Swiftenomics – level 1

08-01-2026 07:00

Taylor Swift is a very famous singer. Her tours, albums, and products make money for cities because fans buy tickets, travel, and hotels.

People call this ‘Swiftenomics.’ She can sell tickets for high prices because many people want to see her and there are few seats.

She is honest and real. She writes about her life. She helps women feel strong. Taylor keeps changing and sells albums in smart ways, like giving many versions to fans.

She tells stories about women from the past. This helps fans see that women can be strong, smart, and do well in music and life.

Difficult words: ticket (a paper or digital pass that lets you go to a concert, show, or event), honest (telling the truth and showing real feelings), version (a type or form of something, like a different copy of an album or song).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
