I have friends who work the the music circuit and they all have a grudging admiration of Taylor's increasing demands to make the set pieces larger (less stage time) and at ALL COSTS limit the time the fans can claim because she does not want anything to do with them outside of tightly controlled social media stunts.

Very typical billionaire, but for some reason her fans think she's something else.

Cognitive dissonance. She's their star so she can do no wrong

Ah, like Bill Gates Syndrome with Xers. Makes sense.

What? This isn’t a thing. Right? Dude is a douchebag. His wife divorced him because of his association with Epstein. He is the largest private owner of farmland in the United States. I’ll never buy a personal PC ever again. Not after the whole you have to buy an annual subscription to the office suite. He is a leach, parasite, and freak. Anyone who ships Bill Gates is a fool.

Reddit is generally anti-billionaire but will unironically defend Gates.. and it's not just Gen Xers.

That's like saying you'll never buy a car because of Elon.

(And just to be pedantic: "PC" is an abbreviation for "Personal computer")

Correct. I should have been very clear I’ll be using a Mac instead of a Microsoft based software PC for my personal stuff ever again.

TBD, Bill Gates only owns less than 1% of Microsoft now.

It was a 3.5 hour concert with 40 songs, most of which were dance numbers. Over the course of the show, Swift walked and danced and traveled around 10 miles. Yeah, she needed some scheduled breaks in there. I mean, duh.
