Taylor Swift is greedy; that's not a bold statement. All of our pop faves are. However, claiming she is the most greedy is random and arbitrary. It's also not an interesting argument. We accidentally learn that she declined an offer an offer to perform for the UAE. It could be because the offer was too low. It also could be because she doesn't feel comfortable given the many reasons one might not want to perform at the UAE. Pretending any of us know the true answer is silly. Arguing about the actual true reason for this decision is even sillier. There's nothing to argue or debate here. I hope you don't seriously compare a greatest hits album or a live album to Taylor's rereleases… yes she is greedy just as much as any other pop girls, that was exactly my point. Read my replies again because I never stated she is the greediest..

At least know who you reply to! 17 minutes ago, mrpartyrocker said: You need to be more humble and know your place. You can't talk about greedy artists when Taylor herself would sell her own pants for 10m and you would buy that. So what else was that supposed to mean then? The only one being a Karen here is you making an issue out of nothing. If OTHs get to take jabs at Taylor then swifties get to reply to them. Stop randomly asking people to humble themselves 1

Y'all just feed off your own narratives and insecurities

Are you implying that Taylor is rereleasing her old music just because she wanted to Taylor is greedy in many ways but rerecording her old music is not one of them. Literally any artist that you know will take any opportunity to promote and sell their own work. If she was this greedy she would have decided to not release her rerecordings in streaming services and just inflated the prices of her albums instead. Edited April 11 by Rence 1
Nintendoes Posted April 11 Posted April 11 They should try to invite her again but don't let her leave the country

Her releasing the rerecordings and selling them in 30 different versions is not greedy?

They are rereleases of prior work to make extra coins. The Taylor rereleases include more new music than the average greatest hits record includes to promote the album.
KatyPrismSpirit Posted April 11 Posted April 11 Taylor likely did not refuse to perform there for moral reasons. She is definitely not going to perform for only $9million when artists like Rihanna and Beyoncé get $15-$30million for these events. If she got $35 million she would probably perform in Dubai or Qatar. 1

Speak Now has 3. 1989 has 4. Literally no one is forced to buy them all because there is no incentive to do so unless you're a vinyl collector with no life whatsoever But go ahead and use hyperbole to support your nonsensical arguments 2
Saint James Posted April 11 Posted April 11 you guys are reading way too much into this. it's more than likely someone in her team read the email, replied no after a quick discussion, then everyone moved on with their day

Rep2000 Posted April 11 Posted April 11 1 hour ago, cat1867 said: Taylor has never done private shows. Yes, this. The last time she performed like a private show-ish is like 2019 or something.

She literally dated a Nazi and continues to refuse to use her immense power to speak up about the vulnerable people in her home country outside of vague social media posts. She is not worried about ethics. It was the price was too low. And I agree. $9m for someone on a tour grossing nearly $2b is an insult. 30 minutes ago, Riverbank said: Interesting conclusion. Did she tell you that personally? Context clues? Are you people being purposely dense? Acting like the woman who teamed up with Capital One to convince her fans to go into credit card debt just to see her live is now suddenly the paragon of morality? She is a businesswoman. Money comes first. Edited April 11 by Sannie 1
