    Looks as if she grew up in a comfortably upper class family. Maybe not mega rich, but they had money, a giant house, and land, and seem to have been able to use money to get her seen in the right places.

    Regardless, she clearly has talent far beyond simply coming from an affluent childhood.

      We have different definitions of mega rich. Stockbroker money, giant house and land… what other boxes need to be ticked?

        Because it’s quite ignorant. In no world is an upper class daughter of a stockbroker not filthy rich.

        Sure she has some songwriting talent, but would she be as big as she is without that generational wealth backing her from birth?

          Maybe? Dolly Parton had relatively humble beginnings. My wife’s school had a random band that made a decent splash in the industry with radio play time and record sales. Not Parton or Swift level, but still; they seemed decent enough but didn’t see anything to know why a label went for them over a bunch of other similarly decent acts.

          Celebrity can be weird sometimes. Sometimes you see someone pour all sorts of resources in trying to be ‘popular’ and fail, and sometimes you see someone come randomly out of nowhere.
