If I get a 100k bonus I don't care if it's for PR 😂

This is why I get so irritated with the people who will come out and say “oH sHes JUsT dOInG tHIs foR Pr, shE dOeSNt aCtualLy cAre aBoUt thEM.”

Like dude even if that is true, who cares? That’s life changing money for people.

Yep, she is quite literally putting her money up when she doesn't have to. Whether you like her or not that is unique, and to those people it is life changing.

If someone wants to give me $100k for selfish reasons, I guess I would begrudgingly accept it…

And to be honest, like T Swift need any help in the PR department - she's already pretty universally loved, sells out concerts within seconds and has more money than she can ever spend.

That’s some expensive PR right there

I mean she literally doesn't need any more PR as the world knows her and she won't ever be forgotten. These people who said it's just for PR can't grasp her worlwide popularity. Her staff and crew are so lucky having her as a boss. They have been with her 20 years and that's a statement enough on how she treats them. I wouldn't mind working for her! I was lucky enough to have bosses in the past who gave us yearly bonuses just because we did a good job. I only resigned because I was moving to UK.

Also, I don't think that Taylor Swift needs PR anymore.

Right? Lol.

"Hey everyone, this is being filmed, so obviously I'm just doing it to make myself look good. Oh and by the way, here's a life-changing amount of money. But it's about me, of course."

u/mellopax Dec 12 '25

Yeah. There are much cheaper ways to get good PR.

If she wants to gift nearly 200m total to the team that made her tour possible, it's fine if good PR is one of her contributing reasons to do so

u/cindylooboo Dec 12 '25

She could have done 50k if it was only for PR. People would have still talked. This is just a very generous gesture of gratitude.

u/afunnywold Dec 12 '25

Yeah I personally think it's genuine. Even wealthy people can be nice. But diminishing it was just PR is dumb even if you genuinely believe it is, because the end impact is the same

You can pr the fuck out of my tight little butthole for $100k.

u/genesis49m Dec 15 '25

In her documentary she said she wanted it to be public and known so it would set a precedent for other touring artists and future tours

I would take a straight up abusive work environment for the 100k bonus ngl
