I like some of her older songs. She’s gone to the dark side now. I saw a video about her impressive grasp of business and marketing from her debut at age 16. At http://www.billboard.com/lists/how-taylor-swift-changed-music-business/taylor-swift-ticketing-reforms-strategies/ , the article explains the major impact she has had on the music industry on several fronts from reforming ticket selling to prevent ticket scalping to her loyalty to her fans to taking control of her artist rights.

She’s actually very Trump-like in her business thinking.

Older songs? Which albums? SPEAK NOW? RED?

I do have most of her CDs...At this time, I mostly play RED and LOVER CDs...While I am driving...

Many of her fans call her a "capitalist queen"...There is a Reddit section dealing with Taylor...

Sean Hannity did call her a very savvy businesswoman...Like President Trump, Hannity had no interest in starting a feud with Taylor...

“to prevent ticket scalping to”

Swift has not done too well on this point. The sales of this recent tour were by far the most SCALPED tickets ever.
I personally know two 50 something year old guys who joined her fan club years ago just to have the opportunity to buy her presale tickets.

FYI, they did the same thing with Hannah Montana years before that. One of the two guys formerly worked for a ticket resale company. Everyone who works for these ticket companies is a member of the fan clubs of multiple entertainers.

Swift has reached her peak. She is a very impressive business woman. It is hard to believe she will still be selling out stadiums in a few years. When she is 40 she will not appeal to teenage and prepubescent girls.
There will be some other pop star that will come along and be the next hot ticket.
