People say she is self-made if they don't ever do any research. She comes from generational wealth.
lots of us could have been pop country stars if our families got us guitar lessens as small children and moved to nashville
but at a certain point she had to convince her family to invest in her Career.
There's a million reasons to hate on her, but having a shitty ancestor isn't one of them. I have awful parents and I'd hate to be judged based on their actions.
Modern success is built on historical suffering.
FYI I'm like 90% sure my grandpa was a CIA agent.
Interesting that the poverty and discrimination the early Italian immigrants suffered gets discussed and highlighted, but the padroni system got completely memoryholed.
What's the collective take on TS? Is she a fascist? I know, being a billionaire is inherently fascist, but is she ideologically dedicated?
She's one of those celebrities whose image is 100% invented by marketing people, no one has any idea what kind of person she actually is
Which means we can only fall back on wide-scale basics like that she is a billionaire and that she associates with monsters. So yeah she's a shit person, but whether she's actively evil or just passively evil I don't think anyone will know unless she pulls an Elon Musk and fires all her media handlers
the private jet is active evil
Having a known zionist officiate your wedding is the nail in the coffin, IMO. And it's not like he was her local pastor from her home town she grew up with and saw every Sunday. No, she goes with fucking Adam Sandler of all people.
Adam Sandler officiated her wedding??? That's just so goofy, like why??? The guy from click and 50 first dates?? 🤣🤦
Best theory I heard is that Travis kelce watched the water boy as a kid and decided that day he’d be both a football player and married by the water boy. And damn it if he didn’t stick to that 12 year olds dream
She listens to her publicists and very rarely makes any political statements because she wants to retain her maximal appeal.
Idk but her music sucks
I'm sure they were really close
Now that's interesting.
Continues listening...
~~I pirate all her music though for these reasons, she's big enough and, although I would consider myself a Swiftie, I don't really want to support her.~~ Dear NSA, piracy is wrong and you should own nothing and be happy!
So at least one of the her 30 most recent ancestors was a piece of shit. 2 parents, 4 grandparents, 8 great grandparents, and 16 great-great grandparents... I mean who hasn't shit in their genes, right?
That mustache is impressive ngl
I would not at all be surprised if fascist former mayor of Philadelphia, Frank Rizzo, had ties to this Baldi guy.
The article definitely explains why Philly area Italian Amerikkkans in particular are so chudded up. ISTG if Italy had a successful communist revolution right now, Philadelphia would become to Italy what Miami is to Cubans.
