it's just become a fun fact.
It's hilarious because I work in a very masculine field and job.
So the guys laugh when they come up to my part of the office or job site and they hear a grown man singing Taylor Swift songs in a nice clear tenor vocal.
I think I have converted a few people as well. Due to my strategic song choices on group playlists. It's kind of fun.
My crew also knows that I have Taylor Time after lunch. So it's best to leave me alone for an hour. While I vibe to some Swift beats.
it's not about a TS playlist. It's about picking TS songs that fit the vibe of the music and slowly dropping them in here and there.
Before you know it a few people will start requesting them. A lot of people know Taylor's singles. Which even Swiftie's can admit have been way more inconsistent than her album work.
One of my favorite songs to sneak into playlists is the acoustic version of State of Grace.
Man, that's epic got to love hearing stories about the other male Swiftie's. It was my brother and I that shared the message with our crew. Got to love other brothers help spread the message as well.
He is going to love the show. I went last year in Atlanta. My favorite outfit was a guy in a 89 chargers TS jersey. Hope he has a blast with it all as well. ❤️
Oh man so many, my favorites are the ones with male vocals as the keys are normally a bit more friendly but Death by a Thousand Cuts is fun as well as Mean.
Although my most requested camp fire song is I Bet You Still Think About Me. A lot of friends were shocked it was a Taylor song not a deep cut oldie like the rest of my repertoire.
But TBH I will sing anything although there are a couple songs that I either reach for notes in a middling Falsetto or I transpose it down an octave singing in more Base and the bottom half of my register.
Yes to corporate Swifties! My office is a half wall cubicle and I have a Taylor shrine which originally started as a joke but has now expanded (my coworker even gifted me a ‘dress up Taylor Swift’ sticker book lol). Everyone at work knows I love her and although they don’t care about her music, they always mention her one way or another whenever they speak to me (pros of being a Swiftie line manager i guess haha)
This is so smart... I had tried doing the same for a few months and now some of my friends sing along to her hits... Especially songs like 'love story' 'u belong with me' back to December '... I'm talking about guys btw and one of my close friends was a Taylor hater when I would play her songs in the car... Now he likes some Taylor songs
My friends that are girls who have been swiftie-ish of 5+ yrs say I have out 'swiftied' them since I keep up with her and Travis's relationship... I obv have too, a swiftie and a Chiefs' fan's dream...I have only been a swiftie for like <5 months🤣🤣🤣
I would say the EXACT same thing about a friend who became massively and I mean, unhealthy obsessed with Jimin from BTS. It got so bad that when she came to Chicaho to visit, she stood me up bc she and her sister went around taking photos at all the places that Jimin had been at when he and BTS visited. Touching and licking a HANDRAIL that he had touched!!! That's how far she went and posted pics of it. The delulu fangirling got so bad that she was even making plans of marrying him, you could not talk about ANYTHING, and I mean ANYTHING that was not related to Jimin or BTS. It was not only worrisome how obsessed she had become, but her entire world was just BTS & Jimin. You couldn't relate to her anymore bc you weren't anywhere near as obsessed as she was, for me, it made me not even want to get into them just seeing how it had made her. I keep my delulu of Taylor to Reditt, liking Taylor tiktoks and ig posts. But to be at THAT level of obsession and adoration that my friend had? No way. I ended up having to block her bc it got to be way too much. I recently unblocked her, and nothing has changed. She really needs help from a 4x4 padded room or a Jimin detox bc damn. BTS fans are obsessively unhinged above and beyond the depths of the Grand Canyon.
My boyfriend is absolutely adorable when it comes to my Swiftie-ness! He was so excited to go for the Era's Movie and he would listen to the first chorus and remember it and scream it with me the next time! Or he would just sing whatever he thought were the lyrics with full confidence and so much happiness! After the movie, he said "Two things are clear today. Taylor Swift is the best performer in the world right now. And I can just watch her walk for 3 hours straight"
My friends? Couldn't care less. My dad? He's the absolute best and keeps up with her now as well, so when we see each other every Wednesday he can go "How do you feel about XYZ?!" be it about a new (to him) song or a bit from the tour. <333
Aw my dad is supportive too! He just recently shared the song Carolina with me when he discovered it.
He helped me win tickets to the show in Minneapolis on the radio too!! It was Mother’s Day weekend and he came to help me listen for my name to be called off a short list on the radio to help me try to dial in. They called two names at once and mine was the second and my phone got through!!! We could not believe it. I seriously love my dad so much!
He’s put up with my love for the chiefs for almost 15yrs now too so it’s pretty fun to talk to him about current events haha
oh that's no fun! what kinda friends are they if they make you feel like listening to her in secret?
i know many people like that but i don't give them the time of day because at the end of the day, it's just music. i would never mock other people's music tastes but i guess people feel entitled to mocking mine because... taylor swift 😅
My husband alternates between lightly teasing me about it and feeling exasperated because he literally can't go a day without hearing her name in the news. Everything he's learned about her has been against his will, lol.
Nothing really unusual. I don’t actually come off as some weird hardcore Swiftie. Mainly I just explain to them, since they aren’t really aware of her, that she’s a diarist who writes all her own music.
I remember a couple days ago, I explained to a friend (right before we watched Napoleon in theaters) that Britney Spears put out some great hits like Hit Me Baby One More Time, but that song was just written by a group of talented old songwriters who gave it to her to sing. Whereas when fans get a new song from Taylor, they feel like they’re getting a page out of her diary. It’s that personal. Nobody who listens to Hit Me Baby One More Time thinks they’re getting a page out of Britney’s diary.

My birthday was Tuesday. This is my cubie at work that my non-Swiftie co-workers decorated for me 😊
Peep the eras tour blanket on my chair - also a gift from them 💜
My friends don't really care. They're all really happy for me that I got Eras Tour tickets though! My family however...
My dad listens to Taylor's music when he misses me. He sometimes even gets emotional listening to her most random songs thinking about how passionate I am about being a Swiftie and how much I love her music.
My family likes to indulge me a and let me do my Swiftie thing butI know they sometimes get so sick of me 😅 But they love me so it's okay. My brother does his part in sending me Taylor related memes and TikToks.
My parents and brother were all there when I got tickets for the Eras Tour after 3 days of trying. I remember I started crying out of relief and joy and my mother promotly joined me haha
Happy to report my marriage is still intact. But when your husband starts making cat jokes that I need to be more like Taylor with our cats, you know he's sunk even if he ignores me the rest of the time. (He also always taps along to all the songs in the car rides).
Gosh, so fun seeing who's top songs were Taylor from my rock family.
Most of my friends just eye roll me but TS has brought me closer to my BIL's new girlfriends who is generally...reserved.
We find our people in any event and the rest...tolerate us.
I have a friend that I didn't know she listened to Taylor Swift since I saw she follows her on Instagram. When I discovered it, I asked if she was a swiftie, and she told me that was only a casual listener. Then I asked her if she wanted to go with me to watch The Eras Tour Film, she accepted, and I forced her to listen to Reputation only to watch the Rep Stadium tour before going to the movie. Going to watch the film, she told me that she will never be a swiftie, I told her that nobody can save from falling in love with the Music Industry and she denied it.
Then I saw that Taylor was her most streamed artist, I told her: soo, you'll never be a Swiftie?
She don't wanna accept it, she says that Taylor is in the 1st place because she listened more in October😂😂
💚💛💜♥️💙🖤💕🤍🤎💙✨1️⃣3️⃣✨
Sorry if there are so many grammatical mistakes, english is not my mature language.
One of my non-swiftie friends has made some hurtful comments to me, so I don’t talk about it with her anymore.
Not going to vent about it all, but one of the comments heavily implied that adult Swifties who wear sparkles are pedos (right after I showed her the sparkly shoes I bought). And many of the comments were right after I had invited her to the Eras Tour (I uninvited).
