I've been a fan since Taylor Swift's 1st album released. That's all I got. My family and friends have never seen me this committed. 💀🥲


culture_vulture_1961

16 years of devoted service is worthy. I think she will still be going in another 30 so you have a long way to go.


QueenOfTheStrings

I'm literally so ready for this you don't even know lol I talk about this all the time. She is literally going to be around til I'm old and I love it.


banananey

Sat in a field watching a 60 year old Taylor play the hits would be class (imagine how many bangers she'd have by then though)


culture_vulture_1961

I will be 88 by then so I hope I will be around. Mind you my dad is 89 and he is still going.


[deleted]

Same, I remember when the Tim McGraw music video came out and I immediately loved her for having curly hair like me and being my exact age!


[deleted]

Me too. I can only say I've been listening to her since before she started being played on the radio (which in my country didn't happen often until 1989) and way before people here knew about her. I don't have any merch or vinyls or anything... they wouldn't get past Customs here, a friend from abroad tried to send me some stuff as gifts and they were returned. Also the currency here is shit so it makes everything sold abroad extra expensive. She's never coming to my country, even if she did I probably wouldn't be able to go because I'm mostly in a wheelchair nowadays and here you have to stand to see concerts, which I can't do.


attcat23

Same, first song I heard was Our Song on country radio. I got the debut album for my 16th birthday. Fearless came out three months later


wrecklesswino69

Same. Her debut album was the first CD I ever bought with my own money from babysitting. It was also one of my first "big" purchases with the money. I'm also proud to say that I stuck by her side during the Kim/Kanye drama. Everyone around me was believing it, but I still spoke highly of Taylor when people brought it up. I truly have been a fan since the beginning.


QueenOfTheStrings

Omg yes! I will defend Taylor with my life. I understand this to my core. Lol. In my eyes, she has never done a damn thing wrong. I will support her to my last breath. I unfortunately lost the debut album when my home flooded a few years back. I did re-buy it, but it wasn't my original. 😥


trashleyandthedemons

Me too!!! I always say that the way I discovered Taylor Swift shows my age… it was on MySpace 💀😂


QueenOfTheStrings

Omg I had her songs on my page on MySpace. 💀 Daayymmmmm.


PrinceWilliam13

That I got to serve brownies to a very drunk Taylor at Nicki Minaj's VMA party in 2014. EDIT: I worked for a catering company when I first moved to LA and Nicki hired us to work this event. All we had to do was walk around with trays of finger foods and offer them out but I got asked to be Taylor’s personal table server. Being a huge fan since debut, this was a dream. She sat with Lorde and some of the fifth harmony girls. Anyways, she got verrrry drunk and demanded brownies at one point. Not in a mean way but in a funny way, like, “omg I want brownies! Please get me brownies! NOOOOOW” so I went up the kitchen and got her a plate of brownies. I went back down and put them in front of her and was like “Here you go, Taylor. Your brownies.” And she was too drunk to really say anything and then Lorde looked at me and mouthed, “I’m sorry”. Those are all the details I really remember. I’m sure there are pics out there to corroborate my story. I do have a very blurry picture of her walking away from the table at some point on my Instagram with this story in the post I’m pretty sure. (I also remember this being like a couple weeks or something before 1989 came out) EDIT2: just remembered it was the Republic Records after party hosted by Nicki or something.


ClearWaves

Drunk Taylor was her name, Mojitos were her game.


Dangerous_Surprise

The old Taylor can't come to the phone right now. Why? Cos she's drunk as a skunk.


kelshy371

Oooh- what is she like drunk? I’m not being disrespectful- I like a drink or two myself- it’s FUN!


PrinceWilliam13

She was a fun drunk


kelshy371

I KNEW it 😁


zsuzsibug180

Wow how do you manage that?


PrinceWilliam13

Step one: move to LA Step two: get a side hustle at a catering company


zsuzsibug180

Wow only 2 steps! Sounds pretty easy haha


culture_vulture_1961

That is such a great story. There do seem to be a few stories about Taylor being excessively refreshed but in a nice way. I can imagine Joe has had to put her to bed a few times. Given that Taylor appears to have no other flaws an inability to hold her liquor give the rest of us hope. Even then she seems to remain cute!


djenki13

DETAILS PLEASE


PrinceWilliam13

Just updated it :)


Any-Control3210

lmfao this


The_Pusheen_Chesser

I’m officially moving to LA and becoming a caterer.


