Summary
In this episode, we're digging into the leaked emails from Taylor Swift's dad Scott Swift, the lawsuit from her first manager (who also happened to manage Britney Spears), and what all of it together shows about the "origin story" of Taylor Swift - why we don't consider her a 'child star' and how much of her brand has been managed by her parents.
