Parting Ways With Country Music

Taylor Swift's fourth studio album, Red, was the fastest-selling country music album ever.

But one common critique of Red made Swift wince: it wasn't "sonically cohesive." The reason? Swift was stuck trying to please country music executives, despite her interests in pop music.

Swift ultimately parted ways with country music to pursue what was important to her. And at certain points in our financial lives, we also need to be willing to part ways — with the consensus for what we’re “supposed to do” with our money.
