TODAY’s key word is Income

Income 收入，收益

A person's income is the money that they earn or receive。

The cost of living is now so high that you need to earn a good income just to keep your head above water.
现在生活费用太高了,你需要有相当的收入才能勉强维持生活。

To keep your head above water 避免欠债。

这里To keep your head above water is a colorful expression that means staying out of debt.

言归正传，今天我们要说的这个income 收入，是乡村歌曲小天后 Taylor swift 的收入。

这位小天后不光是前男友多，钱也是多的不要不要的。你猜，她每年的收入有多少呢？

Taylor Swift has been named the highest-paid musician in the world after reportedly earning more than one million dollars a day for the duration of 2015。
一天一百万美元！我需要找个角落静一静，重新思考人生。

Forbes magazine（福布斯） has claimed she could hit full-blown billionaire（亿万富翁） status well before her 30th birthday and ultimately（最后） become one of the world’s wealthiest women.

人美，歌甜，男友多，还不缺钱，弱弱的问一下，她是怎么办到的？总结一下，主要是一下几点原因。

1.专辑大卖。

The stunning star released her fifth studio album in October last year and the hugely-successful record sold 1.287 million in its first week。

2. 工作认真

Last year, we saw her storm the globe performing 85 jam-packed dates, in North America, Asia, Europe and Oceania.
一年85场演唱会，遍及地球各个角落, 光门票收入就够吃一年青岛大虾了。

3.理财能手。

Her father Scott is a wealth management adviser, and mother Andrea is a former mutual fund executive. 请问你家还缺孩子吗？
除此以外，她和雅顿合作，发售了三款自己的香水，代言健怡可乐，代言keds 的鞋。那代言费是哗哗的进账。

4.最后，也是非常非常重要的一点---前男友们。

Taylor Swift的前男友们站在一起那才是偶像天团。(具体都有谁，请问度娘)分一次手，送一首歌，这首歌还能赚好多钱。
It is really a good deal.

那这些歌里到底唱了点什么呢？还是学好英语，才能听懂啊。大家一起努力 fighting （结尾再来两句她的歌？）
