“Taylor Swift's birthday was not just a fun celebration, it was also a business meeting for her, Jay Z, Beyonce and Justin Timberlake. Name me four other people that are more powerful in the music world right now. Jay Z is obviously aware of this and he is the ultimate business man,” the source said.
The 45-year-old rapper and music producer wants to use the “Shake it off” hitmaker's “powerhouse” status to develop his brand.
