> ‘You have to look beyond that,’ he considered. ‘You gotta dig down and come up with something special.’
> ‘The amount of money is meaningless. You’re not going to crush Taylor Swift with a gift that cost, you know, $100,000.’
He concluded:
> ‘Get something that tweaks the strings of her heart that you spend 10 bucks on, and then she’ll just be all gooey. You got to find something that triggers the emotion.’
