In the last year, there have been conflicting reports regarding a failed deal between FTX and Swift. To my knowledge, Swift herself has not addressed the issue so far.

Any direct quote from Taylor Swift herself after the creation of this market that includes an explicit mention of Sam Bankman-Fried is sufficient to resolve YES.

• A second-hand report of Swift's beliefs or assertions does not count.

• The quote does not have to be related to the failed deal.

• The quote must appear in a reputable news source, including major newspapers or trustworthy blogs, newsletters or social media accounts. I reserve the right to vet the quote and its source before resolving.

• Edit (10/4/23, 11:10 am EST): 'Sam Bankman-Fried', 'SBF', 'Sam', and other namesake variations count as long as the reference is clear in context.

I will not bet in this market.

Taylor Swift wanted to cut a multimillion-dollar deal with SBF's FTX but he 'dragged his feet' on the collaboration, author Michael Lewis says

"FTX had an agreement with Swift to pay her between $25 and $30 million a year but Sam dragged his feet on the deal," Lewis wrote in his book on FTX.
