The people who very loyally buy her tickets and her songs. She is rich because her product sells a lot. That's it. If I made a product that sells a lot, be in high demand, and had a fanatic following, I would be rich as well.

How does she go to so many shows so quickly?

Lots and lots of private jet flights. Also planes/trucks haul tons of gear all over the world. These are sources of resource extraction that show her to sell so many tickets in so many places.

She also cut a check for $100k (of her own money) to each of those truck drivers on top of their normal pay as a thank you.

What people are saying is there's a lot worse people who deserve the scorn.

Lmmfao, ok, temporarily embarrassed millionaire, you keep telling yourself that..

What is less funny is that you think the people who are manipulated by a trillion dollar industry re to blame, and not those running and profiting from said industry.

You are definitely a bigger part of the problem in shifting the blame the way you are, than any one of her fans buying a ticket or an album trying to enjoy their wage slave life for an hour or two.
