#EconTwitter Friday night challenge: As an ode to Taylor Swift, highlight the economics concepts in each song on her new album. https://twitter.com/JustinWolfers/status/1337531476930400264

Her older albums are fair game too, why not

I'll start - "Shake it Off"

"Just think while you've been getting down and out about the liars and the dirty, dirty cheats in the world, You could have been getting down to this sick beat"

= opportunity costs

marjorie

"Never be so kind
You forget to be clever
Never be so clever
You forget to be kind"

=> cleverness and kindness are not substitutes

(a lesson for economists)

coney island

"we were like the mall before the internet
It was the one place to be"

= network effects

I forgot that you existed

“It isn't love, it isn't hate
It's just indifference”

= indifference curves, duh
