Taylor Swift 101: the Ultimate Guide to Becoming a Swiftie🫶

i’ve been wanting to make this video for a while because over the last few years, the Swiftie fandom has grown exponentially with folklore/evermore, the re-recordings, Midnights and of course, the Eras Tour💖

i wanted to sit down and talk about Taylor’s life and career, and give some context to some of the most pivotal moments and key details. i also wanted to let everyone in on the inside jokes we have as a fandom and with Taylor :) i talked for wayyyyy too long so buckle up and grab some popcorn hahah

I am a 79 year old who became a Swiftie this year. All you need to become a Swiftie is hear a few of her songs. The concerts, interviews, videos, easter eggs etc. are simply delicious bonuses.

The clip with Taylor accepting her first award when she says “you have changed my life“ to the fans ..always brings tears to my eyes.. that moment is just wow

[TonyZhang]

There was the one 'Bad blood (security version)' with the lyrics: 'She wasn't doing anything', 'hey! stop!' 🤣

[MasterRahl]

I'm a 42 year old dude and I'm becoming a Swiftie slowly but surely. It started because I'm a Chiefs fan but Taylor is truly an amazing musician.

[alexnicole]

As a veteran swiftie (been here since debut!), I can’t wait to watch this video. I love remembering all the eras and all the memories associated with them 💚💛💜❤️🩵🖤🩷🩶🤎💙🤍

[annaphallactic]

It's funny how you talked about gatekeeping but as someone who's been a punk and indie fan since the 90s...Swifties are the single most welcoming fandom I've ever been a part of. Y'all are so nice!

[leannewalker]

As an older Swiftie I laughed so hard at Pegacorn, sea urchin, “yes. Whale” and “my mind is alive, ” 😂great video ❤

[magicmira]

Another inside joke that always makes me crack up is "seven seconds of static noise" from 1989 when they accidentally released that and it went #1 on the iTunes charts and then it happened again for Tortured Poets recently 😭😭

[Anthology_of_Holly]

I honestly think that Karma was just the working title or like ‘secret code’ for reputation in the way that Woodvale was for folklore. I think if anything the fact she released a song called Karma kind of proves that it isn’t an album (or at least not one she ever plans on releasing). Would love to be proven wrong though because I’m dying for a rock album 🙏🏼

**proceeds to show this to my parents**
Seriously, this is like the best "documentary" regarding Taylor Swift - or even regarding any artists really.❤

[alexarobertson]

Being a newer fan (got into her as Midnights was coming out. Was far too “pick-me” when debut came out and that clouded my judgement) I am obsessed! I feel like getting into her music late is almost a blessing because there is just SO MUCH CONTENT! I am a greedy consumer of content, be it music, documentaries or YouTube videos, I can’t get enough! 😂

[JetpackLiamG]

I have a lot of misheard lyrics i enjoy lol

- my frozen friends watch my reign end
- lights and boys are blinding
- thats my toe
- your neck was hanging from my neck

[christalyon]

An 1 hour video from Nena.. best thing that has happened to me this weekend😭😭

[Leonor]

I am a swiftie but im still watching this

[AndrewKerr]

This as good as a Taylor Swift Career Retrospective till now. Love your work Nena!!!

As someone who lives 75 minutes away from Calvin’s home town here in Scotland. I forget he exists, regularly.

[alltooswift.]

I love how I'm already a swiftie, but I'm watching this anyway, haha.

[freyab]

One of my fav things ever is the "JE SUIS CALME" from the bts. The way she screams it is so funny! Also some funny misheard lyrics I saw on tiktok.
- The duck is vegan (ready for it)
- I see ratatouille (the archer)
- I feel eleven turkeys creeping up on me (lavender haze)

[Iza_starsdoyoulikedem]

Please, please, PLEASEEEE keep making theese rlly long vids, I love to watch them while crocheting or making friendship bracelets! I’m going to paris night 2 (I live in Canada tho) anyone else?

[sangitanandi]

That recipe reply was hilarious 😂😂
"Cause the Bakers gonna bake, bake, bake, bake, bake"
"3 TAYblespoons (I'm so annoying, it astounds me sometimes)"
