Are You KIDDING Me?!

WARNING: Rants ahead.

So, I recently came upon Parade Magazine's "What People Earn" issue when I saw this shocking piece of information.

No, not that Ken Federico lives in Alaska, but that Taylor Swift, 21 year old TAYLOR SWIFT, makes 17.2 MILLION dollars. I don't know if that's yearly or what, but 17.2 million?! That's more than some, nay MOST people make in their entire lifetimes!

You're telling me that this girl...

...makes 17.2 million dollars? Give me a break. I mean, even Meryl Streep only earned 5 million for her brilliant work in the Devil Wears Prada. Sure that's not counting whatever else Meryl gets paid for, but seriously people!

Okay, Taylor seems like a sweet girl. I loved her on SNL and "You Belong With Me" is oft-stuck in my head. But does this girl, whose level of talent is debatable, deserve 17.2 million dollars? Really, does anyone deserve to make that much?

Celebrity salaries are quite ridiculous. With advertising sponsorships and movie salaries and record deals, it begins to get out of hand. Many of them do good with their money, but...I don't know. It's just out of control.

So yeah. Sorry Taylor, but I just had to rant. I loves ya, and you seem nice, but...for goodness sake! 17.2 million dollars? Ai Jesus. She's fine, but she sounds like a little girl. I'm sorry! So sorry!!!

I'm not gonna lie though...I love this...

Okay so pardon my rants. What are your thoughts on Taylor Swift, or the general state of celebrity salaries? Respond in the comments!
