I agree, this Swift obsession is very strange. It‘a a teenage thing to follow her little mysteries or stories, make bracelets, whatever it is they do, is it not? I’ve heard her music of course and it’s not my taste. My children are all male so I don’t hear it from them either, so I’m not exactly sure what the entire thing is all about. Liking music can be intergenerational but Anna doesn’t mention the music.
Taylor Swift is herself in her 30s, and she's been around for a long time. It's not weird at all for women in their 30s and 40s to be into her. All the Swifties I personally know are grown women, if not middle-aged. I don't know any teens, so I didn't even conceive of Swift being a teen thing until this tour came to my city for SIX DAYS, and I saw all the little Swifties in their outfits. But it would be naive to think the stadium was only full of teens, especially considering the cost of tickets. It's just that the adult fans didn't dress up.
Which bolsters the rest of your point. I don't think it would be weird for Anna to be a Swiftie... but I DO believe her interest in Swift is not genuine. It feels like she never talked about it until very recently. Contrast to her interest in Hallmark style movies, which is a constant presence, even in the tone of all her posts. She honestly aspires for her life to be a Hallmark movie.
She could have just recently gotten into Swift, but dollars to donuts, she's just jumping on the bandwagon, after it took her AGES to notice Swift's popularity. The jacket stuff is tacky on an SUV-sized 40 year old woman. How embarrassing.
I guess she’s going to Canada to see Swift? Looks like the last dates of the year are in Vancouver starting the 6th.
More evidence of how late to the party she is. Tickets went on sale for this tour over a year ago. She slept on it so long, she had to get tickets for the very last leg. Probably missed the dates in any city closer to her entirely, instead of just missing out on tickets.
What, was it also one of her lifelong dreams to visit BC, which she's never once spoken about?
