Whether you love or hate Taylor Swift, no one can deny the pop star’s influence. Swift is making waves after giving a rare interview, and her appearance on her boyfriend Travis Kelce’s podcast already has nearly 20 million views on YouTube in just less than a week. But her resurgence to the top of people’s social media timelines has also prompted another wave of online criticism, particularly from left-wing voices on TikTok, that is nothing short of unhinged.
One of these fanatics is attacking Swift for the apparently horrific crime of being financially successful. Viral videos were quick to remind viewers that “eat the rich applies to Taylor Swift,” claiming that she “doesn’t give a shit about the global poor” and that “there’s no such thing as an ethical billionaire.” Others scolded Swift for not giving her new music away for free, seeing as she already has so much money.