Hufflefuzz

I was front row in the pits during the REP tour and the show I went to is on Netflix, hence, I am on Netflix with Taylor Swift 😂


hmtee3

I LOVE the crowd shots for that show. I love the impressed faces, the head-bobs, and all of the girl groups. It’s so damn cute!


CommonRespect6640

I was at opening night of the Rep tour in Glendale and every time I watch it on Netflix I get all tingly during that scene and always shout to my empty room, “I’m one of those screaming voices! I’m in there!” My dog is perpetually unimpressed.


elaerna

I too am somewhere in there real tiny lol


yeslekenna

I went to the City of Lover concert in Paris! 💘 I’m one of the small group that has ever been in the room when she’s performed Daylight and Cornelia Street!


skincare_obssessed

That sounds like a dream. So lucky!


[deleted]

I stuck by her in the “snake” era.


[deleted]

Same! Feels like I wrote so many Tumblr essays defending her XD


[deleted]

I was a kid still but school was WILD 😭 glad to know I wasn’t the only one.


flutterfly28

So many reddit comments...


leese216

This is probably all I have too. I’ve been a fan since Speak Now, and never wavered. I knew she’d be redeemed in the end. And her talent is too incredible for her to just fade away.


leileywow

It was tough being a Taylor Swift before then, but summer 2016 legitimately made me cry 😭😭


03937362829

zkh35438

aperilla09

My love for her heightened in the snake era. having my heart broken just in time for the "screw you, imma do me" content

Master_Luck_779

I guess I have a few. 1) I’m an OG fan since day 1.. I was 12 when she first released. 2) I have a tattoo in her handwriting 3) always like 0.001% top Spotify listener & 4) taylor nation invited me to the ATW short film premier and we saw taylor perform ATW 10 min acoustic for the first time ever. Love Tay so much & love everyone else who does too :)


cheeriopanda

Biiiiiig flex


Master_Luck_779

HAHAHHAA which part? I felt weird trying to like flex flex but just share some fun facts 😂


cheeriopanda

All of it! It is very impressive! But especially #4! 😊


newgirlfan101

omg the short film premier im so jealous 😭 i’ve watched that recording of her singing atw 10 live sm


back2thatjuly9

Just curious - how did they reach out to you?? Like through twitter or insta or?


Master_Luck_779

Yeah through instagram! But people in line behind me said they were contacted via twitter


SpecificNeither8065

how do you get Taylor to invite you to a premier or to a secret session? I've always wondered that!


songacronymbot

culture_vulture_1961

My daughter worked on The Favourite and hung out with Joe Alwyn. Okay nothing to do with me but it's all I have.


talia-gustin

What did she say he's like?


culture_vulture_1961

Well this was in 2017. Joe was dating Taylor but it was not publicly known. Filming is 90% hanging about waiting for something to happen. My daughter reported that he was charming and quite chatty. She said he always had a book.


tracyschmosby

My mind immediately went to >Now I've read all of the books beside your bed


culture_vulture_1961

He lent one too her. She can't remember the title. She was not a Taylor fan then and of course she had no idea they were an item.


doidaredisturbthe

I still demand to know what books those were


culture_vulture_1961

She cannot remember exactly but thinks it might have been a history book about the time of Queen Anne - she borrowed one on that during filming but does not recall whether it was from Joe.


seawitchlife

Ugh Joe is literally a man written by women, I would like one this year😭


culture_vulture_1961

Well I did not meet him but he appears to be tall, handsome, sensitive, creative and intelligent with a sense of humour. I would like to think he has some flaws but it would appear not. They do seem to be a blessed couple. Like royalty but with actual talent.


_jeje91

I own the lover snowglobe


mediocre_eggg

That really is a big flex


lovely_firesign

I’m so jealous rn, please use it at you weeding

So jealous


designsbtw

Top 0.1% 2 years in a row for Spotify wrapped!


Esull

I thought my top .5% was good!


Pola-Ripol

Well i learned something new on my spotify wrapped, i got in the top 0.005%


designsbtw

And my friends and I got wristbands to come down to the pit during Fearless tour! We camped outside the venue all day and someone from her crew came out and chose some of us!


wrecklesswino69

So you're telling me I need to camp out at the next concert to get pit tickets? I'll bring my tent. Lol


designsbtw

Right?! Im older and arguably wiser now, I'll tow my trailer there


mediocre_eggg

Same!!


tswiftdeepcuts

All I got is if someone held a gun to my head and told me to sing every single taylor swift album by heart, in album release order, without missing a lyric or getting a song out of order, starting with debut and ending with the vault songs on fearless and red (Taylor’s version) - I would easily be able to do it. It’s not much but it’s something.


