… Swift’s team worked around the major studios—represented by the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, or AMPTP, in the ongoing labor negotiations—altogether when it came to producing and releasing Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour. The film was self-funded, with Swift reportedly spending $10 to $20 million to produce it and her parents working directly with AMC Theaters on distribution. … Though Swift’s film may not do Barbie numbers, she is set to break even more records when it opens next month. Already, it’s on track to make up to $100 million in its first weekend—and could open as high as $145 million, according to BoxOffice.com. That’s unprecedented for a concert film, and would put it in the top five theatrical openings this year.

    The good choice is her making a shitload of money, not really hard life decisions we are talking about here. This just suits her wallet and her brand, she isn’t a saint. Should I clap whenever she recycles?

      She’s making money while also supporting the right cause (strikers).

      We shouldn’t be against people making money. We should be against exploitation.

      Lol no. And you’re right: she ISN’T a saint. I’m just confused by the people who get mad because she’s not saving the world single-handedly.
