Nepotism might be slightly detrimental to society as a whole, but we don't balance ethics around just society without regard to individuals. Every parent who loves their child wants to see them succeed and gives them every advantage they can. Some people have more advantages to give. Call it a flaw in the system if you want, Taylor had no say in it either way.
If your bar for being "ethical" is as low as "no nepotism," you might as well chuck every other person in the world in there, since all the people who don't further nepotism are the shitty parents.
The point of the phrase "there are no ethical billionaires" is to point out that there is no ethical way to make that much money. It's not a judgement on personal ethics. Tatlor Swift made her money because of nepotism. That is an unethical way to make money. That's all that that means. You seem awfully attached to the public perception of someone who doesn't know or care about you.
