Indirectly? Absolutely. Directly? Almost certainly, but it would depend on what you mean by 'rally'.
Apologies for the typo, I meant really.
As to my understanding TS made so much money cause she couldn’t get her masters and recorded them herself and her fans bought them. Essentially taking the line share which would normally go to the record companies. I don’t see how that is a bad thing, but I’m open to learning how it could be.
You could argue she enables high ticket prices for concerts or whatever but again the artist is as beholden to TicketMaster and RockNation as the fans are.
I don’t know much about her charitable work, but I think if you’re a billionaire you could always do more, that said aside from giving it all away at once it’s pretty hard to lose money once you’re that rich.
She can certainly do more to be eco-conscious though.
I actually sound like I’m into her, which I’m really not. Just wanted a discussion.
Personally I think of she did something to deal with the absurd amounts of eco problems caused by her concerts and general mass flights she wouldn't really have any issues, at least that I'm aware of. As far as billionaires go, not bad.
One hell of an environmental impact though.
