You can really trace the generation\u2019s progression in her album sequence.</p><p>And \u201centhusiasm for electing Democrats\u201d is very much something urban millennial 20something women are into right now</p></blockquote><p><p>Honestly, the fact that she still maintains Tennessee residency (after she\u2019s better known for swanning about NYC/LA) is what interests me most. I suppose it\u2019s probably a tax thing</p><p>\u2026actually I remember hearing she uses the Nashville property as a home base during tours, flying back regularly. That plus maintaining NY <b>and</b> CA residences would be a pretty clever way to live a blue state coastal life while paying red state taxes</p><p>(recall that her backstory of growing up on a farm was a Christmas tree farm - i.e. agricultural tax exemptions but only a narrow yearly period when it actually functions as a job site - bought by her Merrill Lynch trader dad)</p></p>"}
