Here is the story of Rebekah Harkness, the woman who inspired Taylor Swift's 'The Last Great American Dynasty.'
2023 has been the year of Taylor Swift. After wrapping up her record-breaking national Eras Tour, Swift grossed over $160 million for the tour’s movie counterpart since its opening weekend in early October. “Cruel Summer” from the singer’s Lover album just hit No. 1 on the Billboard’s Hot 100 chart – four years after its initial release. And if that wasn’t enough, Swift has opened a new chapter in her love life with her highly publicized relationship with Chiefs player, Travis Kelce.
“Wildest Dreams” After being widowed, Rebekah Harkness inherited about $50 million from Harkness. Newspapers over the following decades would often call her the richest woman in America. She also became widely known as a patroness of the arts and a philanthropist. But how did she spend almost all that money, you ask? To quote Swift, she “blew through the money on the boys and the ballet.” Rebekah poured tens of millions into the arts, especially ballet.
