Taylor Swift, her masters and when spending tons of money is good for your mental health
Taylor Swift, her masters and when spending tons of money is good for your mental health Show Caption Hide Caption Taylor Swift's no longer the youngest self-made billionaire Taylor Swift was once the youngest self-made woman billionaire at 35. The new record holder, according to Forbes, is Lucy Guo, 30, the co-founder of Scale AI. unbranded - Entertainment With one major purchase, Taylor Swift made her "greatest dream come true." The music mogul bought the masters to her first six albums after they were bought by Scooter Braun − someone Swift has publicly criticized − in 2019. Following Braun's purchase of her masters, the singer embarked on a crusade to reclaim ownership of her artistry, going so far as to re-record those albums and release them with the designation "Taylor's Version." But now, it's all over. Late last month, Swift revealed in a lengthy statement on her website that, thanks to negotiations with the private equity firm Shamrock Capital − and, presumably, a boatload of cash − all that music that once belonged to Braun is hers now. Shamrock Capital purchased the master rights to Swift's first six albums from Braun's Ithaca Holdings in 2020. "To say this is my greatest dream come true is actually being pretty reserved about it," Swift wrote. "I will be forever grateful to everyone at Shamrock Capital for being the first people to ever offer this to me. The way they've handled every interaction we've had has been honest, fair, and respectful." She added: "This was a business deal to them, but I really felt like they saw it for what it was to me: My memories and my sweat and my handwriting and my decades of dreams." Swift clearly has impressive business acumen. After all, she had the highest-grossing tour of all time. Forbes estimates her net worth at $1.6 billion. In October 2024, the publication designated her the world's richest female musician. What's clear from her statement, however, is that, for her, buying these masters was much more than a business decision (though financial experts agree it probably will help her make more money in the long run, too). It was about her peace of mind: Finally, she has the satisfaction of knowing her music is hers. What health & wellness means for you: Sign up for USA TODAY's Keeping It Together newsletter Let's be real: Most of us will never make Swift-sized purchases like this. That's because most of us will never have Swift-sized bank accounts. But the singer buying her masters, as well as her rationale behind the decision, does raise an important question: When is it wise to shell out major cash for something that holds deep meaning for you? When is peace of mind worth a dent in your bank account? It's a difficult question, and the answer isn't so cut-and-dry. "What she did was buying back her power, which is extremely emotional, especially for women, but it's so empowering that you're getting control of your own destiny back. For Taylor, it's a very big thing ... but she could afford to do that," certified financial planner Melissa Cox says. "For other people, people that don't have Taylor Swift kind of money, it's just going to depend on what it is that we're purchasing and why." Taylor Swift and what her masters purchase means Swift hasn't revealed how much she spent on her masters. Still, it's safe to assume those masters weren't cheap, with some outlets estimating the singer spent up to $360 million for them. A source close to the negotiations told USA TODAY any rumored price range reported is "highly inaccurate." But regardless, the sale price is sure to have been hefty. Kristen Kelly, co-founder of the financial education resource The Wall Street Skinny, says that, even though this purchase was clearly quite emotional for Swift, it makes good business sense too. The power of Swift's brand lies in her ability to control her narrative. Owning the masters to her first six albums is an important piece of that puzzle. More: Taylor Swift owns her music catalog following masters controversy with Scooter Braun "Her whole business, her whole everything is her brand. ... This was just such an important strategic decision for her overall," Kelly says. "Honestly, even if she had to pay more, I think it was probably still the right move strategically." Not to mention, the purchase also sends a powerful message − to the music industry and to other artists, both established and up-and-coming. "She's opened the eyes of other music artists as well, and, because she's doing that, she's kind of pushing back on the industry," certified financial planner Monica Dwyer says. "It kind of feels like the industry is more powerful than the individual." How to know when a big purchase is really worth it Though most of us will never spend money like Swift, the pop star's business dealings carry important lessons about personal finance, mental wellbeing and what purchases are really worthwhile. Sure, we might not ever buy master recordings, but we may have to decide one day if we're going to buy a dream car. Or a dream home. End of an Era: How Taylor Swift's record-shattering tour put fun, freedom centerstage Being able to discern when something matters enough to you to warrant its hefty price tag is crucial. "Let's face it, a lot of our decisions are not made by the logical side of our brain," Dwyer says. "The richer and richer you become, the less you have to worry about those little incidental things. The cost of our home repairs, electric, gas, food, those kind of things are not a thought in Taylor Swift or very, very wealthy Americans' minds." Here are some important considerations when deciding whether or not to make a big purchase: Consider the staying power of what you're buying. "You can spend money in the sense that you go out, you go to a Peter Luger Steakhouse, you buy steak, you eat it, it's gone," Kelly says. "This is something that she's putting money into, and it's holding value the same way you buy into a house and that value goes up." "You can spend money in the sense that you go out, you go to a Peter Luger Steakhouse, you buy steak, you eat it, it's gone," Kelly says. "This is something that she's putting money into, and it's holding value the same way you buy into a house and that value goes up." Ask yourself: Would I be OK if what I buy becomes worthless? "What happens if the value goes to zero?" Kelly says. "Is that something you can live with?" "What happens if the value goes to zero?" Kelly says. "Is that something you can live with?" Give yourself time to think it over. "Sometimes what I'll do is, if I'm shopping on a website, I will put something that I want into the cart, but I won't buy it," Dwyer says. "I wait a week and I say to myself, 'Do you remember even what you put in that cart?' And if it's still something you want, and you remember it a week later, then it's worth purchasing."

