She's a fucking billionaire, damn right she's a bad bitch, but clearly not in the sense that the OP was thinking.

Im no Swifty but has she ~~rally~~ really exploited people to get to this level of wealth?
Im just talking about the actual money here and not her carbon footprint or whatever.
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.
I want to include how she died, as it showed just how courageous she really was:
Two months later, on 17 January 1944, Oktyabrskaya fought in another night attack. The battle would prove to be her last. The attack took place at the village of Krynki near Vitebsk. During the battle, she drove her T-34 about the German defenses, and destroyed resistance in trenches and machine-gun nests. The tank crew also destroyed a German self-propelled gun. Subsequently, the tank was hit by a German anti-tank shell, again in the tracks, and was immobilized. Oktyabrskaya immediately got out of the tank and began to repair the track, amid fierce small arms and artillery fire. She managed to repair the track, but she was hit in the head by shell fragments and lost consciousness. After the battle, she was transported to a Soviet military field hospital at Fastiv, near Kiev, and then to a military hospital in Smolensk, Russia. She remained in a coma for two months before finally dying on 15 March. She was buried with military honors at the Heroes Remembrance Gardens in Smolensk.
As well as this gem:
In 2014 US National Public Radio featured a cartoon of Oktyabrskaya to headline a story about "rejected princesses" that Disney and other storytellers had hitherto ignored.
They buried her in a garden? Smdh
Shiii legend
No hate for Taylor Swift but she's not even the baddest bitch on the radio...
This but with hate for Taylor Swift
Yeah, she's maybe one of the least malignant of an entire group that desperately needs a French haircut, but she's still among a group that desperately needs a French haircut.
A dragon that eats fewer villagers than other dragons still needs to be slain.
... I mean, no, not the dragon, but the rest of it, yes.
Taylor "dont track my billionaire plane" Swift. She's out of touch unfortunately.
Find a woman who loves you enough to kill Nazis for you. <3
I'd kill nazis without love at all.
Shame, you could use some love for killing Nazis, it makes the society a better place if everyone can work the work they love to do.
❤️ Thank you Evil_Shrubbery ❤️
There's also literally any of the Night Witches on the Soviet side. I would include Joan of Arc, Captain Grace Hopper, Clara Maass, Ada Lovelace... basically any woman who actually did something.
Shit, if that’s not love then I don’t know what is.
We need her again.
Damn. That is a bad bitch.
Sick!
