do people not understand the reason taylor swift is worth a billion dollars is bc of the valuation of her catalog? because taylor swift owns her own catalog, instead of it being owned by a record label. like yeah, sure, abolish capitalism or whatever, but ummm until that happens, SOMEONE will own art. and personally i think it's better if it's the artist, not label execs and shareholders who have absolutely nothing to do with the creation of said art. but whatever.

#like obviously she's incredibly incredibly wealthy #and i'm not saying she's not or that she couldn't hypothetically sell her life's work #but you have to be willfully obtuse to ignore the reason her net worth is so astronomically high compared to her peers #she's lucky enough that she's in a position to own her own work. not everyone gets that opportunity.#and it's weird that people act like it's all just profit from like. running sweatshops or something #like an artists work being valued highly is such a different situation than someone making money from other people's labor #like her MUSIC is valued at half a billion dollars #and this is just the music SHE owns. btw.#her back catalog that was sold away from her was $300 million. so.#like we can talk about shit like whether money should exist and that's all fine but like come the fuck on #taylor swift is not the root of evil in the world jfc #she should just make billions of dollars for OTHER people and then it would be fine #also it's weird that rihanna doesn't get this same treatment and her money is literally from running sweatshops but. ok. lol #it's just too obvious that people only gaf bc they hate taylor swift lmfao
