    Her music is mid but if she manages to shift the electorate left even a few degrees I’ll be the biggest Swiftie ever. As a 45 year old divorced guy I realize this will be incredibly creepy but it’s worth it.

      Oh she’s absolutely shifted it. Telling people to register to vote, to go vote. She’s had an impact.

      It’s really interesting too. If I remember right, she said in a pandemic era interview that she was told to not go political in country music. She came to realize though she needed to say something – she was rather disturbed by the far right claiming her as an Aryan goddess or something. A gay friend of hers also encouraged her to use her platform to promote gay rights.

      Long story short though, she’s realized the importance of speaking out, and her newer songs talk about gender norms and how she’s expected to be a wife and all that. She’s a really interesting person!

      And I’m a 29 year old dude, just accept the Swiftness into your soul

      It wouldn’t really be that weird if you became a Swiftie lol. I think a lot of people who aren’t already fans of Taylor Swift may be forgetting she’s been famous for almost twenty years… Most (but not all) people attending the Eras tour and going to see the concert movie are millennial women in their 30s.

        According to Spotify, Midnights has made me a Swiftie. I’ve listened to that record …too much.

      Here in my country, it’s not hard to find male Swifties your age. Not really surprising since we’re the first country in 2022 to have Cruel Summer back in our charts, several months before it went #1 in USA.

      I am pretty much the same demographic as you, and firmly not her target audience. But when she rerecorded her entire back catalogue to stiff some record industry creep, that was punk as fuck and I’m down for it.
