    Taylor Swift is not climate friendly, so are a lot of pop singers: very energy intensive …

      I’m not sure why you’re downvoted. For the Eras tour it took an entourage of approximately 90 semi trucks just to move the concert from city to city.

        nice that someone would share similar opinion. although i dont mind being downvoted, as long as someone would justify their opinion reasonably as to why they would think otherwise. i am open for debates really (when time allows ofc)…but just leaving a random downvote is not really convincing…

      I have heard this, and I can imagine it is true, but have you seen any analysis? There must be a large crew traveling and lots of equipment - transportation is a big user of petroleum in general – for entertainment. Though they say the entertainment is good.

        exactly. but oil is heavily subsidized and costs money to extract and refine, and mass produced enough to be affordable, making concert tours cost nothing, but it causes a big damage otherwise. how about make half the number of tours ? that would be a good start. or make an onlyfan equivalent, for singers ? sound idea if u ask me

            better fund energy transition and you’r welcome touring how much u want, but just dont act like a hypocrite and show false solidarity. but americans are in a whole realm of its own. sometimes i wonder to myself that americans deserve their lot sometime, also while fucking up the rest of the world in the process

      in fact thats kinda hypocrite: if she really wants to show solidarity, she’s ought to quit singing, but i doubt she has enough spine to give up the kind of income involved
