Tom Dunne's Music & Me: Taylor Swift and when you wish upon a star
Taylor Swift at the Grammy Awards in 2008.
Well I’ll tell you one thing: I wouldn’t swap places with Taylor Swift for all the record breaking Spotify streams in the world. I may only have three gold disks, medium sales in a small market and a hard-won understanding of HiAce vans but at least the people I met in music were mostly decent! Unlike, well, you know who!
That said, if I’d been dependent on the income said ‘decent people’ had made for me from my music, I'd have been broke a long time ago. And, the one person I met who said he could get us a deal, nay could ‘guarantee us a deal’, without seeing or hearing us, had spent time in jail, but still: mostly decent skins.
