๐ค๐ฅSwift’s $100 Million Crypto Dance: Why Taylor Swift Skipped the FTX Tango Before Its Meltdown๐๐
TL;DR; ๐ฃ Taylor Swift was set to boogie with a $100 million tour sponsorship deal with FTX, a crypto-exchange that turned belly-up. However, FTX pulled back, leaving our pop queen twirling solo. It seems Taylor’s “Bad Blood” instincts might’ve saved her from a crypto calamity. ๐ธ๐ถ
Ready to dive into this crypto melodrama? ๐ฆ
Once upon a time, in the enchanting world of crypto, our beloved pop princess Taylor Swift ๐ค was ready to tango with FTX, a cryptocurrency exchange. As sources reveal, a juicy $100 million tour sponsorship deal was on the horizon. But this isn’t a fairytale with a happy ending. It’s more like an episode of “Keeping Up with the Cryptocurrencies.” ๐๐
If this deal had taken off, T-Swizzle would’ve joined the ranks of celebs who’ve endorsed crypto products and subsequently faced the music (pun intended) when FTX spiraled down the drain. Crypto crashes, vanished paydays, and a cacophony of legal battles – seems like a real-life version of Swift’s “I Knew You Were Trouble,” doesn’t it? ๐ถ๐ธ
So, why did this big money dance not go down? Apparently, FTX got cold feet due to the high price tag. Yep, you heard that right. FTX, founded by Sam Bankman-Fried – the same dude who’s facing 13 charges, including wire fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering, balked at the cost. ๐ค๐ฐ
Let’s not forget the potentially disastrous rendezvous with NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens). It’s said that Swift’s deal would’ve integrated NFTs into her tour ticketing arrangement. But, the NFT side-step was skipped thanks to some FTX employees who urged Bankman-Fried to kill the sponsorship. ๐ช๐ฝ
When we reached out to Swift’s camp, they chose to stay silent, maybe to keep this “Love Story” under wraps. Or perhaps, they just want to “Shake It Off”? ๐คทโโ๏ธ๐ต
Meanwhile, other celebrities weren’t so lucky. From Tom Brady to Gisele Bundchen, Steph Curry, and Naomi Osaka – many A-listers saw their investments vanish into thin air as FTX declared bankruptcy. And let’s not forget the likes of Jimmy Fallon, Madonna, and Kim Kardashian, who endorsed crypto projects and are now under legal scrutiny. Just last year, Kim K paid a hefty $1.3 million fine for not disclosing her promotional pay from a crypto asset, Ethereum Max. Ouch! ๐๐
So, the moral of this crypto-chaos? Perhaps, Swift’s “Bad Blood” instinct saved her from the perils of FTX and the volatile world of cryptocurrencies. But we’ll let you decide that. ๐ต๐ญ

Now, the big question: Would Swift’s deal with FTX have rocked the crypto world or led to another track on her ‘heartbreak’ playlist? ๐ค๐ฅ And more importantly, with the murky waters of crypto and celeb endorsements, do we need more clarity and regulation, or should we simply “Shake It Off”? ๐ต๐ฎ
