This just in - Business having its best year ever pays better bonus than business at a cyclical low. More at 11. 

Seriously though, super cool of her. She’ll probably personally take home 9 figures from this insane tour, and it’s always great to see the people who are driving revenue show tangible support for everyone in the background who made that possible

 
Funniest

it's more competitive being the truck driver of Taylor Swift than getting into BX/KRR/etc.

also, imagine this story incentivizing people into some type of entrepreneurial path along the lines of "I will work hard as a truck driver for 10 years so maybe one day I will be the truck driver of a famous signer and get paid $$$". New type of threads may start to appear in the following years around WSO: GS vs. truck driving

No.

I've been bombarded on social media with women playing videos of themselves at absolutely gargantuan Swift concerts. I just don't see the appeal, and I say that as someone who loves bubblegum pop and female musicians. Her lyrics are garbage and her melodies aren't really that catchy. I've never understood the appeal. And what's even more bizarre is that she has crazy, obsessed, radicalized adult female fans, which is extremely atypical. That kind of fandom for female artists is usually perpetuated by minor girls, or by adult women for male celebrities. So, it's a weird phenomenon.
