Looks as if she grew up in a comfortably upper class family. Maybe not mega rich, but they had money, a giant house, and land, and seem to have been able to use money to get her seen in the right places.
Regardless, she clearly has talent far beyond simply coming from an affluent childhood.
We have different definitions of mega rich. Stockbroker money, giant house and land... what other boxes need to be ticked?
CO2 with her jet flea jumps may be
She has huuuge... tracks of land!
Wow people are sensitive about your comment.

Maybe? Dolly Parton had relatively humble beginnings. My wife's school had a random band that made a decent splash in the industry with radio play time and record sales. Not Parton or Swift level, but still; they seemed decent enough but didn't see anything to know why a label went for them over a bunch of other similarly decent acts.
Celebrity can be weird sometimes. Sometimes you see someone pour all sorts of resources in trying to be 'popular' and fail, and sometimes you see someone come randomly out of nowhere.
