I'm not going to say Taylor Swift is
0:01
overrated because otherwise we'll be
0:02
inundated with hate
0:03
>> Oh, come on. She's good. I think if
0:05
we're pro-growth we have to be
0:06
pro-Swifty. I'm not saying anything. I I
0:08
don't want to I don't want to be
0:09
targeted by
0:11
armies of angry fans.
0:12
>> I know someone who for the Taylor Swift
0:14
the Eras Tour a couple of years ago,
0:16
this person got there something like 15
0:19
hours early to be like at the very
0:20
front.
0:22
So the level of commitment which well,
0:23
it's it's powering this economy. It
0:25
might even be
0:26

that it might be inflationary. So it'll
0:32
be interesting to see if I actually ONS
0:34
data picks up on this uh in 6 months
0:36
time.
