It's hard to overstate Taylor Swift's power right now. This summer, she embarked on the first leg of her earth-shaking Eras Tour which is set to gross over $1 billion and generate $5 billion for the worldwide economy. The tour comes after Swift released three albums and three more re-recorded ones since the start of the pandemic, all of which took turns breaking streaming records. On any given night, hundreds who aren't one of the 70,000 lucky people with a ticket to her show stand outside the venue listening to the echoes of her three-hour, 44-song setlist. Throughout the tour, Swift was able to give each of her 50 truck drivers $100,000 bonuses and quietly donate to local food banks before each of her 52 performances. She inspired USA Today to hire a reporter whose sole job is to cover her every move. And, with just one Instagram story, she casually registered 35,000 voters.
She also maybe has a new boyfriend.
