Taylor Swift didn’t just fall off the turnip truck. In fact, she’s as savvy as she is musically talented, and the pop icon recently proved it by realizing the obvious; Sam Bankman-Fried is a moron and not someone worth hitching your wagon to, no matter how much funny money he was offering. 

Swift entered the conversation regarding the crash of FTX, as she was reportedly talking to the crypto exchange about sponsorship of her concert tour.  

The numbers they were throwing out were big, over $100 million, but talks ended earlier this year, thankfully for her. 

She and SBF’s company were discussing not only sponsorship for the tour but also planning to offer tickets as NFTs. 

Could you imagine? She’s already fuming over the debacle with Ticketmaster, and what if she was in business with a bona fide clown show that went bankrupt? It would not exactly be a shining moment for her brand. 

Swift is undoubtedly in a rare group of celebrities that turned down the boatloads of cash FTX offered her. 

And maybe she could smell a rat. Insider had a report that pointed out the lyrics from her big hit off her new album.  The song is called “Anti-Hero.”

I’m unsure when she wrote it, but maybe a particular frizzy-haired weirdo in cargo shorts was her inspiration. 

Did you hear my covert narcissism I disguise as altruism
Like some kind of congressman? (Tale as old as time)

The Financial Times reported that Swift knew Bankman-Fried last December, so it certainly is possible.
