    Taylor Swift. Utterly mediocre pop music somehow gets her a billion dollars and the undying loyalty of like half the US population. If that isn’t some genie shit I don’t know what is.

      When daddy buys all your CDs when starting out so you get airtime. That sure helped.

      She was mediocre at first but shes been cooking pretty hard with her preformances and the scale of everything. I think shes earnt her billion. She could take over most nations with the army of fans she has.

          Starting out with limitless money and support, anybody could do anything they want. And that’s exactly what Taylor has done.

          You could say the same of Mozart. Lots of nepo babies turn out good work.

          The lack of opportunity is a problem for everyone else. You have to wonder how many Mozarts died in poverty.
