She was no longer an American anymore. She became Swiss.
She gave up her US citizenship. Pretty ballsy move of her.

Swiss tax haven?

She was still having to pay tax in the US even though she didn’t live there. Switzerland doesn’t allow dual citizenship. Perhaps she got tax benefits if she were a citizen. She got married decades later to her boyfriend. She probably wanted legal protection for both of them and perhaps save on taxes by being married. She lived in the UK for a time with her future husband. He then settled in Switzerland with her. Tina was accepted in Europe, not as much in the US, especially with the black community. She went where people supported her.share
Tina was going to be 84, the same age her mother died. She talked about that just recently. Her sister died at 74. She was ready to die a decade ago. She wasn’t fearful in the slightest.

Either this is worded poorly or the original poster is a race baiter. How was she not supported and accepted in the US?! She was a MEGA STAR who sold millions of albums to white fans, and black fans alike. She held huge concerts that were attended by both paying whites and paying blacks. By the 1970s she had become an American cultural icon and that status carried over for the rest of her life! Perhaps later in life she wasn't as huge in the US as she once was, but who is? Not many people can maintain THAT level of celebrity for their entire life. People have their time and then their time ends. That's the normal progression of being a celebrity.