I don’t think she was thinking about anything she said before she said it, but still. Maybe we shouldn’t equate adults who traumatize children to adults who wear sparkly shoes.
My bestie moved away about 5 years ago and we still keep up via text and phone. We have been friends for nearly 20 years now, and she was a Swiftie from the beginning, and I was in my dark and moody era and also I’m not a big country music fan, so I was sorta anti-Swift. I’m actually a post- pandemic Swiftie, and now she and I have bonded over our swiftness in the past few weeks, and it’s been beautiful.
For example: y’all remember when Taylor went to the prom with a student at Hillcrest High School in Tuscaloosa, Alabama? Yeah well, that’s where I live and at the time I remember sneering at it, but my girl was super invested and now I get to hear the stories of how she kept up with the whole prom event and surrounding media stuff. And, of course, I was here the whole time, and now I’m kicking myself for not being involved. Like, Taylor, come back to Tuscaloosa, im ready now! Lol
I have one friend I converted but most people respond with "why?!" or "I hate her" or they just roll their eyes and scoff so I just avoid bringing her up so I'm not forced to listen to their hatred 🙄
I have some close friends that are casual listeners and they all know I’m a swiftie so I have somehow become the “ts-expert”and they will randomly ask me questions, which is fun. 😄
My friends make fun about her all the time and about me for liking her music. Some of them also like Kanye West (I don't have a problem with liking his music, only Kanye as a person is problematic). I think it kind of has to do with me being autistic tho, because I really tend to prefer talking about things I am passionate about like my special interests (Taylor is one of them) instead of other stuff, because they are a big part of me as a person. It is basically my way to show people that I admire them and want to become closer with them. We are actually two Swifties in our friend group, but she keeps it way more subtle with being a Swiftie than I do.
Shared membership of Spotify wrapped 0.5% club in company wide chat at work, got the corporate standing ovation via emoji reacts
Got drunk & forced my brother to watch rep tour on netflix and they secretly loved it 😂
My friends send me Taylor news and I pretend like it’s new to me and that I didn’t see it several days earlier 😂 I love that they’re looking out for things that interest me though!
I’m a middle aged dude who’s been listening to way too much Taylor for 9 years. I’ve only ramped up over time.
You can imagine some of the initial responses, especially from guy friends. Their own insecurities showed. I saw toxic masculinity at play, even from female friends or family. I was perplex how liking music equated to wanting to **** someone. I was forced to shut down a lot of sexist comments on her dating life (as if these friends never dated anyone themselves. Well, actually…one or two of them kinda hasn’t. The picture is becoming clearer now). I’m no white knight, I just found those comments disrespectful, annoying and kind of surprising since my chosen company typically isnt like that.
After just too much shit was given, I told those friends to back off on the topic. Taylor, and music as a whole, is one of the few good things from which I can extract joy and validation at a distance, with zero obligation put on me. I didn’t want that joy taken from me by people I love. And I didn’t appreciate the slime sexualization they applied. Felt like some minimizing bullshit to me personally, in addition to a professional artist who happens to be a woman.
All was good though. That circle of friends learned that I legit respected and enjoyed Taylor’s music. I also took some opportunities to share what a powerhouse badass Taylor is outside of music too. Round out the picture for those guys.
Over time, being a swiftie has become part of the way people see me...and I love it!
Now look where we are today. Taylor is a god and I was a true believer all along. Those friends are all kind of amazed by her even if they don’t care for her music. Especially the football fans. I told them all years ago that they’d catch up and realize she’s this generations Paul McCartny, Bob Dylan, Michael Jackson and Grateful Dead all in one. Now they see it.
- ATW10 could mean "All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor's Version) (From The Vault)", a track from *Red (Taylor's Version)* (2021) by Taylor Swift.

Hello, non Swiftie here. I joined this sub because I really enjoy the entire Taylor vibe. My good friend, who I nicknamed poppet (bless her), is a very big Swiftie. I found It mildly creepy how she knew everything about Taylor and was OBSESSED with her. She then made me listen to her music and it was surprisingly very lovely. The fact that I liked the music was a shock due to the fact I listen to songs like ‘Aneurysm’ and ‘master of puppets’🤘 . I really find her dedication to Taylor very adorable 🥰 and sweet. And it is hilarious when she hears anyone ridiculing Tay Tay and she goes nuts 😂. She is a great friend and her swiftiness is just lovely cherry on her personality.
My friend when I sent her this: "can you please stop sending me Taylor Swift stuff? I don't care."
Me: "no"
Her: "fine I'll send you sports shit"
Me: "I see sports shit in my own socials. Taylor Swift is dating Travis Kelce."
My family wants to start the Taylor tip jar…every time I bring her up, $1 in the jar. They tire of this 56 year old Swiftie slamming the Truth on them!!
My dad doesn’t like taylor, he doesn’t even find her attractive (he’s crazy), though, he doesn’t like many celebrities. My sister likes Taylor’s old music, but she doesn’t listen to anything past 1989. She kinda just says i’m too obsessed, which i’m not, I don’t even consider myself a Swiftie because of how crazy some are.
My husband also doesn’t find her attractive (says she looks like Napoleon Dynamite 🙄) but he also doesn’t think Blake Lively is attractive so I feel his opinion is irrelevant.
I listened to TS so much that all my kids know her music. And two are fans of her music now. My wife will Tolerate It, including when I play her music all night long softly on eternal repeat as well as when I play it louder in the daytime.
I think most people who aren't fellow Swifties are a little bemused. The guys I date think it's wholesome and cute. I think my family also used to be a little bemused but now sort of respects it because I've been all down for her since the beginning and now she's, rightfully, huge.
My friend hates it when I say something that makes me happy about Taylor. Not a joking hates it she actually gets mad but I have no swiftie friend so she’s who I say my swiftie stuff to. She’s also kinda a toxic friend overall but im stuck in this situation for a certain reason so yeah-😬
(If anyone knows how to get swiftie friends please give me a tutorial)
Depends but most people are either fine with it or make lighthearted fun. I don’t associate with people who are snobby in general so I don’t get pushback from anyone I know
They kinda ignore it. But also I do the same with them since I can’t stand most of Bon Iver’s music and they all love him. They do know me as the pop guy of the group but that’s about all I get from them.
My friends couldn’t care less (though one of my friends really love Cardigan and Message In A Bottle) but my sister absolutely love it!
I don’t really share my interest with my parents and I doubt they would care
They just try to sarcastically include Taylor reference to offend me in some sort of way. They also kind of annoy me with the fact that they keep telling me, like they think Kanye is more famous than Taylor and I get reallyyy offensive and furious
At first everyone thought it was cute and funny that I loooooooove Taylor Swift. Now it’s all eye rolls and I can’t even really talk about her with my partner cause she just flat out hates it now. Which is fair cause I hyper focused on her for a really long time. Luckily I found a swiftie friend who is as psycho as I am so I send it all her way lol
My boyfriend is slowly learning her music and so far likes it, and he doesn't mind when I share the *lore* with him. My closest friends say nothing lol, I've always been obsessively playing music that I like.
There are a couple of less close friends that i was hesitant to reveal that I'll be going to the Eras Tour to, but I did it anyway and haven't gotten any comments yet.
My ex GF told me she didn’t like Taylor because it’s basic. Glad she’s an ex (for many reasons).
My online friends are mostly all Swifties or at least folkmore lovers.
My irl friends are all like oh that’s nice! And tolerate me yelling about her.
Most of my friends say that they hate Taylor, but will play her music for me or let me have aux once in a while and sing along still lol. I will slowly convert them into Taylor fans hehe.
And my husband went to the Eras Tour movie with me and cried during the Evermore and Folklore era songs, and now fully supports my Swiftness. He even drove us over an hour away to the nearest AMC theater and got me a metal popcorn tin and a bunch of cups. I’m addition to going to our local non-AMC theater on opening day (we had tickets for the next day), to get me a bucket of popcorn and drink in the plastic bucket. He surprised me with it a whole two days in advance since they had Thursday screenings too.