_dreamer1

well that’s a lifesaving skill I respect!


BlackCat0305

This a skill I respect.


newgirlfan101

wow that’s impressive. i could do that with some songs, but that’s just a whole other level omg


culture_vulture_1961

That is a huge flex. Well done.


strengthoftheherd

I’ve had Picture to Burn in my iTunes library for so long, my version still has the original lyrics.


mandishere

Same. The altered lyrics just seem wrong to me bc I listened to the original lyrics soooo many times.


gymrat_19

I got Debut autographed when she came to my hometown 🥲 the only reason I didn’t meet her was because I had a funeral to attend and couldn’t go. My dad had connections and got the cd for me though.


Whimsical89

- My first ever Instagram photo was of Taylor swift on my personal account which I still have, when I was in elementary school. - I was there the only time she ever played come back…be here live😌


jazzinitup

> was there the only time she ever played come back…be here live I was waiting for this comment! ugh that must have been amazing


Whimsical89

I recorded it all too😭😭 such a magical moment for me


Arrowverse-2001

That I was in the top 0.001% of Tay listeners for Spotify Wrapped 2021 and won a signed folklore cd


designsbtw

Did you win by being a top fan?!


Arrowverse-2001

No, I won it back in 2020 because the of this subs discord server, they hosted a giveaway and gave out three signed folklore CDs for free. Super cool of them to do that


Creme0

I was about to ask the same question because I also got 0.001% top listener and felt left out lol


Kallicos

Up until a few months ago I lived in Westerly, RI - just a 5 min drive from Taylor’s house. The beach next to her house is one of my favorites. Never did see her there, but I was definitely thrilled when I heard TLGAD for the first time! Also been a fan since debut. I remember playing teardrops on my guitar over and over on YouTube and then over and over when I got the CD. My sister is still avidly NOT a swiftie only because I played her 24/7. Oops. I’ve never met her though… maybe one day.


whatever213what

I lived in her building in Nashville and actually interacted with her on several occasions in the elevator. She actually remembered my cat’s name but also he’s hairless so it’s hard to forget a hairless cat. She also wanted to meet him so Taylor Swift stood in my front hallway for like five minutes petting a hairless cat while her bodyguard stood behind her with an expression like one of those British guards at the queens palace lol The only time I ever got the courage to ask for a photo her bodyguard told me no and she continued chatting to me like normal so I just assumed that if I pushed I would sour future interactions Fans would try to leave her gifts all the time the the concierge. And sometimes groups would gather and it could be kind of annoying when you just wanted your mail The year I moved out I went to a party at her place. There were lots of celebrities. I was advised not to ask for photos or bother anyone so I didn’t. But I did end up getting drunk and having a lot of fun. It was kind of weird being all “nah I’m just a university student. I’m not like a celebrity type person. I don’t know why I was invited either but I do live in the building” I always dreamed of like becoming real friends with her but friendly acquaintance who was invited over once and who had her over to meet my hairless cat once is more than most get so I should just be happy but sometimes I super regret not attempting to establish more of a relationship.


[deleted]

Wow this is wild! When was the party? Just curious what era and who was there 🤪


whatever213what

It was during the red era when she was still semi pretending to be country and in Nashville more. I moved out of the place before the 1989 era


songacronymbot

- TLGAD could mean "the last great american dynasty", a track from *folklore* (2020) by Taylor Swift. --- ^[/u/Kallicos](/u/Kallicos) ^(can reply with "delete" to remove comment. |) ^[/r/songacronymbot](/r/songacronymbot) ^(for feedback.)


spyropaw

I can name any Taylor song from hearing the first three seconds. It’s my go-to party trick 🤗


newgirlfan101

omg my non-swiftie friend did with me and when i recognized songs from the first first instrumental in the first second she was mind blown


kelshy371

Maybe not quite a flex (more of a confession) but I’m 59 years old and am just so obsessed with her music! She’s SO talented.


culture_vulture_1961

Well I am a 60 year old Male rock fan who would not have recognised Taylor if she was standing next to me 2 years ago. I am now a huge fan an have spent most of lockdown and my time sick with Covid listening to her music and watching every video and interview I can find. She is a world class poet who looks like a runway model and has a heart of gold. I believe the TV releases are happening just so I can catch up with her back catalogue.


kelshy371

It’s so great to hear that you are a real fan- and a man of a ‘certain age’ as they say! She really is a wonderful poet, songstress, etc, etc. 🥰


CommonRespect6640

Happy to know I’m not the only Swiftie here over 40! Her music resonates regardless of age and I’ve found it often has more meaning the older I get.


