WOW this writer sounds super jealous..Im guessing this person got a serious case of wedgies and swirlies in high school. Taylor Swift is a huge lib who supports Hillary Clinton and dated a Kennedy, guess libs want her to pay her “Fare share”

Linda Ronstadt came from an equally wealthy family. I don’t remember anyone saying that disqualified her as a singer.

Oh, she’s definitely guilty and should be sentenced to home confinement. My home happens to be available. :=)

It wouldn't surprise me for the lefties to start doing this in the media to all of Hillary's big money supporters in Hollywood.

Maybe Taylor Swift isn’t handing over enough cash to Hillary’s campaign, so lefties are sending out a warning to lib celebrities, pay up or we will go after you..makes sense..celebrities in Hollywood vote overwhelmingly Democrat, why, because they know their money is safe, they will never have to cough up the cash like the left demands from everyone else..if those same rich celebrities had to give up 70+ percent of their wealth you could blink at how fast they would switch their vote to GOP

I don’t get this article. The bio of Taylor Swift is both interesting and even inspiring. The author seems to be desperately seeking some unexplored angle of elitism to denigrate this performer. If you have to try this hard to dig for dirt, hey, maybe there is no dirt. Good for you Taylor! Her success doesn’t bother me. Why indeed should it? Just don’t go all Bette Midler or Cher on us, preaching about how we the public should live our lives.

1. She’s sexy without being slutty.
2. Her family’s love can be replicated by many with less resources.
3. She works hard and is not a brat.

What I don’t get is why is this ‘file sharing’ even permitted? It’s ruining the recording business profits. I think this is one instance where the laws have yet to catch up to the mighty forces of the internet.

Her biggest fault i see is she supports Killery??? Otherwise, continued success. She is an amazing talent.

I think a lot of it could be shut down if various governments around the world would cooperate. But these file ‘sharing’ sites can be set up just about anywhere in the world. It’s definitely taken billions out of the music industry over the years and only the artists who can draw good crowds touring do really well.

And what better way to reconcile the contradiction – to inject a bit of rebel cool into the story – than to make a millionaire daughter of the plutocracy into an underdog?

That's the template.

I was reading an article in the gym about Paul Simon. The writer really played up the idea that nobody thought he would succeed after Art Garfunkel left to pursue an acting career, and how wonderful it was that Paul Simon triumphed against the odds and in spite of everything.

Believe me. Nobody thought Simon was the one who was going to have career problems after the break-up. Probably nobody thought he'd be the one with problems after he and Carrie Fisher broke up either.

I’m surprised he didn’t mention “white privilege”.

In reading articles here over the past year, they are applying this "privilege" idea quite broadly. There have been articles that progressives want all school kids to eat all meals at school, because it isn't fair that some kids are "privileged" with parents who cook, or other articles lamenting that some children are "privileged" with two parent families. And the way to fix things is not to encourage more two parent families or more parents who cook, but to tear the good behavior down. Only having test tube children raised in government pods will even remotely satisfy the privelegists.

Uh Oh, they’re going after Taylor Swift

She’ll have to come out in vocal support of gay marriage and socialism to not have them ruin her career.