"I Lost My Faith In Humanity That Day": Adults Are Sharing The Wildest Things They've Had To Explain To Other Adults, And Yiiiiikes
Everyone's trying to figure life out, but common sense and knowledge do go...a long way. Recently, BuzzFeed Community members shared the things they couldn't believe they had to explain to other adults, and some of these are so baffling that all you can really do is chuckle: 1."I had to convince a college student that Louie Armstrong was not the first man on the moon." —bubblychicken804 2."I was at a party playing Cards Against Humanity when someone pulled a card that said 'Hiroshima' on it. She was so confused; she turned to me and asked, 'Who is Hiroshima?' I lost my faith in humanity that day." —Alex, 35, Nevada 3."My ex-husband thought that Christmas was on a different day every year, like Thanksgiving. This was in the '90s before smartphones, and we only had the internet at work, so the best I could do was show him a three-year calendar that showed Christmas always being on the 25th. In 10 years, I was never able to convince him that he wasn't right." —shinygoose103 4."I once had to explain to someone twice my age that chocolate milk does not come from brown cows. The amount of people in the US who believe that is incredible." —Anonymous 5."My brother thought that babies and moms were 'snapped' onto each other's belly buttons on the inside. He was in his 20s at the time." —Anonymous 6."My college-educated ex-husband thought that driving uphill meant he was driving north. He thought that since north is 'up' on a map, it must be the same on the ground. I asked him what direction we'd be heading when we crested the hill and went down the other side. He had to think it through for a long time before understanding." —Martha, 73, Florida 7."I had to explain to a man in his 60s that Japan is part of Asia." —deanf48acdde6c Related: Adults Are Sharing Their "I Can't Believe I Have To Explain This To Another Adult" Stories, And I Need A Break From Life After Reading These 8."I had to explain to a former sister-in-law that quitting 'cold turkey' did not actually include turkey." —Anonymous 9."In my mid-30s, I went back to school to finish college. I had at least three classmates ask if I was Italian, since my last name is Madrid. I explained each time that Madrid is the capital of Spain, and not a city in Italy. I just received blank stares from them." —Anonymous, 57, California 10."I had to explain to a coworker that going down on a guy wouldn't get them pregnant." —Anonymous 11."While preparing to move to Alaska, a coworker of mine asked what type of currency is used there. I told her that Alaska is a US state. She said she knew that, but she figured since it was so far away, they had their own currency. Can't make this up." —arcticbabe20 Related: "It Was Driving Everyone Bonkers With Mystery": 49 Times The Internet Came Together To Identify Weird Items That Had Everyone Completely Stumped 12."I had to explain to an older woman I was chatting with in a grocery store that, no, it is not the Democrats' position that being pro-abortion rights means you have a right to kill your baby after birth if you don't want it." —Anonymous 13."We asked our adult coworker to let us know when it was a quarter till one (12:45). Promptly at 12:35, she let us know that it was a quarter till. We all just kind of sat there, looking at her, before asking why she had alerted us at 12:35. She explained that a quarter till was 25 minutes before, saying, 'You know, like how a quarter is 25 cents.' She hasn't lived that one down since." —Anonymous 14."I had to explain to a NURSE that someone with a red meat intolerance cannot eat beef. She kept arguing that beef isn't red meat because 'it's brown.'" —Christina, 33, Florida 15."The number of times I've had to explain to people that West Virginia is a state entirely separate from Virginia due to the events of the Civil War is truly mind-blowing." —adrienoelle2258 16."I once had someone tell me that they didn't vote because the only votes that really counted were the ones from the 'college kids.' I asked if she was referring to the Electoral College, and she said yes. I tried to explain, but she said she learned what she knew from government class in high school, and she passed with flying colors, so I must have it wrong." —Anonymous 17."A man who claimed he'd been vegan for over five years refused to believe me when I told him that lactose-free yogurt is still, in fact, a dairy product." —paulau4fbdfb725 18."That narwhals are real. An adult friend of mine believed they were fake since they were called the 'unicorns of the sea,' and laughed at me for insisting they exist. Good ole Google helped settle that debate." —Anonymous 19."I was working in a law office as a paralegal, and the paralegal next to me said the US has 52 states. Mind you, we were both in our 30s. I tried explaining that there are only 50, but her response was: 'We have 52, and I'm not counting Mexico and Canada.' I printed out a blank map of America and gave it to her to fill out in her free time." —Anonymous 20."I once went on a date to see the movie, Titanic. My date was someone I worked with who, at 40, held a pretty prestigious position within the company. When the movie was over, I mentioned how tragic it was and how so many people lost their lives. He looked at me and said it was just a movie, so it's not like it happened in real life. When I told him that the Titanic actually sank, he refused to believe me and argued with me about it. Needless to say, our first date was also our last." —lunallee212 "That olives are NOT pickled grapes." —Anonymous Well, that was fun.
