Note that her father is a Merrill Lynch veteran of 40 years (the article people reference for 30 years was written in 2012 https://www.businessinsider.com/taylor-swifts-dad-works-at-merrill-lynch-2012-10 https://www.businessinsider.com/taylor-swifts-dad-works-at-m... ). It may have been her team... but it isn't unreasonable to believe that she is aware of the issues around promoting securities. Someone on her team is financially savvy enough to know the questions to ask. It could have been a random member of her legal time, it could have been her father, it could have been her after a conversation with her father about it... or she may have been aware of those issues herself with a few decades of family conversations with a financial advisor.

Well I also think that people underrate how much staff someone at Swift's level employs. We really should think of them as CEOs of their name. But I also think it's a bit of hindsight snobbery to assume anyone was seriously looking FTX as a securities fraud risk in 2020. Maybe normal fraud, or even just a general ponzi scheme. It was an SEC-approved platform ~~that traded on the stock market!~~

    My mistake. I thought it was a publicly traded company.