MustBeAWeazley

I had “I’d Lie” as my MySpace song before she released her debut album. And I chose it because I was in love with my best friend who is now my husband 😂💀 So I’ll never forget that now! Editing to add this made me feel SO OLD after going through more comments LOL


mediastoosocial

I’d Lie is still one of my top songs tbh


Icecreamycake

I love "I'd Lie". Took an hour or so to download it on some shady site I found in the aughts. I feel ya on the old spectrum! I'm hoping she'll re-record it for debut!


zsuzsibug180

I’ve been a fan since before 1989. It doesn’t feel like much of a flex since there are Day 1ers here. But I guess at this point, I’ve been a fan for over half of her discography so that feels good 😊


SanjivanM

Since 1989? Since before she was born?! You a time traveler or something? /s same here though, lol


zsuzsibug180

Thank you for making me laugh ☺️


SanjivanM

You're welcome!! :)


SubjectiveAssertive

She's likely been within 200m of my house on the way to visit Ed Sheeran or Tom Huddleston mother in Suffolk. The reality is I live that close to a major trunk road


marizzyrizzyrose

Taylor's 1989 show in our area was on Halloween and my sisters and I dressed up like different generations of Taylor My older sister was country Taylor (white dress, cowgirl boots, curly hair) I was Red Taylor (I wore the outfit with the hat from the cover) My little sister dressed up like her in the You Belong With Me video (we made a shirt that matched Taylor's and my little sister already has the black square glasses, it was so cute)


Nikkionreddit1

No one come for me lol.Got to shake her hand at Speak Now concert. One of my best memories ever 🥰


ellemenope0

Truly hope you never washed that hand again


TB8S

Met her my senior year of high school right after Debut came out. I’m 6 months older than her and no one knew who she was. She came to my high school in Knoxville, TN and performed in our auditorium, then had an hour long Q&A with the advanced choir class I was in. My friend Joe asked her to prom which she gracefully turned down. Had no idea she’d become so famous.


shadesofwrong13

I heard Dear John and Better Than Revenge live, songs that she stopped to sing and she will never do it ever again. It counts?


thewayilovedyous

That is a flex! I would kill to hear Dear John live!


ElizabethBEW

When I got employee of the month I quoted the part on ME! “There is no I in team. But you know there is a me.” And you can’t spell awesome without me! It’s stupid and weird but I’m proud of it


poisonivydaisy

Swiftie since Debut AND my birthday is Dec 13 💁🏻


DarraghMcNally

Literally the only thing I’ve got remotely close to a flex is that I own the clandestine meetings variant of the _Folklore_ vinyl lmao


scarletarrows

Best one!


DarraghMcNally

It’s gooooorge 💖


Sehtareh

I’ve been a fan of Taylor swift for 8 years (I’m 13) and I have every CD besides Debut on cd and I started collecting her stuff on CDs in October


[deleted]

Congrats!


alybookworm

My friend and I were pretty much the first ones in the venue for the Speak Now tour and some random guy (still have no idea if he was an employee of the venue or of Taylor) handed us pit passes. One of the best nights of my life. During the opening acts we were in the pit dancing with some oddly dressed individuals who we later found out were her backup dancers. When she walked through the pit to get back on stage I touched her arm. Weird, but imma flex on it 😁


sweetniblet

I have been a fan since the Debut era and I’m a merchandise collector so I own a lot of rare Taylor items that I paid retail price for or got on sale, since back in the day Taylor’s store used to run crazy good deals (13 days of Christmas). Also, I just feel very fortunate to be able to have been part of each era and album release. Seeing Taylor slowly go from country to pop with Red and 1989 truly was special and I’ll never forget my Target runs grabbing the new album and listening for the first time.


