Swift Shares Her Fortune

The Love Story hitmaker's bank balance has inflated from album sales and she insists the biggest benefit is being able to surprise people by paying for extra treats.

She says, "Now I'm in a better position to be a bigger tipper when I'm out in a restaurant. People don't expect it and you can make their day.

"I like going through a Starbucks drive-thru and paying for the person behind, just 'cause it's nice."

But the 19 year old insists she doesn't like to splurge: "I think it's crazy that as a star you get free stuff when you can afford it. I don't spend a lot of money. My dad is a financial advisor and has given me a lot of advice."