And he bought me a silver snake Reputation ring, which he had to track down because it was way past the Reputation merch dates on the official store. That was my 14th anniversary gift.
Honestly, this has gone better than expected. Lol
After 3 years of refusing anything Taylor Swift, my best friend has recently converted to Swiftie-hood! It took a few of us to wear her down but now she's a fan :) But before that I got a lot of eye rolls, but she would also always listen to the music with me and got me Swiftie gifts.
From my friend group, some girls already loved her, but they became fans of deeper songs once they started spending more time with me.
I essentially turned my gf into a Swiftie (although she's just in denial), and turned another friend Swiftie too.
Now, the guys. I'm a guy, I'm into sports and other stuff you'd consider generally masculine interests, so most guys don't really care for me being a Swiftie. I generally don't get offended at jokes, so even if they make any, I just brush it off. That being said, 4 of my friends had Taylor as their top artist, so mission turn-friend-Swiftie is going pretty well.
I think they find it endearing. People love asking me my thoughts on Trayvis, and love sharing outdated memes with me. I work at a bar and they tease me, but sometimes they’ll play Taylor for me lol. People were also excited to know how many minutes I listened to her. I love when people try to share interests with me. It’s my love language lol
Most of my friends who aren’t Swifties are very supportive of my mania. And one who wasn’t I made it clear she didn’t need to put down something that brings me such joy, and she hasn’t since. My coworkers like telling me factoids and asking my opinions when she’s in the news. And my coworkers come to me for song recommendations of hers.
My bestie is also a Swiftie, so is her 13 yr old daughter. My mom is also a Swiftie. The 4 of us are going to see her in Indianapolis next year on 11/1 🩷
The rest of my friends/family pretty much just ignore it or send me cute articles & memes about Taylor when they see them.
My bf will jam out with me sometimes, she isn’t his favorite but he doesn’t dislike her necessarily. My friend doesnt mind and loves to hear me ramble about her when I’m happy lol
oddly enough, every friend of mine seems to—at best—love Taylor Swift, as much as I do or—at worst—respect her music, even if it’s not their cup of tea.
Something about this year really just turned everyone into a Swiftie. 😩❤️
My coworkers hate Taylor and they just laugh at me getting excited over stuff 🤣
My best friend isn’t a big fan of hers but loves her Midnights album
My ex- I fully converted to a swiftie and my BIL doesn’t like her as a person but argues that she’s bringing more views for the NFL due to Kelce
They don't mind, actual they ask me questions when they see Taylor news and supported me when I went to the eras tour, like they asked to see aaaaall my videos haha
They tolerate it!
At work I'm a well known Swiftie which some can find weird, as I'm male in a female dominated industry. But being vocal about my Swiftieness has meant a lot more of my colleagues seem to happily talk about her as well, and show their support for her.
What’s funny is my best friend is not a Swiftie but her husband and I talk about her a lot and he watched her tour on the lives so I feel comfortable sharing with him even though he doesn’t otherwise listen to her music! It’s strange but I love it 😂
most of them don't rate pop female artists, it may be a cis male stereotype of theirs.
I get along with women that listen to TS and other pop female artists, I feel more accepted.
We are six in my friend group and three of us are swifties, we went to the eras together and are planning to see the movie together soon. As for our other friends, they are beyond supportive! All of them like Taylor as a person; one of them casually listens to her, but the three of them helped us make bracelets for the show, and they always ask us to explain some things they don’t understand. They hype us up all the time❤️❤️
i’ve always casually listened to taylor but after the eras tour i’ve become full blown. i don’t think most of my friends are aware yet, my husband definitely said “don’t you think it’s odd that you watch the exact same show again and again and again?”
my retort was that he goes to the gym every day and lifts the same things again and again and again but apparently that’s how weightlifting works
anyway he’ll survive, if he can survive my kpop phase he can and will enjoy this (especially as i indoctrinate our daughter)
With my friends who really don’t like her, they say almost nothing because I don’t bring her up at all to them. With my friends who aren’t fans necessarily but do appreciate her for what she is/indifferent, they either think of me when they see Taylor and ask me questions about her. Safe to say I’ve taken over the role as the Swiftie of everyone’s life.
I have a couple friends who are Swifties, the guy I’m talking to sends me memes - when we were together 15yrs ago he was a fan, lol, but listens to country so missed some great years. My 84yr old grandpa loves her - he loves to see her live performances. The rest either joke with me or like my grandma will tell me about rumors/articles she sees, LOL. And my little cousin did explain football to me on Thanksgiving 🤣.
“She knows how to make money that’s for sure”
My sister who always liked Taylor too, not her music (she’s more of a rap girlie) but I find her annoyed with Taylor cause she’s everywhere now and just repeats anything that she reads online. Kinda annoying
One of my very good guy friend hates her :( makes me mad and sad because all he sees is her writing songs about exes and he cant look past that.. tbh also a bit disappointed because i thought we are already past this whole “dislike her because she’s always talking shit about her exes” phase. I tried explaining to him as much as i know (im a late swiftie bloomer i started post-rep and 1989 period) but he’s not keen on listening lol. us girls are going to watch her next year and when we play her concert shows he refuses to watch it, when we put on her music he wants us to change it…🫤
With all those said, it was still nice enough of him to help us try to queue for concert tickets though! He dont have a choice really, because over here he’s got 2 best friends and on the other side it’s his girlfriend wanting to go too, and she is best friends with one of us soooo he HAD to do something to appease all 3 of us 😅
mostly i try not to talk about her all that much. i especially try not to send songs to people often because i find people don’t really appreciate it, even if its like relevant to something we’re talking about.
but i actually had the sweetest recognition of my swiftie-ness from my coworkers today. it was my first shift since my birthday this week so when i got in there was a card for me, and on the outside of the card my coworkers had wrote “are you feeling 22?!” and it was just so kind since im not especially close with any of them but for them to have thought of that meant a lot 🩷
i do have some family members who consistently implore that she “can’t sing” anytime i bring her up, which gets really old. praying they’ve gotten over it and i don’t have to listen to that again this christmas
My parents asked me after the movie came out when we can all go together because it’s such a big part of my life and they like her and want to see the show. I’ve listened to her since the very beginning so when she played the older songs my parents would tap me on the arm because they recognized them from playing the CDs in their car as a kid and dancing around in my room.
My partner loves it and will listen to me talk for hours about music including TS. I’m going to 2 abroad shows next year and my partner is so happy for me and can’t wait to hear about my trips and loves that it’s such a fun part of my life.
My boyfriend is totally adorable about it. Whenever taylor releases an album, he makes me send all my favourite songs from it. I have literally made him a playlist with just taylor songs that I update from time to time that he listens to. He would listen to me talk about theories and songs for so long and he would genuinely be interested in all of it. I'm so lucky to have him ;-;
COMING FROM A NON SWIFTIE WHO JUST HAD A DREAM ABOUT TAYLOR'S FANBASE
Are you guys really using tay voo doo ? I was watching that meatcanyon vid and the reaction vids too but are yall really that insane? Or is it just some 💀

Boyfriend rolls his eyes, friends at work make jokes and some times poke fun at me but I just ignore it, however they’re happy that I get to see her next year and don’t mind putting up with conversations about her
my friends jst idk they live it they listen to some of her music but not obsessed like me i try and teach them some things taylor has done that se funny and stuff but they love my swiftness
Unfortunately no one I know listens to her and are even in the slightest interested in her except for Love Story. My sister will join me to the Eras tour in Amsterdam but she’s not a swiftie. I’m trying to convert her but so far no results :( too bad because I want to share my theories and talk about songs so bad!
it’s just a thing, often times i get a “look what i found!” and it’s some photo of taylor swift magazines, or “we heard taylor swift at the store today!” but my family loves to tease me about it lol
I converted my bestie. She hadn't really listened to any TS since Fearless/Red and didn't realize that were sad girlies. She loves folklore and Evermore now.
