General Taylor Swift discussion. Welcome all Swifties!
Bring your clown hats, your wild theories, and your hype, this community is for you.
Some basic guidelines:
So basically she met all of their demands for a self-funded film which will likely get a profit within a weekend. Seems like the demands aren't real profit killers like movie studios are saying. Who would have guessed.
Way go go Taylor. Really showing how being a good person can work while still making money
I don't follow her, but she pretty consistently seems like a smart cookie. This is badass.
Her major bounce back after Ye mocked her at the VMA just really gave me appreciation of her "IMMA DO ME SO GET THE FUCK OUTTA MY WAY" personality that has inspired many.
The way Swift stands up to the status quo and shapes it? I love it and support it.
She isn't a perfect role model, but then again, who is?
She also spent $50 million on giving bonuses to the crew on her eras tour. She values labor.
Terrible paywall on this article for me.
She is a union member which is why it matters, I don’t know that every concert film would need one. Other than filming the agreement also allows her to promote it despite the strike.
It is on the list of waivers under an assumed name. I like to think it’s the one titled “A Very Stinky Summer” because I can only imagine.
A24 also has waivers for a few productions, so continue to support A24.
n.b. paywalls hate the way i have my machine configured, and i only post links i'm actually allowed to read (i was very surprised i could read this one, frankly). sorry you got walled 😡
Holy balls
Wow. I'm not a fan by any means, but this is an incredibly respectable move - an example for the industry to follow. Holy Freakin Moley!
I'm still not listening to her music, but now I know I am ignoring the music of a very decent human being.
did you really need to mention twice that you don't like or listen to her music in order to compliment her? what's up w that
I'm not biased towards the artist, I guess?

“She came to us and said she wanted to do this, but only if she could do it the right way under a union contract,” Crabtree-Ireland said during a talk at a Toronto Independent Film Festival last week. “And we said, that’s great. And so she fulfilled all the same criteria as anybody else and has an interim agreement for that production.”
so whatever you think of her, the Writer's Strike is obviously down to one problem: assholes
common TaySway W
How do they know it’s "on tack to make $x"?
I think from pre-sale of the tickets
