My husband was in the music retail business when Taylor was starting out and she came to his business in her bus to do a “meet”. She was 16 and told him she “was going to be the biggest star”.

Even then….totally true story

Taylor is dong what record company executives used to do. She's very saavy...and gifted...and able to endure!

II'm not a "Swiftie," but I really admire Taylor Swift’s talent and marketing brilliance. She seems to have full control over her brand and career, which is incredibly impressive. It's no surprise that several colleges and universities are offering courses on her—she's a powerful example of artistic and business success, and an inspiration to women of all ages.
