This being said on the same platform that basically every third person believes voters aren't responsible for their votes.

We can always assume people will be stupid, so I don't think they're gonna all stop wasting their money. Even if half of them did TS would still be a billionaire

If every single one of Taylor Swift's concerts were free, past, present, and future, she'd still probably be a billionaire. Artists don't really make that much on ticket sales, the ticket vendors and venues are the ones making all the money. Swift's net worth mostly comes from the value of the rights to her songs, not ticket sales.

I think you would be right in a lot of cases but does that apply when you routinely sell out these extremely expensive shows like are being discussed here?

Taylor Swift probably has it better than most artists, considering she's probably the most famous music artist on the planet right now, and even if you only make a small percentage off of ticket sales, a small percentage of an astronomical number is still a big number. I'd still be willing to bet the bulk of her net worth is in the rights to her music though.