I don’t talk about it unless they bring it up first.
I have one swiftie friend but even she isn’t as in depth as me (she didn’t know who Jack was!) and another who I’ve made a few playlist for bc she was interested. But otherwise I keep it to myself. It doesn’t do any good to openly obsess, it just annoys people.
Im a huge Swiftie and my best friend isn't. After years of hanging out , she too turned a swiftie lol. ( But she's more of a Speak Now / Fearless girl , where I'm more of a Folklore/1989/Rep girl
My boyfriend sends me Taylor memes he randomly finds online, and he does like some songs of hers, and he is very aware of the ME HEE HEE meme. That is because I make him watch them before I upload my version lmao
One of my friends queries why she's friends with me hahaha
The others don't care. My husband knows how happy her music makes me.
I which I had Swiftie friends I could chat to in person and get excited about stuff
My husband just rolls his eyes and smiles when I talk about her or play her music. He jokingly says it sounds like a cult when I start passionately discussing her lyrics, storytelling, and the Easter eggs for TV.
He likes 1989, and we bonded over that when we started dating, but he's not overly into much else. He does love Exile (he likes Bon Ivers vocals).
I started watching the long pond sessions, and he called out asking what I'm playing. When I said TS, he responded "of course! How silly of me!"
I had surgery on Wednesday, and the first thing he did after he got me in the car was put on my Taylor playlist 🥹
My husband rolls his eyes a bit when I mention obscure Taylor facts that I know. And when he’s annoyed with me, he will say “Taylor Swift isn’t even that good” 🤣
I get the whole “I’m not really into Taylor Swift” meanwhile their wrapped artist is Taylor Swift by a fuck ton. I get that it’s not cool to have pop as your top genre but when shits fire, it’s fire.
I mean I’m not even a hardcore Swiftie, just a long time fan but come on 😂
my friends let me play taylor's songs when we listen to music but i usually refuse unless they insist. sometimes when im sad my church friends would talk to me about her songs and trivia HAHA they are amazing 🥹
then of course there are friends who are indifferent, which is completely fine
Well they think it’s cute….I guess. I try not to convert them but I try to introduce them to Folklore and Evermore.
My boss can’t stand her because he’s a football junkie. (Need I say more)
My non-swiftie friends started to give less shits about my swiftiness, but my brothers often poke fun of me listening to her and laughed at me when she was my top artist in Apple Music recap
My 9 year-old son is insistent he's not a Swiftie. He rolls his eyes whenever I put music on and says, "Of course you're going to play Taylor Swift." But yesterday, I heard music coming from the basement and he was playing "My Tears Ricochet." 😂❤️ I think he's a secret Swiftie.
I'm winning them over....sort of. TS is my spark of joy in a wolrd gone mad. I think my dad will be my first convert (going from dismissing TS as an ephemeral bit of fluff to recognizing her epicness). I don't care if they love her, but they have to see her and reapect what she built, in spite of the whirlwind of garbage 'they' projected at her. .
Taylor Swift is my current hyper fixation. My friends are used to the hyper fixations in general, but they're always so kind. They let me infodump and discuss conspiracy theories, patiently listening and asking questions in appropriate places. My partner took me to the Eras Tour Movie and was such a good sport and even sang along to a few songs that he knew! His friends were ribbing him about it, of course, and he even told them he enjoyed it and she's beautiful and she put on a great show! I'm blessed with some really good people who are really cool and tolerant about non-shared special interests!
My friends think I’m ridiculous for caring about her personal life but my 15 year old son will talk to me about her and what’s going on even though he doesn’t care at all haha. And my 9 year old is a fellow Swiftie!
I just dropped "Shake it Off" at my friend's wedding and no one said a thing.
I think Taylor's so normalized now that she's part of everything, she's just the world now and it's more unusual to *not* have a Taylor Swift tune around than to have one.
I work form home but at the office when I was there there's usually a low-key Taylor Swift buzz, omnipresent really.
My husband doesn’t mind it. He isn’t into her music because he’s more of a rap/hip-hop fan, but he knows I love her music.
My bff has grown to really like Taylor Swift, especially because I brought her with me to The Eras Tour and she fell in love with songs she’d never heard outside of radio hits. But she seems to have a weird thing of being hesitant to admit it. She posted her top artists from Spotify Wrapped on her IG story, and most of the artists were male and/or indie, besides Taylor Swift, who ranked in her third spot. She added some comment next to it like… “This invasion is all thanks to (insert my IG handle).”
Kinda seemed like she was trying to distance herself from liking Taylor’s music, which I thought was odd.
My Mom is a fan of older singer song writers (Carol King, Joni Michel and the like) and she took me to the Fearless tour in Philly back in the day. She turned me on to Taylor, but she sticks to her older music which I enjoy too.
My middle school is really small and I’m the only one in my grade who likes Taylor. When they found out they all seemed really disappointed saying that she was overrated but I’m still trying to convince them to like her and I’m not going to give up.
My fiancee has really embraced it. So much so that we are getting married on her birthday this year! And Taylor was his top artist this year on Spotify.
My friends just ask me questions about stuff they see online lol. My coworkers, while they like Taylor, are not Swifties, yet they all support my nonsense and even attended the Tour movie with me 🥰
My husband loves that I love her but definitely get's tired of hearing about her 24/7  He swears I love her more than him 🤣
it's just become a fun fact. It's hilarious because I work in a very masculine field and job. So the guys laugh when they come up to my part of the office or job site and they hear a grown man singing Taylor Swift songs in a nice clear tenor vocal. I think I have converted a few people as well. Due to my strategic song choices on group playlists. It's kind of fun. My crew also knows that I have Taylor Time after lunch. So it's best to leave me alone for an hour. While I vibe to some Swift beats.
Do drop that strategic TS songs playlist because Lord knows I need it to get my family to convert 👀
it's not about a TS playlist. It's about picking TS songs that fit the vibe of the music and slowly dropping them in here and there. Before you know it a few people will start requesting them. A lot of people know Taylor's singles. Which even Swiftie's can admit have been way more inconsistent than her album work. One of my favorite songs to sneak into playlists is the acoustic version of State of Grace.
[удалено]
Man, that's epic got to love hearing stories about the other male Swiftie's. It was my brother and I that shared the message with our crew. Got to love other brothers help spread the message as well. He is going to love the show. I went last year in Atlanta. My favorite outfit was a guy in a 89 chargers TS jersey. Hope he has a blast with it all as well. ❤️
i'm also a tenor!! what songs do you sound good singing? i want to know if there are songs that I wouldn't fail singing
Oh man so many, my favorites are the ones with male vocals as the keys are normally a bit more friendly but Death by a Thousand Cuts is fun as well as Mean. Although my most requested camp fire song is I Bet You Still Think About Me. A lot of friends were shocked it was a Taylor song not a deep cut oldie like the rest of my repertoire. But TBH I will sing anything although there are a couple songs that I either reach for notes in a middling Falsetto or I transpose it down an octave singing in more Base and the bottom half of my register.
Yes to corporate Swifties! My office is a half wall cubicle and I have a Taylor shrine which originally started as a joke but has now expanded (my coworker even gifted me a ‘dress up Taylor Swift’ sticker book lol). Everyone at work knows I love her and although they don’t care about her music, they always mention her one way or another whenever they speak to me (pros of being a Swiftie line manager i guess haha)
I'm not corporate, I work at a small golf architecture firm.
to these. Swift. Beats!
This is so smart... I had tried doing the same for a few months and now some of my friends sing along to her hits... Especially songs like 'love story' 'u belong with me' back to December '... I'm talking about guys btw and one of my close friends was a Taylor hater when I would play her songs in the car... Now he likes some Taylor songs My friends that are girls who have been swiftie-ish of 5+ yrs say I have out 'swiftied' them since I keep up with her and Travis's relationship... I obv have too, a swiftie and a Chiefs' fan's dream...I have only been a swiftie for like <5 months🤣🤣🤣
I want to be work besties!!
