The storyteller also spoke about Swift’s amazing success as an entrepreneur.

“People laugh at the fact that there’s a college course on her in business school,” he said. “It should. What she’s done, what she’s doing and how she’s doing it, no one has ever done it before. How much control she’s taken. And she’s doing it all herself. No one has ever done that before. It works. And it’s a great model.”

He praised her for her hard work and discipline. She famously trained by singing her songs while running on the treadmill to prepare for her Eras shows. The tour has been a phenomenal success since it launched in March 2023, breaking records including the highest-grossing concert tour of all time. It doesn’t end until December.

“She’s obviously relentless about running the whole show on the treadmill just to make sure she gets it done,” Soderbergh said. “I’d love to know more about how she goes about it on a granular level, how she does it all? How does the business work? What’s her brain trust? What’s the money like? How does all the money move? How does it work? That’s fascinating to me because it’s a success story.”

The director even suggested that they should “analyze every conversation that takes place anywhere in the world and tell us how many minutes on average pass between the start of the conversation and the mention of Taylor Swift. That would be interesting to me, because I have a feeling it’s not very many minutes.”

Yes, that is our story at the moment – ​​that of all of us.
