A brief YouTube commentary (by Chris Collins) recounts that Taylor Swift reportedly gave roughly $1 million each to about 179 crew members (dancers, truck drivers, and other tour staff), totaling nearly $200 million. The speaker uses this anecdote to argue Swift prioritizes creating a special, different show and rewarding contributors over simply maximizing profit, invoking the motto "mission over B.S.".
There's a part in there, too, where she gives everybody a check for a million bucks. And it's like, what is it, like a crew of 179 or. Yeah, it's like a little under 200. She. So it's almost $200 million. She gives everybody on the crew, so the dancers, the truck drivers, everybody working on the tour, a check for a million dollars. And if you just think about her priorities for a second, right, is her priority isn't to make the most amount of money. Her priority is to put on a show that is special and different. And she's willing to share the money with the people that are helping her do that. She wants to reward them for the sacrifices toward the, the mission. Yeah. Right. And it's I mean, there's that Seattle Seahawks saying that is mission over B.S. right? Mobile.
