Taylor Swift’s staff receiving “$197 million in bonuses” from the pop idol has reportedly created tension in the music industry. According to a source, her generosity has impressed the public but might have put other global icons under pressure. According to reports, crew members of other A-list performers could now have similar expectations. This came after the singer’s new docuseries, “The End of an Era,” was released.
Taylor Swift’s generosity has reportedly caused issues in the industry, claims source
Taylor Swift‘s generosity towards her staff has reportedly caused a stir in the industry. Rob Shuter reported that the 36-year-old gave “$197 million” to her Eras Tour crew, which seemingly didn’t sit well with her colleagues. “She’s setting an impossible standard,” one veteran tour manager claimed. This has allegedly raised the expectations of the staff of other megastars.
Recently, Swift received praise for a heartfelt moment she shared in her newly released docuseries, “The End of an Era.” She was shown to be grateful to her staff members as she handed out handwritten notes. Her generosity reportedly “changes expectations,” as per a source. They added that Swift could “afford” giving huge bonuses, but most artists “won’t.”
“If you think Jennifer Lopez, Mariah Carey, or Katy Perry are suddenly handing out six-figure bonuses, forget it,” a production insider told the outlet. They scoffed, mentioning that things don’t work this way in the industry.
Reportedly, Taylor Swift’s gesture has made conversations awkward for other artists and their staff. According to another source, everybody likes the “Life of a Showgirl” hitmaker. However, her move might make other A-list performers feel like “the bad guys.”
Meanwhile, the global pop sensation opened up about sharing the success of concerts and tours with those who “physically build and sustain it.” While Swift seemingly “redefined” fairness in the industry, an informant stated that now she “can’t put the genie back in the bottle.” Moreover, she reportedly seemed to be aware of the “ripple effect.”
