That's big of her, not many industries want to pay truckers a fair wage.

According to various news outlets her tour may add 5bn to the economy.
I know so many of my (adult) friends who have purchased tickets for this year and next year.
Wasn’t there a shortage of truckers during the pandemic? Had clients tell me their drivers were being poached for obtuse wages and $50k signing bonuses
I wonder how many truck drivers received that $100K bonus
50 truckers. But $55M total for the other employees - https://people.com/taylor-swift-gives-bonuses-totaling-55-million-every…
TS is a BB, confirmed
Nah TS is on par wit CVP/Q
Wow that’s wild
Having to get a shit bonus so my MD has to pay the mortgage on his beachfront property in palm beach
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
The tour is estimated to gross $1.4 billion. She's probably taking home like $500M.
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.
sarcasm is not your thing
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.
