How Mighty is Taylor Swift's Pen? (3x35)

Air date: Dec 03, 2014

Check your cynicism at the door!! We're talkin' bout Taylor Swift today. The mega-popstar seems to be OWNING the music industry lately, with her killer new album 1989, her decreeing of Spotify's deficiency, and her general awesomeness and authenticity. Connected to that authenticity, much has been noted about Swift writing her own music, so could her power of the pen be the very source of her industrial power?!