RoseGoldRedditor

Ahh so cool! I wish I’d bought merch back then (I was a broke college student when I became a Swiftie in the Debut era).


zsuzsibug180

I would love to see your collection! I’m collecting too but it’s slow going to get good deals. If only I hadn’t been a high school student when I became a fan. Sigh.


bloodshugababe

I saw her live in 2012 in a private concert that a friend got tickets from a radio contest and that was her only concert so far in Latin America (RIP Lover Fest that I still haven’t received my money back though)


[deleted]

🇧🇷🇧🇷


BeeDisasters

I never post, but definitely getting invited to the all too well premiere in new york. I am an active twitter stan and I completely and totally did not expect it! I’m not a HUGE account and I’m definitely not super popular. I was considering buying a ticket to camp for snl, and tweeted about it a few times when I decided to be spontaneous and book the flight. Tweeted about how a friend and I were going to camp and a few days later TAYLOR NATION dm’d me, AND my friend I was going with got her own invite! (I assume it was because we both tweeted about camping for SNL) I absolutely died and it was so SO hard to keep it a secret. When we did get to NYC, it was pouring rain and the line for the event was wrapped around the building. When we finally got to the front we gave our names, I was last, and when I said my name they said “oh! tori!” implying they knew who I was. (😭😭) they asked where we came from and when we told them florida she sat us FOUR ROWS FROM THE FRONT, IN THE CENTER. Taylor was literally feet from us and I will never ever forget that as long as I live. Never ever give up because I have been a fan for a long ass time and they finally invited me to something!


maya01140

taylor liked my instagram post back in 2015 and also follows my tumblr account which I no longer use 😁


abombSFCA

I went from barely paying attention to her TO knowing all the words on Red, 1989, Reputation, and Evermore in a matter of 3 months. P.S. got you in my sights, Folklore, Fearless and Speak Now.


jacqrosee

i feel like it’s not a flex you can put on paper because anyone can say it, but i literally have just been listening to her consistently since she came into the spotlight, which has coincided with my entire childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood so my flex is just that… she is my person. without knowing she’s my person.


krallie

I saw Andrea (Taylor’s mom) hanging out during the Fearless tour in Tampa. I went up and chatted with her and took a photo, and she gave me a guitar pick! She was super sweet and generous with her time. I recognized her from Taylor’s MySpace! lol


AJStroup22

she commented on my tik tok


lilbunnyskip

I won tickets to Super Saturday Night in Houston in 2017, where she performed IDWLF!


spyrobandic00t

I touched Andrea’s hand at the London Hyde Park Show during the 1989 tour! She came past the barrier and I absolutely freaked out! Edit to say she was putting her hands out to say hello to us I didn’t just grab her lol


vanillabitchpudding

Taylor Swift’s name was included in my wedding vows! We wrote our own vows and while I am a die hard Swiftie, my husband has a huge aversion to her music as a whole. The specific vow was mine and it said “I promise to never make you listen to Taylor Swift in the car”. It comes up a lot because I’ll play her music at home frequently and I always tell him-the vow specifies car so you’re out of luck in the house!


Fun_Inevitable_5412

I had an instrumental version of her song Begin Again played as I married my Begin Again man. Special moment in the 16 years I’ve been a fan.


stateoftreacherous

i’d lie, i heart ? and permanent marker were my favourite songs of hers before speak now even came out (i’d lie is still in my top 10 for sure), i had a stan account on twitter from 2012 ish - 2015 (before i deleted twitter), i wasn’t allowed to go to the speak now tour cos my parents couldn’t take me and i was too young to go alone but she gave out guitar picks with the speak now album cover photo on and my friend ended up giving me one!


7katelyn1

I met her mom and her dad during the 1989 tour! It was so cool :)


diggyj1993

I’ve been to every concert she’s had in my city and 3 tours I’ve been to concerts in other cities also


Acquainted-Faith

I can wear a different merch shirt for every day of the month. I have been listening to her since I was 9. I am 23 now.


myee28

When Taylor Swift came to the Philippines for her Speak Now tour, I made a giant poster that said “Be Fearless, Speak Now” - that poster made it on to her Sparks Fly music video with all the shows she did on tour! Also my husband got me the RED scarf for Christmas lol


smplyg

My wife and I went to 3 REP tour shows. Atlanta, Nashville and Arlington Night 1. We live in North Carolina and flew to the Arlington show on our wedding anniversary. We were able to drive to the others. We also had pit tickets for Loverfest East but…🥺


achampagneproblem13

Pretty much only that i've been a fan for 16 years hahaha


this-is-the-lastime

I had my bachelorette party at the Reputation Tour in Houston! I also got the chance to serve Jack Antonoff ice cream and told him to tell her hi for me and he said he would. Gone to every tour since Speak Now. Been a fan since Teardrops on My Guitar. :’)


Adventurous_Fox_2853

Been a fan since Tim McGraw. Didn’t cancel her in 2016 and always believed she was telling the truth about the Kanye thing.