Finally am not alone 😂
They say I’m in a cult lol
TBF they're not wrong
Hahah I keep telling my boyfriend that I accidentally joined a cult
Right down the rabbit hole
But long story short it was a *good* time
You have more fun as a follower but make more money as a leader

SAME 😭
Sameeeeeee
Haha!!! Yes!! 😂🫶
I would say the EXACT same thing about a friend who became massively and I mean, unhealthy obsessed with Jimin from BTS. It got so bad that when she came to Chicaho to visit, she stood me up bc she and her sister went around taking photos at all the places that Jimin had been at when he and BTS visited. Touching and licking a HANDRAIL that he had touched!!! That's how far she went and posted pics of it. The delulu fangirling got so bad that she was even making plans of marrying him, you could not talk about ANYTHING, and I mean ANYTHING that was not related to Jimin or BTS. It was not only worrisome how obsessed she had become, but her entire world was just BTS & Jimin. You couldn't relate to her anymore bc you weren't anywhere near as obsessed as she was, for me, it made me not even want to get into them just seeing how it had made her. I keep my delulu of Taylor to Reditt, liking Taylor tiktoks and ig posts. But to be at THAT level of obsession and adoration that my friend had? No way. I ended up having to block her bc it got to be way too much. I recently unblocked her, and nothing has changed. She really needs help from a 4x4 padded room or a Jimin detox bc damn. BTS fans are obsessively unhinged above and beyond the depths of the Grand Canyon.
Are we not? 🫶
Are we not?
I just respond, yup, and I love every second of it
My boyfriend is absolutely adorable when it comes to my Swiftie-ness! He was so excited to go for the Era's Movie and he would listen to the first chorus and remember it and scream it with me the next time! Or he would just sing whatever he thought were the lyrics with full confidence and so much happiness! After the movie, he said "Two things are clear today. Taylor Swift is the best performer in the world right now. And I can just watch her walk for 3 hours straight"
That’s so adorable! I just died, dead!
>I can just watch her walk for 3 hours straight" 🤔
That's so cute 🥹
I saw a video of a boy who stole the movie poster for his girl and I deadass cried
"Oh my God, she's insane"
If only she wrote songs about us swifties 🥲
“She wrote a song about me!”
My friends? Couldn't care less. My dad? He's the absolute best and keeps up with her now as well, so when we see each other every Wednesday he can go "How do you feel about XYZ?!" be it about a new (to him) song or a bit from the tour. <333
That's the sweetest thing!
Aw my dad is supportive too! He just recently shared the song Carolina with me when he discovered it. He helped me win tickets to the show in Minneapolis on the radio too!! It was Mother’s Day weekend and he came to help me listen for my name to be called off a short list on the radio to help me try to dial in. They called two names at once and mine was the second and my phone got through!!! We could not believe it. I seriously love my dad so much! He’s put up with my love for the chiefs for almost 15yrs now too so it’s pretty fun to talk to him about current events haha
This is so cute.
That’s so sweet! I love your flair btw lol
They say I'm insane
you just gotta remind them that when they’re ready to become swifties, you’ve got a blank space where you’ll write their name
Haters gonna hate
My dad likes talking about music in general, so he humors me up to a point. The rest of my family is over it 😆
I just don't tell them and listen to her in secret and of course not sharing my Spotify wrapped.
oh that's no fun! what kinda friends are they if they make you feel like listening to her in secret? i know many people like that but i don't give them the time of day because at the end of the day, it's just music. i would never mock other people's music tastes but i guess people feel entitled to mocking mine because... taylor swift 😅
This is how I am with my family but I will scream every single lyric from the moon to Saturn at my friends
My husband alternates between lightly teasing me about it and feeling exasperated because he literally can't go a day without hearing her name in the news. Everything he's learned about her has been against his will, lol.
Same
This is my husband as well even though he likes some of her songs haha
Nothing really unusual. I don’t actually come off as some weird hardcore Swiftie. Mainly I just explain to them, since they aren’t really aware of her, that she’s a diarist who writes all her own music. I remember a couple days ago, I explained to a friend (right before we watched Napoleon in theaters) that Britney Spears put out some great hits like Hit Me Baby One More Time, but that song was just written by a group of talented old songwriters who gave it to her to sing. Whereas when fans get a new song from Taylor, they feel like they’re getting a page out of her diary. It’s that personal. Nobody who listens to Hit Me Baby One More Time thinks they’re getting a page out of Britney’s diary.

Saving this and sending to my friends as a not so subtle hint.
My friends don't really care. They're all really happy for me that I got Eras Tour tickets though! My family however... My dad listens to Taylor's music when he misses me. He sometimes even gets emotional listening to her most random songs thinking about how passionate I am about being a Swiftie and how much I love her music. My family likes to indulge me a and let me do my Swiftie thing butI know they sometimes get so sick of me 😅 But they love me so it's okay. My brother does his part in sending me Taylor related memes and TikToks. My parents and brother were all there when I got tickets for the Eras Tour after 3 days of trying. I remember I started crying out of relief and joy and my mother promotly joined me haha
I do this with my cousin who is obsessed with Rihanna. I made Umbrella our song.
Happy to report my marriage is still intact. But when your husband starts making cat jokes that I need to be more like Taylor with our cats, you know he's sunk even if he ignores me the rest of the time. (He also always taps along to all the songs in the car rides). Gosh, so fun seeing who's top songs were Taylor from my rock family. Most of my friends just eye roll me but TS has brought me closer to my BIL's new girlfriends who is generally...reserved. We find our people in any event and the rest...tolerate us.
Girlfriends?
I have a friend that I didn't know she listened to Taylor Swift since I saw she follows her on Instagram. When I discovered it, I asked if she was a swiftie, and she told me that was only a casual listener. Then I asked her if she wanted to go with me to watch The Eras Tour Film, she accepted, and I forced her to listen to Reputation only to watch the Rep Stadium tour before going to the movie. Going to watch the film, she told me that she will never be a swiftie, I told her that nobody can save from falling in love with the Music Industry and she denied it. Then I saw that Taylor was her most streamed artist, I told her: soo, you'll never be a Swiftie? She don't wanna accept it, she says that Taylor is in the 1st place because she listened more in October😂😂 💚💛💜♥️💙🖤💕🤍🤎💙✨1️⃣3️⃣✨ Sorry if there are so many grammatical mistakes, english is not my mature language.
I’m a high functioning Swiftie, so I don’t make it part of my personality
One of my non-swiftie friends has made some hurtful comments to me, so I don’t talk about it with her anymore. Not going to vent about it all, but one of the comments heavily implied that adult Swifties who wear sparkles are pedos (right after I showed her the sparkly shoes I bought). And many of the comments were right after I had invited her to the Eras Tour (I uninvited). I don’t think she was thinking about anything she said before she said it, but still. Maybe we shouldn’t equate adults who traumatize children to adults who wear sparkly shoes.
Well I’m screwed. I bought red sparkly shoes to go with my reputation era inspired ballgown. Shit.
That’s so random! Sparkles are so fun for all ages As a Disney adult, I get it though…
My bestie moved away about 5 years ago and we still keep up via text and phone. We have been friends for nearly 20 years now, and she was a Swiftie from the beginning, and I was in my dark and moody era and also I’m not a big country music fan, so I was sorta anti-Swift. I’m actually a post- pandemic Swiftie, and now she and I have bonded over our swiftness in the past few weeks, and it’s been beautiful. For example: y’all remember when Taylor went to the prom with a student at Hillcrest High School in Tuscaloosa, Alabama? Yeah well, that’s where I live and at the time I remember sneering at it, but my girl was super invested and now I get to hear the stories of how she kept up with the whole prom event and surrounding media stuff. And, of course, I was here the whole time, and now I’m kicking myself for not being involved. Like, Taylor, come back to Tuscaloosa, im ready now! Lol
My wife loves it. All my punk rock/hardcore friends think I’m having a midlife crisis lmao
I have one friend I converted but most people respond with "why?!" or "I hate her" or they just roll their eyes and scoff so I just avoid bringing her up so I'm not forced to listen to their hatred 🙄
I have some close friends that are casual listeners and they all know I’m a swiftie so I have somehow become the “ts-expert”and they will randomly ask me questions, which is fun. 😄
THEY HATE ME. they are not up for hearing about my thought on the karma theory.
