Swiftees Who Attended The Latest Taylor Swift Concert Have All Been Brainwashed
Taylor Swift is one of the most talented and popular artists in the world right now. She's got a seemingly endless list of bangers and she writes her own songs. What's not to love? Before people are up in arms about the title of this blog, let me go on record with saying I like Taylor Swift.
That being said, there has to be a line. We had two separate people and maybe even a third say they would decline TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS to not go to the T. Swift's current "Eras" tour in which she goes through her entire catalog.
I can understand she's on stage for about three and a half hours and she's a hero and idol to millions. I can also understand the vibe of 60,000+ people all singing the words to the same song can be euphoric. But let's not get lost in the sauce, TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS is life changing. You can choose to not work anymore. You can live beautiful life free of the cares and stress of the daily rat race and financial pressures.
And listen, Kelly Keegs is great, but I would not feel great about letting someone in this state make financial decisions with the only stipulation being that they don't get to attend an event that makes her do this.
So let me say that again, you can attend this amazing concert or you can SET YOURSELF UP FOR FUCKING LIFE. Again, not bashing the tour, it sounds like a religious experience for almost everyone that went. I have a daughter who is way too young to understand music superstars, but when she's at the right age if I have the means to take her to a show like that I wouldn't turn it down for a lot of money, but TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS is insanity to the highest degree. Have all the Swiftees been brainwashed?! Three and a half hours is an eternity to be on stage at a concert, but if she starts at 7:00pm at MetLife Stadium it's over at 10:30pm and you're stuck on NJ Transit trying to find your way home with a connecting train at the Secaucus train station with 40,000+ other people.
Sure, you're richer in your experiences in memories, but you're still schlepping to work the next week like everyone else. Except if you take the deal. And you extend that three and a half hours into a lifetime of freedom. Freedom to do whatever the fuck it is you want. No, you won't have enough money to buy a basketball team and rake in money at the gates and concessions, but you have enough money to buy your dream house and not stress about money ever again. Your kids will be set for life. Their kids likely too. You can take lavish vacations and trips and make countless other memories of your choosing. And of course it's easy for me to say because I didn't go to the concert and didn't have this life altering experience, but maybe it's really just easy for me to say because I have some common fucking sense and I'd set up my family for life instead of going to a three and a half hour concert.
