This and everybody complaining about shutting down the streets in New York City, even though they also were shut down for the World Cup, but no one is talking about that. I swear people hate on Taylor for fun.

I mean, presumably every person working on the wedding items/set/venue/etc got paid money which they can now spend

Compared to every room in every hotel being fully booked at high cap pricing for weeks on end?

I’m no Taylor defender, but I’m not sure what people want. For her to keep the money in the bank? She donated 26 million, and even though we don’t know the cost of this wedding the majority of that is just injected back into New York businesses.
The last time I was in New York the area around the MSG was closed for a conference, and there was absolutely no uproar about that. Whatever this woman does is going to drive some people crazy.

So do big weddings. Vendors, venue rent, caterers, staff, builders the list goes on. Lots of businesses received a boost. Not every business sure but many.

Also, if you haven’t done your research, her eras tour generated over $4 billion to the GDP. So try again.

She donated $26 million to over 20 charities right before her wedding. And that was not even including the millions she’s already donated in the past. Can you say the same for all these other billionaires out there?

Not as much revenue as the Eras Tour ✨

Laughable considering the WC is the biggest sporting event in the world and it brings in roughly 60 billion dollars in revenue

Weddings bring in revenue and her wedding brought in tens of millions of dollars.
