Regardless, if you like or dislike the music of Taylor Swift, as someone studying business you cannot ignore her.
For my part, the music does not necessarily rock my boat, yet what she and her management entourage (especially her father) have achieved (she is a neo-billionaire) is impressive.
If you are interested, a good starting point is this article in Vogue Business.
Last week, I finally also fell a bit in love with Taylor Swift (please don’t tell my girlfriend).
It was not her music, not her money, not her looks, it was her endorsement of Kamala Harris. Funnily enough, as I really don’t like Donald Trump, it had nothing to do with the political side, but that she stated the following:

For all the students out there, I highly recommend downloading the Espresso App from the Economist, it is for free for students and it will give you a daily update on the world news – with a clear separation between news and analysis, so you can make up your own opinion, just like Taylor Swift did.
On a side note there is an article on Taylor Swift in the Economist in which her business acumen is portrait as rather ice coldly.
For all students at New European College in the Wittenborg University of Applied Sciences programs, please don’t forget that you have free access to the Financial Times. Which has endless articles on the business side of Taylor Swift for your research.

And if you don’t know what this about, well then do your research. 😎
Wishing you all a good start into the week,