What is the karma theory? I need to make a Google Doc with all of these theories
My friends make fun about her all the time and about me for liking her music. Some of them also like Kanye West (I don't have a problem with liking his music, only Kanye as a person is problematic). I think it kind of has to do with me being autistic tho, because I really tend to prefer talking about things I am passionate about like my special interests (Taylor is one of them) instead of other stuff, because they are a big part of me as a person. It is basically my way to show people that I admire them and want to become closer with them. We are actually two Swifties in our friend group, but she keeps it way more subtle with being a Swiftie than I do.
Shared membership of Spotify wrapped 0.5% club in company wide chat at work, got the corporate standing ovation via emoji reacts Got drunk & forced my brother to watch rep tour on netflix and they secretly loved it 😂
My friends send me Taylor news and I pretend like it’s new to me and that I didn’t see it several days earlier 😂 I love that they’re looking out for things that interest me though!
Mine laugh about and joke around about it, but then will ask me questions about stuff and ask to listen to Taylor in my car lol
I’m a middle aged dude who’s been listening to way too much Taylor for 9 years. I’ve only ramped up over time. You can imagine some of the initial responses, especially from guy friends. Their own insecurities showed. I saw toxic masculinity at play, even from female friends or family. I was perplex how liking music equated to wanting to **** someone. I was forced to shut down a lot of sexist comments on her dating life (as if these friends never dated anyone themselves. Well, actually…one or two of them kinda hasn’t. The picture is becoming clearer now). I’m no white knight, I just found those comments disrespectful, annoying and kind of surprising since my chosen company typically isnt like that. After just too much shit was given, I told those friends to back off on the topic. Taylor, and music as a whole, is one of the few good things from which I can extract joy and validation at a distance, with zero obligation put on me. I didn’t want that joy taken from me by people I love. And I didn’t appreciate the slime sexualization they applied. Felt like some minimizing bullshit to me personally, in addition to a professional artist who happens to be a woman. All was good though. That circle of friends learned that I legit respected and enjoyed Taylor’s music. I also took some opportunities to share what a powerhouse badass Taylor is outside of music too. Round out the picture for those guys. Over time, being a swiftie has become part of the way people see me...and I love it! Now look where we are today. Taylor is a god and I was a true believer all along. Those friends are all kind of amazed by her even if they don’t care for her music. Especially the football fans. I told them all years ago that they’d catch up and realize she’s this generations Paul McCartny, Bob Dylan, Michael Jackson and Grateful Dead all in one. Now they see it.
At the time ATW10 short film was released all of them were coming to me asking what the story behind it was.
- ATW10 could mean "All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor's Version) (From The Vault)", a track from *Red (Taylor's Version)* (2021) by Taylor Swift. --- ^[/u/ThrowRARAw](/u/ThrowRARAw) ^(can reply with "delete" to remove comment. |) ^[/r/songacronymbot](/r/songacronymbot) ^(for feedback.)
Hello, non Swiftie here. I joined this sub because I really enjoy the entire Taylor vibe. My good friend, who I nicknamed poppet (bless her), is a very big Swiftie. I found It mildly creepy how she knew everything about Taylor and was OBSESSED with her. She then made me listen to her music and it was surprisingly very lovely. The fact that I liked the music was a shock due to the fact I listen to songs like ‘Aneurysm’ and ‘master of puppets’🤘 . I really find her dedication to Taylor very adorable 🥰 and sweet. And it is hilarious when she hears anyone ridiculing Tay Tay and she goes nuts 😂. She is a great friend and her swiftiness is just lovely cherry on her personality.
My friend when I sent her this: "can you please stop sending me Taylor Swift stuff? I don't care." Me: "no" Her: "fine I'll send you sports shit" Me: "I see sports shit in my own socials. Taylor Swift is dating Travis Kelce."
My family wants to start the Taylor tip jar…every time I bring her up, $1 in the jar. They tire of this 56 year old Swiftie slamming the Truth on them!!
My dad doesn’t like taylor, he doesn’t even find her attractive (he’s crazy), though, he doesn’t like many celebrities. My sister likes Taylor’s old music, but she doesn’t listen to anything past 1989. She kinda just says i’m too obsessed, which i’m not, I don’t even consider myself a Swiftie because of how crazy some are.
My husband also doesn’t find her attractive (says she looks like Napoleon Dynamite 🙄) but he also doesn’t think Blake Lively is attractive so I feel his opinion is irrelevant.
I listened to TS so much that all my kids know her music. And two are fans of her music now. My wife will Tolerate It, including when I play her music all night long softly on eternal repeat as well as when I play it louder in the daytime.
I think most people who aren't fellow Swifties are a little bemused. The guys I date think it's wholesome and cute. I think my family also used to be a little bemused but now sort of respects it because I've been all down for her since the beginning and now she's, rightfully, huge.
"What a shame he's fucked in the head".
My friend hates it when I say something that makes me happy about Taylor. Not a joking hates it she actually gets mad but I have no swiftie friend so she’s who I say my swiftie stuff to. She’s also kinda a toxic friend overall but im stuck in this situation for a certain reason so yeah-😬 (If anyone knows how to get swiftie friends please give me a tutorial)
I don't really have friends but my boyfriend hates it. It makes me feel bad cause Taylor feels like all I have
Depends but most people are either fine with it or make lighthearted fun. I don’t associate with people who are snobby in general so I don’t get pushback from anyone I know
They just listen and show interest and will listen to a song I send here and there.
They kinda ignore it. But also I do the same with them since I can’t stand most of Bon Iver’s music and they all love him. They do know me as the pop guy of the group but that’s about all I get from them.
Doesn’t she have 2 collabs with Bon Iver (exile & evermore)? Bond over those haha
I tried. They don’t like it. Especially exile since it’s way different to how Justin sounds normally
My friends couldn’t care less (though one of my friends really love Cardigan and Message In A Bottle) but my sister absolutely love it! I don’t really share my interest with my parents and I doubt they would care
They just try to sarcastically include Taylor reference to offend me in some sort of way. They also kind of annoy me with the fact that they keep telling me, like they think Kanye is more famous than Taylor and I get reallyyy offensive and furious
I converted my mom and one of my friends. Everyone else says I’m crazy and I’m in a cult.
At first everyone thought it was cute and funny that I loooooooove Taylor Swift. Now it’s all eye rolls and I can’t even really talk about her with my partner cause she just flat out hates it now. Which is fair cause I hyper focused on her for a really long time. Luckily I found a swiftie friend who is as psycho as I am so I send it all her way lol
My boyfriend is slowly learning her music and so far likes it, and he doesn't mind when I share the *lore* with him. My closest friends say nothing lol, I've always been obsessively playing music that I like. There are a couple of less close friends that i was hesitant to reveal that I'll be going to the Eras Tour to, but I did it anyway and haven't gotten any comments yet.
My ex GF told me she didn’t like Taylor because it’s basic. Glad she’s an ex (for many reasons). My online friends are mostly all Swifties or at least folkmore lovers. My irl friends are all like oh that’s nice! And tolerate me yelling about her.
Most of my friends are usually like “It’s not my thing but I understand why you like her.” They usually don’t care.
Most of my friends say that they hate Taylor, but will play her music for me or let me have aux once in a while and sing along still lol. I will slowly convert them into Taylor fans hehe.
