celeb news Aussie music legend slams Taylor for price gouging, private jet use

An Aussie music legend unleashed on Taylor Swift on-air today, slamming everything from her ticket prices to her private jet usage.
Midnight Oil frontman Peter Garrett’s bed might be burning once Swifties get hold of him, after he offered some blunt opinions about Taylor Swift during a radio interview this morning.
Aussie rock legend and former politician Garrett joined 107.1 SAFM’s Bec & Soda today when he was informed that he was co-host Mark “Soda” Soderstrom’s favourite artist – in other words, “his Taylor Swift.”
Seems Garrett didn’t take too kindly to the comparison.
“I’m not price gouging like Taylor, to be blunt,” he said – as Soderstrom reminisced about attending a Midnight Oil concert in 1985 when tickets were just $15.90.

Quote

Standard-release tickets for Swift’s Australian tour ranged from $79.90 for G-reserve tickets to $379.90 for A-reserve tickets. She also offered fans multiple VIP packages, reaching an eye-watering $1249.90.
But some fans complained about the lack of added value in the packages, which included premium seats with add-ons such as a tote bags, collectable pins, stickers and postcards.

Sensing he was on a roll, the hosts then asked Garrett – a vocal climate change activist – what they made of Swift’s frequent private jet usage, which in the past two weeks alone has seen her fly from Japan to Las Vegas to watch her boyfriend Travis Kelce at the Superbowl, then out to Australia, then have the jet flown to Hawaii to collect Kelce and bring him to Australia.
“She’s not setting a good example. I’m sure they could sit up the front of a Qantas plane or a Japan Airlines plane and she’d still get a tummy tickle,” he said.

If you don’t even put his name in the title, he’s not a legend

We're bored of the constant complaints. Be quiet and save it for stuff that actually matters.

All of which are important issues that require focus / pressure on governments + major conglomerates. Post election surveys of our last election (Australia) showed climate change / environmental damage was the MAIN reason we voted for the government in power now over the previous one. 

 

Taking the focus away from governments and placing them on pop stars and plastic or paper straws is NOT helpful. Australians in particular are acutely aware of how damaged our environments have become, and I'm saying this as someone who lives close to the Melb CBD.
