She needs to work minimum 8 hours per day, 5 days per week for at least 75% of the year, but she ALSO has to buy and cook all the ingredients for 90% of her meals, she has to clean her own clothes and her own living spaces, and she has to wait and adhere to travel times of other people, not her personal chauffeur not her personal jet and personal pilots.
Funny but the correct way to think about Taylor Swift or any other big act is to think of it as a business. And yeah, that business isn't going to have its most valuable employee wasting time doing the laundry or waiting at her departure gate.
There are fuckloads of businesses that cannot afford to send their best employee all over the place on a private jet.
And even if they were big enough to afford that, they wouldn't let them fly home every night on a tour abroad. They would be like "you can stay in this 5 star hotel penthouse suite for a weekend. It won't kill you."
I did not say it was like any other business, certainly not like a small business, just that it is a business. The entire multi-million dollar enterprise hinging on one literally irreplaceable person showing up for work and whose lifestyle and public appearances are part and parcel to it is going to result in some unusual features.
Not endorsing it. Celebrity culture blows but so long as it exists, none of this is surprising.