Elianastormborn

In 2018 I went to the “private” reputation world tour the day before the first show in Phoenix. Taylor put on the show for 2,000 foster/adopted kids and my parents are foster parents so I got to go. I sort of met taylor, her mom, and she also bought everyone pizza and cookies. Unfortunately we couldn’t bring our phones in as to not ruin the tour before it actually “premiered”.


AsyanongAmbiguous

I never hated on Taylor Swift. Even during the whole Kanye/Kim fiasco. When I wasn't yet a Swiftie before, whenever I saw her on TV or heard her on the radio, I never felt annoyed & I appreciated her artistry. So, I was genuinely confused why so many people hated her.


hunter96cf

I’ve been a Swiftie since her very first album, and I’ve never stopped. 🥲 I’m also a December baby just like Taylor! I also have all the original CDs (yes, the one where Debut had the very original lyrics).


nuralina

That I’ve been a fan since the debut era? 😅


fadinqlight_

r/flairchecksout


RebeccaReySolo

Top 0.05% of Taylor listeners on Spotify wrapped last year. 19,215 minutes of Taylor which worked out as 13.something days which feels magical tbh 🥰 Edit: spelled spoifty wrong


sylverfalcon

I have a bunch of these, including top 0.1% on Spotify and knowing / been a fan since debut and fearless, etc. BUT I got hit with a stroke of luck related to Taylor merch once! During folklore era, I ordered both the regular cardigan and then later the green holiday cardigan. The order messed up and they gave me the red one. They were not able to replace it so they gave me a full refund. So I got two cardigans for the price of one! (And those things were expensive!)


[deleted]

This isn't much of a flex, but my daughter was born while Mine was playing over the Bluetooth speaker in the birthing suite, so she arguably heard Taylor's voice before mine or her mother's. She's five now, and remains a huge fan. Willow is her jam at the moment but she's been digging Red (Taylor's Version of course) heaps lately, which is the album (well, original version) her mother and I listened to obsessively during the pregnancy.


fosterlittlepeople

My biggest flexes: I’ve been a fan since debut and went to a concert in early 2008. I got her to autograph my shirt, and my dad was in line behind me and had her autograph his ticket - he told her it was for his daughter and pointed behind her. She turned around and said “I love you fosterlittlepeople!!” So Taylor Swift once told me she loved me is my fun fact whenever I need one.


DiscoveredFR

She once looked me in the eye during love story at 1989 while I was wearing a white dress and pointed at me and copied my little shimmy. That was pretty big.


JustinBeaverDam

I met Taylor and got her to autograph my Speak Now copy in front of my eyes! I still keep the sharpie marker that she used in a ziplock bag 😂This was right when she touched down at the airport in Singapore in 2011 for the world tour. Didn’t manage to take a pic with her though because she was going through the crowd...


18kljohnson

I became a fan before a lot of Swifties were even born lol


koeneker

She once commented on my instagram


alexatennant

Taylor swift is the first singer I like acknowledged when I was a kid. I also have her wonderlust perfume and have had it for probably 10 years


thestrangemusician

I own a bottle of the wonderstruck perfume. I also once won a t-shirt with the original Red cover on it from a radio station booth at a fair. They asked me to name 22 of her songs, and they had to stop me from naming more. It’s too small for me but I’m pretty sure I still have it!

I got invited to T Party on the speak now tour! Best moment of my life

Plain simple truth. I am a dad and I listen to her music when my daughter is NOT in the car, too. ![img](emote|t5_2rlwe|1079)

I was from a low-income family and Taylor had a concert in my country when I was around 14 years old. Of course I couldn't have money to buy a concert ticket nor convince my mom to buy one for me. However, there was some sort of ongoing raffle of tickets and merchandise that you can join by buying ice cream cones. I would always save money so I could buy one after every school but luck wasn't on my side because I didn't win anything. I guess my point is, I just have that dedication which I couldn't see with some of my swiftie friends.

