Taxes gonna eat her UP.
Will they tho?

Normally, high taxes means extremely high income, which is a good thing. However, she's probably has very smart accountants to where she is an employee of her personal corporation, which owns her assets, and therefore is personally taxed off her much lower salary.

So why is this an issue?

PS: Give me $4.1B and I will happily pay whatever the taxes are on it.

Her and Beyoncé music are so forgettable. I was listening to Jody Watley’s Real Love and Friends and I was just blown away by the bass line, coherent, simple but pure lyrics. The hooks are so catchy and creates this ear worm you never can let go of. Taylor and B have yet to create music with that kinda lasting legacy.
Bey Hive and Swifties are in here. Everyone take cover, save yourself!!!!

How many people did it take to write Bootylicious? Like twelve or something. Dumbeat song ever.

Both have some great songs (though Beyoncé is far more talented as an actual singer and performer). Beyoncé has honestly been on a roll with her last couple of albums Lemonade and Renaissance. Taylor is more hit and miss - Lover and Midnights are extremely mediocre, filler heavy albums, but Folklore and Evermore were great. Love them or hate them though, both have cemented their legacies. Personally though, regarding pop music, I prefer pop singers like Rihanna, Bruno Mars, and Adele -- people who release quality music and don't make a big spectacle, they just let the music speak for itself.

"Bootylicious" has 4 songwriters, one of them being Stevie Nicks because it sampled her song "Edge of Seventeen."

And then there's this lyrical masterpiece from Queen

Bicycle, bicycle, bicycle
I want to ride my bicycle, bicycle, bicycle
I want to ride my bicycle
I want to ride my bike
I want to ride my bicycle
I want to ride my bicycle, races are coming your way

I truly couldn’t listen to more than 30 seconds of Jody Watley’s Real Love. Never heard of her and never will again for the rest of my life. Any song from the entire discography of Beyonce or Taylor is better 😂😂😂

Beyonce:
I'm 'bout to explode, take off this load
Spin it, bust it open, won't ya make it go (come on)
Yaka, yaka, yaka, yaka
Yaka, yaka, yaka, yaka
Yaka, yaka, yaka, yaka
Yaka, yaka, yaka, yaka (release ya wiggle)
Yaka, yaka, yaka, yaka
Yaka, yaka, yaka, yaka
Yaka, yaka, yaka, yaka
Yaka, yaka, yaka, yaka (release ya wiggle)
Ahh (release ya anger)

La-la-la-la (release ya anger)
La-la-la-la (release ya mind)
La-la-la-la (release ya job)
La-la-la (release the time)
La-la-la-la (release ya trade)
La-la-la-la (release the stress)
La-la (release the love, forget the rest)

You won't break my soul
You won't break my soul
You won't break my soul
You won't break my soul

Jody:
I said I would get over you
Now I'm here out on my own
Trying to live my life
And now you wanna come back
But I don't need no brand new lies, listen up

I want a love that's serious
No time to play love games
I don't wanna be nobody's fool
So if you wanna be with me
You gotta give it up

Real love
I know I wanna have one
Real love
Gonna try and get some

Real love
Everybody needs one
Real love
Got to have real love

You judge for yourself. But Beyonce's lyrics would burn a hole in my head.

this is such a cheap comment. you picked a few repetitive snippets from Beyonce's catalog and you want to be taken seriously? I don't even LIKE Beyonce and I know she has better lyrics than your little selection there.
 
sidepoint
Geddy Lee of defunct Rush now is getting more exposure than he was with Rush!
he has a top seller book, a semi-series TV show and was on that CBS Sunday Mourning show.
his every muscles are getting tense!
 
So … apple is giving you a chance to exprierence what it’s like to be dumped and then have a song written about you.🤪
yeah let me throw up …😭
I do have to say that, while dating her would definitely be a status raising thing, I certainly never would do it, partially because of precisely this. (The whole paparazzi and Swiftie business are other reasons.)
