Put on your listening ears because class is in session as we look at some financial lessons from Taylor Swift. 

For reference, this episode was recorded a week after Taylor Swift released 1989 (Taylor’s Version). The reimagined album has already secured the title of Taylor's biggest sales week ever, topping the original release of 1989. It's also the sixth-largest sales week ever by any artist.  

With the success of the 1989 re-release and recent news that Tay Tay is now a billionaire, it seems like the perfect time to dive into the album to see if there's anything we can learn and apply to our finances.