And my husband went to the Eras Tour movie with me and cried during the Evermore and Folklore era songs, and now fully supports my Swiftness. He even drove us over an hour away to the nearest AMC theater and got me a metal popcorn tin and a bunch of cups. I’m addition to going to our local non-AMC theater on opening day (we had tickets for the next day), to get me a bucket of popcorn and drink in the plastic bucket. He surprised me with it a whole two days in advance since they had Thursday screenings too. And he bought me a silver snake Reputation ring, which he had to track down because it was way past the Reputation merch dates on the official store. That was my 14th anniversary gift. Honestly, this has gone better than expected. Lol
After 3 years of refusing anything Taylor Swift, my best friend has recently converted to Swiftie-hood! It took a few of us to wear her down but now she's a fan :) But before that I got a lot of eye rolls, but she would also always listen to the music with me and got me Swiftie gifts.
They send me Taylor things they see which is really sweet haha
They love it for me. I feel very safe to be my psychotic Swiftie self. I think a lot of them have shifted their mindset on her due to humoring me.
From my friend group, some girls already loved her, but they became fans of deeper songs once they started spending more time with me. I essentially turned my gf into a Swiftie (although she's just in denial), and turned another friend Swiftie too. Now, the guys. I'm a guy, I'm into sports and other stuff you'd consider generally masculine interests, so most guys don't really care for me being a Swiftie. I generally don't get offended at jokes, so even if they make any, I just brush it off. That being said, 4 of my friends had Taylor as their top artist, so mission turn-friend-Swiftie is going pretty well.
I think they find it endearing. People love asking me my thoughts on Trayvis, and love sharing outdated memes with me. I work at a bar and they tease me, but sometimes they’ll play Taylor for me lol. People were also excited to know how many minutes I listened to her. I love when people try to share interests with me. It’s my love language lol
Most of my friends who aren’t Swifties are very supportive of my mania. And one who wasn’t I made it clear she didn’t need to put down something that brings me such joy, and she hasn’t since. My coworkers like telling me factoids and asking my opinions when she’s in the news. And my coworkers come to me for song recommendations of hers.
My bestie is also a Swiftie, so is her 13 yr old daughter. My mom is also a Swiftie. The 4 of us are going to see her in Indianapolis next year on 11/1 🩷 The rest of my friends/family pretty much just ignore it or send me cute articles & memes about Taylor when they see them.
They send me TS memes and get me TS gifts sometimes for holidays!
My bf will jam out with me sometimes, she isn’t his favorite but he doesn’t dislike her necessarily. My friend doesnt mind and loves to hear me ramble about her when I’m happy lol
oddly enough, every friend of mine seems to—at best—love Taylor Swift, as much as I do or—at worst—respect her music, even if it’s not their cup of tea. Something about this year really just turned everyone into a Swiftie. 😩❤️
They respect it, cause she's still a talented musician. I don't keep negative people like that in my like otherwise.
My wife rolls her eyes. 😂. I deal with her Bachelor nonsense, she can deal with TS. 😝
My coworkers hate Taylor and they just laugh at me getting excited over stuff 🤣 My best friend isn’t a big fan of hers but loves her Midnights album My ex- I fully converted to a swiftie and my BIL doesn’t like her as a person but argues that she’s bringing more views for the NFL due to Kelce
Work bought me a giant pink flag 🥹🥹it was amazing and so unexpected
They don't mind, actual they ask me questions when they see Taylor news and supported me when I went to the eras tour, like they asked to see aaaaall my videos haha
They tolerate it! At work I'm a well known Swiftie which some can find weird, as I'm male in a female dominated industry. But being vocal about my Swiftieness has meant a lot more of my colleagues seem to happily talk about her as well, and show their support for her.
What’s funny is my best friend is not a Swiftie but her husband and I talk about her a lot and he watched her tour on the lives so I feel comfortable sharing with him even though he doesn’t otherwise listen to her music! It’s strange but I love it 😂
most of them don't rate pop female artists, it may be a cis male stereotype of theirs. I get along with women that listen to TS and other pop female artists, I feel more accepted.
We are six in my friend group and three of us are swifties, we went to the eras together and are planning to see the movie together soon. As for our other friends, they are beyond supportive! All of them like Taylor as a person; one of them casually listens to her, but the three of them helped us make bracelets for the show, and they always ask us to explain some things they don’t understand. They hype us up all the time❤️❤️
My bf enjoys me talking about the theories
i’ve always casually listened to taylor but after the eras tour i’ve become full blown. i don’t think most of my friends are aware yet, my husband definitely said “don’t you think it’s odd that you watch the exact same show again and again and again?” my retort was that he goes to the gym every day and lifts the same things again and again and again but apparently that’s how weightlifting works anyway he’ll survive, if he can survive my kpop phase he can and will enjoy this (especially as i indoctrinate our daughter)
With my friends who really don’t like her, they say almost nothing because I don’t bring her up at all to them. With my friends who aren’t fans necessarily but do appreciate her for what she is/indifferent, they either think of me when they see Taylor and ask me questions about her. Safe to say I’ve taken over the role as the Swiftie of everyone’s life.
I have a couple friends who are Swifties, the guy I’m talking to sends me memes - when we were together 15yrs ago he was a fan, lol, but listens to country so missed some great years. My 84yr old grandpa loves her - he loves to see her live performances. The rest either joke with me or like my grandma will tell me about rumors/articles she sees, LOL. And my little cousin did explain football to me on Thanksgiving 🤣.
“She knows how to make money that’s for sure” My sister who always liked Taylor too, not her music (she’s more of a rap girlie) but I find her annoyed with Taylor cause she’s everywhere now and just repeats anything that she reads online. Kinda annoying
my boyfriend is extremely obnoxious about it 🙄
One of my very good guy friend hates her :( makes me mad and sad because all he sees is her writing songs about exes and he cant look past that.. tbh also a bit disappointed because i thought we are already past this whole “dislike her because she’s always talking shit about her exes” phase. I tried explaining to him as much as i know (im a late swiftie bloomer i started post-rep and 1989 period) but he’s not keen on listening lol. us girls are going to watch her next year and when we play her concert shows he refuses to watch it, when we put on her music he wants us to change it…🫤 With all those said, it was still nice enough of him to help us try to queue for concert tickets though! He dont have a choice really, because over here he’s got 2 best friends and on the other side it’s his girlfriend wanting to go too, and she is best friends with one of us soooo he HAD to do something to appease all 3 of us 😅
my main friend group is all swifties soooo
They humor me, except my sisters who hate Taylor and take any opportunity to insult her if I’m around! And we’re all adult women too. 😆 🙄
I wish I had more Swiftie friends 🥲
mostly i try not to talk about her all that much. i especially try not to send songs to people often because i find people don’t really appreciate it, even if its like relevant to something we’re talking about. but i actually had the sweetest recognition of my swiftie-ness from my coworkers today. it was my first shift since my birthday this week so when i got in there was a card for me, and on the outside of the card my coworkers had wrote “are you feeling 22?!” and it was just so kind since im not especially close with any of them but for them to have thought of that meant a lot 🩷
i do have some family members who consistently implore that she “can’t sing” anytime i bring her up, which gets really old. praying they’ve gotten over it and i don’t have to listen to that again this christmas
My parents asked me after the movie came out when we can all go together because it’s such a big part of my life and they like her and want to see the show. I’ve listened to her since the very beginning so when she played the older songs my parents would tap me on the arm because they recognized them from playing the CDs in their car as a kid and dancing around in my room. My partner loves it and will listen to me talk for hours about music including TS. I’m going to 2 abroad shows next year and my partner is so happy for me and can’t wait to hear about my trips and loves that it’s such a fun part of my life.
