Swift Economic Impact

Now she’s gonna save movie theaters too!

Taylor Swift is an industry

She’s a rare exception to my maxim that “that many people cannot possibly be right”

 

I don’t like her music at all but I like her a lot.

 

even these?

 

I'm happy that people can make that kind of money and make that sort of impact on local economies.

I remember Michal Jackson was about to make London's economy boom more right before he died... not trying to compare the two musically, just impactfully on an economy.

 

Jackson had booked a fifty (50) concert run in London, all at the O2 Arena (capacity 20,000,) when he died. All 50 were sold out, an amazing statistic.

 

She drove crazy voter registration numbers yesterday. I'd assume that's young female voters

Love it. Big fan even though I don't know a note of her music. Also doing her movie while following all union requirements

 

Hear she’s dating Travis Kelce. The breakup/revenge song will not go well for him and the ribbing in the locker room is going to be epic.

 

will they actually show up to vote if they can't just do it on an app?

 

The numbers she's producing are pretty surreal. Not my style of music, but it seems well done for what it is. She's obviously a very talented, driven and smart woman. So more power to her.

 

The 2020 election came down to like 45k votes over 3 states right? Or something like that? Bring em on

 

So far, younger voters, especially women, have spent the Post-Roe political environment showing up in huge numbers, leading to relatively consistent Democratic over-performance compared to either polls or historic performance. Happened again last night in both New Hampshire (where Democrats won a slightly Trump leaning open State House seat from 2020 easily) and Western Pennsylvania (where Democrats won a Democratic-leaning open State House seat by more than they usually do).

 

If she tells them to, probably.

 

imagine if we had online voting, the current version of the pub party would be crushed

 

Another reason I'm a fan even though I don't know her music. First, she rerecorded albums after Scooter Braun thought he would grab artistic control by obtaining rights to original masters. Love her agency.

Second, in the process, she is taking aim at ridiculous misogynistic slut shaming, tryin to embarrass a young woman in her early 20s that dated. We are deeply uncomfortable in our society with feeling the need to control women's sexuality - deep in the lizard brain. We never want to admit the obvious and unremarkable. It infects so much of our public policy discussion.

 

Saw an interviewer ask her what advice she'd give young songwriters. W/O hesitation she said, Get a good lawyer.

 

Smart. Just so much respect for her. Her music is probably good, but I have not gotten into new music since Nirvana. But mad respect for her

 

Turns out Swift is NOT dating Travis and his brother massively trolled him and the media. It’s going to be hard for him to get back over his bro for this..
