I’d be curious to hear an actual Marxist analysis of Swift’s relationship to the means of production because it’s clearly different than the owner of a company.

For one, Swift is actually a major contributor the production and is actually necessary unlike CEOs. She also doesn’t have control of the stadiums that she performs at, so it’s harder to say that she’s profiting off of their surplus labor.

While it’s true that she obviously couldn’t do this stuff alone, I’d like to see an analysis sketched out for celebrities or prominent athletes in general.
