Three of those billionaires made their fortunes by stealing other's work and exploiting other's labor. I might dislike Taylor Swift's music but it is her music and her work that made her a billionaire. When someone stole her work from under her, she re-recorded it from scratch and then put on the most profitable tour in history with each show being 3+ hours long.

I'm not a Swifty, but I also don't think she qualifies to join that evil as fuck trio.

Hey look everyone! This person's a billionaire apologist!

I'm (mostly) joking.
You are correct that she is not on the aame level as the others but as a billionaire and member of the ruling class T-Swizzle has an elevated responsibility to the rest of the world. Instead of helping she continues her massive destruction of the climate.

Until she is leveraging her wealth to make positive change she does not get a pass.

Oh and buying carbon offsets doesn't count.

Okay but it's not a 1 woman show. She has likely hundreds of people employed she would not have succeeded without, yet she's about 1b richer than those combined

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Taylor Swift not like the offer from RCA so her daddy bought a record company?

Shoot them into the sun on a billionaire's space rocket!