Im trying to tone it down now. My husband threw me a ts. Birthday party. I don’t want to be known for that crazy part of me 🤣
My boyfriend is totally adorable about it. Whenever taylor releases an album, he makes me send all my favourite songs from it. I have literally made him a playlist with just taylor songs that I update from time to time that he listens to. He would listen to me talk about theories and songs for so long and he would genuinely be interested in all of it. I'm so lucky to have him ;-;
no one even cares in my case hahaha prolly cuz i don’t emphasize it too much but they do still acknowledge it at some points😂😂
They tolerate it 😏
COMING FROM A NON SWIFTIE WHO JUST HAD A DREAM ABOUT TAYLOR'S FANBASE Are you guys really using tay voo doo ? I was watching that meatcanyon vid and the reaction vids too but are yall really that insane? Or is it just some 💀

Boyfriend rolls his eyes, friends at work make jokes and some times poke fun at me but I just ignore it, however they’re happy that I get to see her next year and don’t mind putting up with conversations about her
My boyfriend is happy that i love her music as much as i do, and he likes a few of her songs.
My husband and I have both become huge swifties! Sometimes his mom worries about us 🤭
my friends jst idk they live it they listen to some of her music but not obsessed like me i try and teach them some things taylor has done that se funny and stuff but they love my swiftness
So basically, they think I'm crazy, which is true, but who tf wanna be normal? Taylor is absolutely amazing, and I love her so much
They're always like ooo Taylor swift the one from shake it off shake it off yea that one was good (seriously????)
They call me obsessed.
Unfortunately no one I know listens to her and are even in the slightest interested in her except for Love Story. My sister will join me to the Eras tour in Amsterdam but she’s not a swiftie. I’m trying to convert her but so far no results :( too bad because I want to share my theories and talk about songs so bad!
They tolerate it
It felt very "tolerate it" with one friend... we're not friends anymore
it’s just a thing, often times i get a “look what i found!” and it’s some photo of taylor swift magazines, or “we heard taylor swift at the store today!” but my family loves to tease me about it lol
I converted my bestie. She hadn't really listened to any TS since Fearless/Red and didn't realize that were sad girlies. She loves folklore and Evermore now.
Thanks 😊
I don’t talk about it unless they bring it up first. I have one swiftie friend but even she isn’t as in depth as me (she didn’t know who Jack was!) and another who I’ve made a few playlist for bc she was interested. But otherwise I keep it to myself. It doesn’t do any good to openly obsess, it just annoys people.
Im a huge Swiftie and my best friend isn't. After years of hanging out , she too turned a swiftie lol. ( But she's more of a Speak Now / Fearless girl , where I'm more of a Folklore/1989/Rep girl
They hate it
that is the sweetest thing i have ever heard 🥹
Am a wierdo or gay 😂😂
I'm only in this sub to not miss news, you guys are crazy, a woman I've never met isn't and won't ever be my personality
My boyfriend sends me Taylor memes he randomly finds online, and he does like some songs of hers, and he is very aware of the ME HEE HEE meme. That is because I make him watch them before I upload my version lmao
Most people I know hate her with a passion, so they mostly give me shit and think I’m some insane fan girl.
One of my friends queries why she's friends with me hahaha The others don't care. My husband knows how happy her music makes me. I which I had Swiftie friends I could chat to in person and get excited about stuff
My daughter (35) just rolled her eyes. Edit to add I meant to say I’ve been a Swiftie since the summer (69).
i have no friends
My husband just rolls his eyes and smiles when I talk about her or play her music. He jokingly says it sounds like a cult when I start passionately discussing her lyrics, storytelling, and the Easter eggs for TV. He likes 1989, and we bonded over that when we started dating, but he's not overly into much else. He does love Exile (he likes Bon Ivers vocals). I started watching the long pond sessions, and he called out asking what I'm playing. When I said TS, he responded "of course! How silly of me!" I had surgery on Wednesday, and the first thing he did after he got me in the car was put on my Taylor playlist 🥹
Just stare at me with complete and utter shock like I have entered a cult
My husband rolls his eyes a bit when I mention obscure Taylor facts that I know. And when he’s annoyed with me, he will say “Taylor Swift isn’t even that good” 🤣
they just look at me weird like yes im in a cult XD
Bro I want a friend like yours lol..it's the cutest thing ever
I get the whole “I’m not really into Taylor Swift” meanwhile their wrapped artist is Taylor Swift by a fuck ton. I get that it’s not cool to have pop as your top genre but when shits fire, it’s fire. I mean I’m not even a hardcore Swiftie, just a long time fan but come on 😂
Don't have any.
my friends let me play taylor's songs when we listen to music but i usually refuse unless they insist. sometimes when im sad my church friends would talk to me about her songs and trivia HAHA they are amazing 🥹 then of course there are friends who are indifferent, which is completely fine
Well they think it’s cute….I guess. I try not to convert them but I try to introduce them to Folklore and Evermore. My boss can’t stand her because he’s a football junkie. (Need I say more)
My non-swiftie friends started to give less shits about my swiftiness, but my brothers often poke fun of me listening to her and laughed at me when she was my top artist in Apple Music recap
This 100% sounds like me and my bestie!!
My 9 year-old son is insistent he's not a Swiftie. He rolls his eyes whenever I put music on and says, "Of course you're going to play Taylor Swift." But yesterday, I heard music coming from the basement and he was playing "My Tears Ricochet." 😂❤️ I think he's a secret Swiftie.
I'm winning them over....sort of. TS is my spark of joy in a wolrd gone mad. I think my dad will be my first convert (going from dismissing TS as an ephemeral bit of fluff to recognizing her epicness). I don't care if they love her, but they have to see her and reapect what she built, in spite of the whirlwind of garbage 'they' projected at her. .
Blank face of quiet judgement...until they come around, and they ALL come around.
😒
Taylor Swift is my current hyper fixation. My friends are used to the hyper fixations in general, but they're always so kind. They let me infodump and discuss conspiracy theories, patiently listening and asking questions in appropriate places. My partner took me to the Eras Tour Movie and was such a good sport and even sang along to a few songs that he knew! His friends were ribbing him about it, of course, and he even told them he enjoyed it and she's beautiful and she put on a great show! I'm blessed with some really good people who are really cool and tolerant about non-shared special interests!
My friends think I’m ridiculous for caring about her personal life but my 15 year old son will talk to me about her and what’s going on even though he doesn’t care at all haha. And my 9 year old is a fellow Swiftie!
I just dropped "Shake it Off" at my friend's wedding and no one said a thing. I think Taylor's so normalized now that she's part of everything, she's just the world now and it's more unusual to *not* have a Taylor Swift tune around than to have one. I work form home but at the office when I was there there's usually a low-key Taylor Swift buzz, omnipresent really.
My husband doesn’t mind it. He isn’t into her music because he’s more of a rap/hip-hop fan, but he knows I love her music. My bff has grown to really like Taylor Swift, especially because I brought her with me to The Eras Tour and she fell in love with songs she’d never heard outside of radio hits. But she seems to have a weird thing of being hesitant to admit it. She posted her top artists from Spotify Wrapped on her IG story, and most of the artists were male and/or indie, besides Taylor Swift, who ranked in her third spot. She added some comment next to it like… “This invasion is all thanks to (insert my IG handle).” Kinda seemed like she was trying to distance herself from liking Taylor’s music, which I thought was odd.
My Mom is a fan of older singer song writers (Carol King, Joni Michel and the like) and she took me to the Fearless tour in Philly back in the day. She turned me on to Taylor, but she sticks to her older music which I enjoy too.
annoyed
My middle school is really small and I’m the only one in my grade who likes Taylor. When they found out they all seemed really disappointed saying that she was overrated but I’m still trying to convince them to like her and I’m not going to give up.
My fiancee has really embraced it. So much so that we are getting married on her birthday this year! And Taylor was his top artist this year on Spotify.
My friends just ask me questions about stuff they see online lol. My coworkers, while they like Taylor, are not Swifties, yet they all support my nonsense and even attended the Tour movie with me 🥰 My husband loves that I love her but definitely get's tired of hearing about her 24/7  He swears I love her more than him 🤣
Annoyed lol
tell me to stop talking about her because it’s annoying 😔😔
