There's totally nothing wrong with it. Taylor Swift has turned breakups into a multi-million-dollar business. Every time she has a breakup she writes a chart-topping hit song (album) and literally banks. The numbers don’t lie! Taylor's breakup from Calvin Harris back in 2016 earned them a crazy 233 million between them. It has been dubbed the “The $233 Million Break Up”

You have a choice of how you deal with your breakup. You can choose to grow and build from it. Or you can choose to be broken and broke by it. 


2. You should never leave a breakup empty handed. Clearly, she didn’t leave empty handed. And why should you? She took her negative and turned it into a positive. She went from breakup to billboard hit all the way to the bank. A breakup is not the end of the world. Quite frankly, it's a beginning of a whole new world. One that you get to shape and create.
