Dancers say she lets them be themselves and have opportunities they wouldn’t have elsewhere. She pays her staff what they’re worth and has had many on her payroll for decades. Whether or not you like her music that’s all pretty admirable.

You realize most top notch artists do the same thing, right?

I really sometimes think some of you hardcore Swifties have never closely followed a top-tier musical act before, so you see things like keeping people on payroll for decades or paying out bonuses and act like that’s unique.

How old exactly do you think DCUM's average poster is? I imagine most of us are over 40, and yes, have followed music before.

Is anyone surprised Taylor’s mom helped get them together? I guess as Taylor’s “therapist” she thought it would be a good relationship for her?

"You've got to start doing something different," encouraging her to meet him, despite Taylor's initial hesitations about dating an athlete.

I guess Mom’s make the best matchmakers after all!

While I do think thos is marketing, people outside the "swiftie" culture have no idea how many of us BEGGED for all of the projects she released. There's this constant narrative of her exploiting her fan base, but we're constantly begging for new films, albums, and sneak peeks into her life. Shes given bonuses on previous tours and donates money to food banks in the cities she performs in. She did that before the decision to film this tour happened, that wasn't a choice for the cameras. It's refreshing as fans to get a look into her life that's approved by her and not fed to us by the tabloids. Everything she does is some cause for controversy for people who claim to not care about her and yet they're the people keeping the conversation going.

DCUM is such a cesspit. They're burning all the witches even if they aren't one.

Her attorney and manager got them together. Breakup coming in April/May after Kelce retires. Then she will write a ditty about the football jersey Her lover left and fans will act like it is so emotionally crushing and significant. Taylor speaks for all of them who have been crushed by their situation ships and hookups. She is just like them! They will all rush to download the single and book tickets for the "Melancholy" tour.

Didn't you promise to go away, and not come back until this projected break up happens? Shoo.

Get your tickets on pre-sale now! It is Tay as you have never seen her- raw, emotional, and speaking the experience of women everywhere ( or women who have been multi platinum artists and banged lots of famous dudes).

Is Taylor at the gane today to watch her "fiance" Travis ruin the game for the Chiefs?

People got sick of Oprah's self centered talk show after about 20 years and people will eventually get sick of tour documentaries with the central theme "Look how amazing snd generous i am."

People who are truly generous do not constantly have to advertise it as an ego and publicity boost.

The documentary is all about the tour itself, not about how generous she is. Watch it or don’t, no one cares.

The point is that there is an ego element in putting the bonuses in the film because then Taylor giving bonuses becomes a story. Plenty of celebrities give stuff without telling anyone, She could have given it without filming it but that would not get as much publicity. There is always a PR angle.

Yeah, but who cares. Everything Taylor does is going to have a PR angle, she’s the biggest celebrity in the world.

I’d rather her make news for giving insane bonuses to everyone she works with then make news for being stingy.

My point is everything this lady does does not have to be news. If she gave people bonuses privately people might find out but she had to film it for the Tay glorification. Girlfriend has an enormous ego that she constantly feeds with money from these forlorn 20 something who would buy Taylor's bottes bathwater.

I don’t disagree that everything she does is news. That’s what happens you have something like 250 million followers. But she would’ve made news if she was stingy and gave no bonuses, so it’s better to make news for doing something nice.

I love that she made it public. It just makes the other billionaires who are paying minimum wages and not giving bathroom brakes to their employees look like total psychopaths.

I agree and people already knew about the bonus thing and I always wanted to be able to see the reaction of the people that got those bonuses.

Im pretty sure everyone got 100 k each but she included everyone from truck drivers to dancers that equate to millions she gave away

You have zero idea what she has done without cameras.


That is because everything is a performance for the camera. She has to have 25 security entering an NFL game. Meanwhile Josh Allen's Oscar winning wife manages to go to a game without making a scene with security Funny how some famous people do not need to make a circus of everything.

I can't wait for the breakup announcement in the spring.

First I had to Google who Josh Allen's wife is, then I had to google who Hailee Steinfeld is (JA's wife). She was fantastic in True Grit! She didn't win the Oscar though, and she's never had the fame the Swift has - which is fine, but you simply can't compare one to another in terms of celebrity status, security or crowd management. [/quote]I love Josh Allen but comparing the attention his wife would get and Taylor Swift would get is super naive in your perception

DP. I’m almost certain (but could be wrong!) that the dancers got $750k each.

My god you’re right!!! She, a woman who doesn’t play professional football no less for the Kansas City Chiefs, is single handedly responsible for their season!!! Not the players, not the coaches! A singer!! By god you’ve cracked the code. Women. Women are responsible for men’s football performance.

You’re a dope. But you knew that.
