20. Sorry, but I have to disagree with the second paragraph

I really believe that it more follows the Biblical sentimant of "To whom much is given, much is expected". Whether Taylor Swift is or is not a follower of the modern Christialn bible, she seems to me to personify the idea of 'social responsibility" (something that is sadly missing from most of the "financial succesful" people in our society).
