One of these days I'll have to dig up one of her songs on youtube. The
radio station I usually listen to calls its format adult alternative. They
have a diverse playlist but I don't believe it ever included her. Maybe
she's not adult or alternative enough.

The other station I listen to announces itself as 'boomer radio' so that's
out.

Yeah, "dig it up" on youtube, you high-faluting drama queen! <tsk>

I've never listened to a Taylor Swift song and have no interest
in her music. I had very little interest in her at all, but this
radio show is a long-time fav and didn't disappoint with this
episode about her amazing business and marketing acumen.

It's tricky to live a capitalist lifestyle when you claim to be a socialist.

She did downsize from 2 planes to only 1. They 'only' cost about 45
million each.

I have not listened to any modern music. I am still stuck in the
1960's.

I can understand people like her preaching how she needs the private
plane because to her time is money. It would cost probably millions if
she got hung up on a commercial flight each time she went to another
city.

So does that mean I could get one of her planes at the used-plane price?

Me too. Although for me it's the 50's and pre-beatlles 60's. I also
like the 40's and probablyh the 30's but the services I have, like
iHeart, with "decades" radio don't include those decades.

Plus some of them, all of them with successfully booked tours, have
stops only a day or two apart. Traveling is tiring, even if you can
sleep on the plane, even if you have a real bed probably. Especially
this time. I think her flight from Tokyo was 12 hours and she could only
leave 16 or 18 hours before the game. Something like that.

But I still think most of them don't need private planes. There were
800 and something private planes that landed in Las Vegas for the game.

I saw on TV where the cheapest tickets wewe $ 7000. Not sure if those
were the scalpers or what the original tickets were.For those paying
those and up prices I can see why they took private planes.

It's ok for the libtard elite to burn 500 gal/hr of jet fuel as long as they buy some carbon credits to offset the climate damage.

However, the rest of us need to give up our gas stoves and lawn equipment.

BTW, did I ever tell you about the time I visited McCarran Airport? That
was its name for a long time, before Harry Reid died.

In college a friend from San Diego used to drive back and forth, for
Xmas break and for the summer. He also told me how he would play
Blackjack in Las Vegas and win a bit. He used _Beat the Dealer_, a book
about how to count cards, specifically picture cards, in order to win.

He offered to take me with him and I set to work reading the book and
memorizing the 3 tables in the book. We drove all day and all night
and arrived early in the morning, to a nice hotel. He and another
friend stayed one night and then I looked for a cheap hotel. I found
the only hotel in Las Vegas that did not have AC. I thought that didn't
matter because everyone knows the desert is cold at night.

But Las Vegas is no longer the desert. It was July 4th weekend. I
went to the local fireworks, nothing very big.

I paid for a week in the hotel and my week ended the night of July 4,
iirc, so the next day I planned to leave.

(Story about being picked up by gay guy omitted for space, but because
of that, I woke up late on the 5th.)

I didn't get out to the airport until noon, an dby then most of the
private planes had left. I wen to the private terminal, on the other
side of the airport from the public terminal, because a friend of a
friend had hitchhiked to Europe by going to an airport in Newfoundland
or thereabouts. So I thought I'd go back to Chicago that way. I asked
people nicely and no one was rude or hostile in return, but most had
left in the morning (to get to work, for one thing), others were going
to California, and one or two told me that their insurance wouldn't
permit it. I'm sure that was true.

After trying for 3 hours or so, I decided to walk to the public airport.
It was 4 miles (with my suitcase) if I walked on the road. 3 miles if I
walked around the edge of the airport, and a mile and a quarter if I
walked straight across the airport (You can still see this on google
maps,) In a classic example of how a 20-something can convince himself
that something stupid is really okay, I chose the last choice. At one
point a plane was taking off or landing and I patiently waited in the
grass strip beside the runway. I thought I was being responsible. But
a few minutes later a jeep pulled up and he had me get in.

He drove me to the terminal, no more walking needed, and I waited a
while while he threatened me and met with others. Finally, after a
couple hours or more, he told me because this airport was one of the few
that was not fenced**, they couldn't charge me with trespassing (or
something like that) and he let me go. I walked to the ticket counter
and bought a ticket home.

**The story always struck me as strange, since I started at the private
airport, which opened onto a taxiway, and if there were a fence, it
would not have been in my way. I don't even know if there was a fence.
But that's what he said. Maybe they just wanted to scare me and didn't
want the trouble of arresting or charging me.

**(and then calculate in your head the ratio of 10's to non-tens, then
look up the dealers' showing cards in a 10x10 table that you have to
keep in your head, then compare the number in the table with then ratio
you calculated and then use that to decide whether to take another card.
I could do all that in my head except the last step, and I never knew if
I was to take a card or not. I lost $40 in 6 days.

And then there are ramp and landing fees.

"Speaking to the Henderson and North Las Vegas airports, Hayes told BI there are about 1,100 slots across the two.
She said the airport slot doesn't come at a cost,
but both charge a special event landing fee ranging between $750 and $3,000, depending on the size of the plane."

Swift carts around with her an entourage of a *minimum* of 125 people.
Try booking seats on commercial airlines for that many people and fly
whenever you want. Sure, she could charter a plane but, if you have the
spare cash, buy a plane and go whenever and wherever you want. It would
be a tax deduction after all is said and done. In fact, given the
Dassault is a rather small plane, and the entourage rather large, Swift
probably does charter a larger aircraft on an "as needed" basis for her
tour entourage.

Taylor Swift is just another phoney libtard, I think.
There is nothing essential about seeing Taylor Swift perform live. She could easily perform on TV or PewTube.

Is she not genuinely worried about the global climate scam?
