lonnie Posted June 6, 2022 Posted June 6, 2022 5 minutes ago, Isaiah said: Rihanna being wealthier is irrelevant because the bulk of her wealth comes from the beauty industry, whereas Taylor has never cared about being anything other than a respected musician. Selling more "records" overall is also irrelevant, since album+ticket sales will always be much more indicative of respect and stardom than singles written by other people 99% of MPGs don't own their masters so using that as a dig against Taylor is pointless Her father was upper-middle class, but to pretend they were wealthy and living in a mansion is just a flat-out lie Buying some stakes isn't "buying a label" Owning stakes in a label that had never produced a superstar before doesn't mean your daughter is gonna become one, if it was that easy and simple then every rich dad in America would be making their kids' dreams come true. Try again! - Taylor Swift literally endorsed Coca-Cola, a company accused of hiring murder squads on trade unionists in Colombia. - Rihanna sold more records, doesn't matter what you think or how you spin that. Those are facts. - Upper class is literally wealthy. How many people can afford to buy stock in the labels their children want to be signed on? Taylor Swift is literally the only person this has ever happened with. - And having all your resources focused on one act rather than different people having to compete for them works better. Taylor was opening for big acts in her first era, had several music videos for her first album and a whole radio tour that happened for months. Things like those don't happen to debut artists and she's the only one that it's ever happened to. So it turns out that I didn't have to try anything after all 5 minutes ago, Mark Rih said: Apparently one troll member is enough to get them like this Then they cry when we finally retaliate.

sugarysunflower Posted June 6, 2022 Posted June 6, 2022 For the baby british-?’s here who don’t remember cos they were 11 years old, the tickets went on sale pre the release of Anti, during the AntiDiary escapade. there was no album in sight, just the droplets which performed moderately. Ergo, the tickets sold moderately……. She had to prove herself during the Anti era all over again.

I hate to break it to you but being the face/personality of a makeup brand that is largely run by corporate experts doesn’t even require a fraction of the discipline and drive Taylor has displayed over the last decade. Ms. Fenty can’t even make it to her own concerts on time, yet you expect us to believe she’s the driving force behind a business and not just the glorified ambassador

CristianGarcia Posted June 6, 2022 Posted June 6, 2022 Ppl don’t wanna see Rihanna perform but they wanna look and dress like her. That’s why she ended up winning in the end when Fenty Beauty dropped

Rihanna has sold out several stadiums (France, Chile, Italy, South Africa etc) and broke records being the youngest act to sell them out in several dates

While some random rich men make off money off the ones your fave wrote and didn't even record. Taylor being reduced to a ghostwriter of her own material, tragic I heard Rihanna turned down writing the Dora the Explorer theme song because it was too hard for her, is that true?
