Taylor Swift is a musical artist who is currently on tour around the world performing songs from all her eras, also known as albums. She started writing songs when she was 12. When she was 16 she came out with her first album called Debut. She has 10 albums and is still continuing to make music. Taylor Swift is so famous that she has actually broken Madonna’s record for most people to attend a concert. With all of this money, she decided to give some to her employees. She had given all of her staff $55 million dollars the night of her show in Santa Clara (July 29th) to thank them for their hard work.
Taylor Swift’s dancers, singers, caterers, lighting, and sound technicians were all given bonuses. Including 50 truck drivers who got $100,000 each and a handwritten letter saying how grateful the pop star was. The CEO of Denver, Colorado Michael Scherkenbach shomotion trucking company even admits that Taylor gifted them way more money than expected. He said “The “generous” amount far exceeds the standard expected bonus. The typical amount is $5,000 to $10,000 each. So this large amount is unbelievable.’’ They were really pleased with this gift and really appreciated it.
Her fans think that this was very generous of her, but what do others think? 8th grader here at Rio, Leeanne Park says “She was very kind and generous. This proves that she is not only a phenomenal singer but a humble human.” She is so humble that she even wanted the tickets for concerts to lower prices on websites like Ticketmaster and Vivid Seats. She wants this for her fans who can’t afford the insane prices of her tickets. Leeanne also states “I think that she did the right thing. She was being very kind and no one can say that she was wasting money because her staff works super hard too.” Not even people who don’t like Taylor Swift would say that this is a waste of money. It’s for a good cause. Besides, this was a big help for all of those people.
She can really make fans and people in general happy by putting smiles on their faces. That is what superstars do. Well, at least an 8th grader here at Rio, Georgia Doetzel, thinks so. She announced “I think Taylor Swift is super kind, caring and generous. Even though most people don’t know her personally they already know what an amazing person she is.” Taylor Swift might be the most popular music artist in the world right now, but it’s not just because of her music. It’s because of her fun personality and her dedication and love for her fans throughout the whole world.
Taylor Swift makes around $9-13 million dollars a concert which makes it completely reasonable to give it to her workers. The Eras Tour concert is one of the best concerts in the world and is certainly Taylor’s best so far. Us fans just can’t wait for 1989 (Taylor’s Version) to come out on October 27th, 2023.
