the Eras tour ends, and that’s based off of the assumption that she’ll break her record from Reputation, the highest-grossing female tour of all time sitting at 345.7 million gross income. But— that’s gross income, the amount if money coming in BEFORE you pay your contracts, your employees, give ticketmaster a cut, pay the roadies, the backup dancers, the stadiums, the stadium workers, the merch table workers, the merchandise materials, the manufacturing contracts, the equipment rental, and so on and so on.

So, sure— if she broke her touring gross income record again and got to, say, 440 million, and at the most liberal of estimates she has a net worth of 560 million, that does equal one billion dollars, but that’s not her take-home money. Whatever her take-home portion of 440 million dollars is, based on the last few tours, is maybe going to add 100-200 million to her net worth, which is still 300 million + away from billionaire status… which is not to mention how much money she willingly gives away that lands her on the lists of most charitable celebrities every year, so it’s likely that even if she did take home that much, she’s not likely to hoard it.

And then, of course, on top of all of that— her most likely current net worth of 400 dollars is directly compared to Bezos’s in this graphic. And when you have to go more than five hundred people down the Real-Time Billionaires list to get to the people who have just one billion— the one billion dollars Taylor Swift does not have and is not likely to have— maybe, just maybe, someone else is the face of the exploitation of capitalism.
