#day?? the absolute hit to like. the rewards system of a swifties brain would be insane to feel like they Got her and were Right. too good t

I don’t know if you want to continue this at all, but I find swiftie internet culture soooo interesting (my stance is that I like her music, but don’t consider myself a swiftie because I’m fairly indifferent to her as a person if that makes sense? I know quite a bit because her impact on culture is interesting)? Like the theories and the secret symbols they pick up (like six stairs, five holes in the fence = countdown), which most of the time aren’t actually there, but every once in a while, the like 1% of theories are actually proved (like the blue outfit rotations recently to signal 1989 tv, or the elevator goes to floor 3 in the bejeweled mv, signalling speak now tv).

oh i would be soooo happy to continue this discussion bc i'm in the same position as you, enjoying her music but not really caring about her/being part of the fandom but God is it interesting to watch the swiftie culture. the theories and secret symbols swifties are always picking up on is definitely one of the most interesting things, because taylor Has set the expectation that she hides symbolism and hints for whats to come in music videos, outfits she wears, etc, swifties now looking for clues in Everything, even where there absolutely is nothing. they often seem to Find things just because they want the symbolism to be there and it's just. so interesting bc, from an outside perspective, the symbols she leaves are often Glaringly obvious, she isn't as much of a mastermind as they act she is like. it is just so so interesting to see how she opened the door for some speculation and hint finding, and it's snowballed into swifties being like. unhinged levels of speculative. a very huge testament to the influence she has over her audience and how insane the power one celebrity can have over the people that like them.
