Well damn.

Being the same age as her, I feel kinda bummed out. If only I'd have been born with the good looks and capability to sing I could be among the worlds top 10 CO² producers.

Oh well.

criticism aside, it's still impressive

It also helps to have a rich dad who is a stock broker.

That's the real key. Look at Rebecca Black. She's no incredible beauty, and she can't sing, but having rich parents still got her famous.

It still blows my mind that 1/6 people on Lemmy took the time to downvote “billionaires bad”! Wtf are these people? Fucking rooting for the mega out of touch oligarchs? Lick the boot you fucks!

I mean, there's always a few temporarily embarrassed millionaires

Even though I really dislike Billionaires, but this is truly impressive.

Almost as impressive as her private jet addiction (though good to see that she cut the flying down from worst in the western world to just regular rich sociopath this year).

I listened to her songs out of curiosity. She's basically the Gen Z's Alanis Morissette in terms of lyrics that sounds profound on first hearing but is actually 14 year old's diary ramblings on further examination. Ironic.

Not everyone can be (or wants to hear) Bob Dylan or Paul McCartney or whatever lyricists you fetishize. It's okay. She can be massively talented (and you have to respect her business acumen if not her songs) and massively popular and still not be for you.

What business acumen? It's incredibly easy to become richer if you're already rich and famous.

That ain't ironic, but you know what is? Rain on your wedding day.
