Taylor Swift's wedding could have big economic impact
Now that she's engaged, pop superstar Taylor Swift's upcoming wedding with Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce could have a big economic impact nationwide. Stephanie Coueignoux talks with publicist and talent/brand manager Toni Ferrara on what's shaping up to be the wedding of the century.
The road to ‘The Life of a Showgirl’
The backstory:
"The Life of a Showgirl" follows last year’s "The Tortured Poets Department," announced during the 2024 Grammys and released during her record-breaking tour, which raked in over $2.2 billion across two years and five continents, making it the highest-grossing tour of all time.
The album is also Swift’s first release since she regained control over her entire body of work. In May, the pop star said she purchased her catalog of recordings — originally released through Big Machine Records — from their most recent owner, the private equity firm Shamrock Capital. She did not disclose the amount paid.
In recent years, Swift had been re-recording and releasing her first six albums in an attempt to regain control of her music. The project was instigated by music executive Scooter Braun’s purchase and sale of her early catalog. Previous "Taylor’s Version" releases have been more than conventional re-recordings, arriving with new "from the vault" music, Easter eggs and visuals that deepen understanding of her work.