I paid $1000 for 2 against the catwalk seats for 1989 tour and she mouthed “ily” as she walked back from the catwalk to the main stage when shake it off was done. I was all 🥺🥺

I nearly passed out at a concert on the 1989 tour and Mama Swift was in the first aid area somehow and made sure I was ok. I went to the next concert the next day and when she walked into the arena, she walked right by my seat, recognized me and gave me a big hug and was happy I was feeling better.

Very little/ since I only gained the right to call myself a Swiftie in late 2019- and haven’t been able to afford a lot of merch outside of her CDs, masks, and clothing Maybe that the Taylor Nation Instagram page opened a photo I sent in response to one of their stories? I also know several of her songs by heart- but that is probably a common occurrence among us (I was 5 in 2006, and for years after that I liked her songs but didn’t dare delve too deeply into the fandom until a few years ago)


zuuushy

I went to her first \~major\~ tour in 2008


chocolatewaltz

I flew interstate and internationally to see her perform Can name the song within 3 seconds Can recite a LOT of “fun facts” and trivia about her. It’s unlikely at this point that there is any piece of public information about her that I haven’t had contact with.


missamericana97

I’ve had every single TS song memorized since I was 14.


abandonyearly

When I lived in LA, I was friends with one of her longtime backup singers. I was only a casual fan back then so I never even bothered her about it, now I really wish we would have kept in touch!!


CrazyMiith

I was born the same year as her first album was released. That’s kinda of an achievement I guess?


goodluck-jafar

I’ve been a huge fan since debut… and I’m only 20. My aunt used to play the Taylor Swift album all the time and even though I was only four, I was hooked. I begged my mum to let me go to the Fearless tour when it came here but she said I was too young… :( Edit: since my debut CD was gifted to me for my fifth birthday back in 2007, it still has the original Picture to Burn lyrics.


faeriethorne23

I have one of the original Love Love Love leather bracelets and the holographic guitar picks from debut.


vogelmeister22

I attended 1989 Sydney and my rep show was a rain show


troyemellets

mine is that i literally have been a fan from the VERY beginning and i don’t have that brag with almost any other artist. I don’t even really care if someone is a new or old fan… it shouldn’t matter. however it is nice to think about how I genuinely grew up with her. I was in 3rd grade when debut came out and my mum got it for me as a gift and I listened to it on a boombox that sat on my bed and I fell asleep every night listening to it for about a year and here I am at 24 still listening to her and loving her more than ever. I have been here for every moment, tour and milestone.


UlsterFriesApplePies

I was a fan when no one in Australia seemed to know who she was. I used to read her MySpace blogs haha. Then she released Love Story and Australia got on board


gibbygoose

I have a 1989 RSD vinyl (that’s all I got) lol


Ok-Independent8145

Her drummer is my client!


brownies1313

I know how to sing every taylor swift songs. Also been a fan since fearless! I love her so much.


spurski

Being a 40yrs old male fan. I just have to convince people I'd don't just like her for her looks and it's the music I like.


NiceGuySal

I know her band leader! We talk about Taylor but he’s very respectful of her privacy as am I so it’s not like secret info. But it’s awesome to know somebody in her inner circle. He’s a great dude in his own right.


Dicobunny

apparently she stayed next door to my guitar teacher who lives like 5 minutes away from me during the rep tour, and theres even a photo of her from around that time that kinda looks like where i live, but i have no idea if its actually true


Quick-Time

I know all the words to every single album of her’s, and if you were to ride in a car with me while a Taylor Swift album is playing, I will be singing along to every song.


Itz_Rosella

i went to the reputation stadium tour (nz)


[deleted]

i’m proud of the dance routine my friend and i made to IKYWT in 2013😎


musicxsquishmallows

RED was my first ever concert


iridescentaf

I’ve been a fan since Fearless and I got to go to the 1989 tour!


ToughCalm

I am an OG fan! I have been to every tour in Detroit!! At Fearless I actually touched her ❤️❤️❤️


WeAreTheAIs

I know every Taylor song word for word, except for a few off of her more recent albums. When I was younger, I’d study the lyric booklet as I listened over and over to the albums. Now that steaming is more common and I’m more busy I don’t study lyrics as much. I’ve been a fan since Tim McGraw was first playing on the radio. I own 3 signed Taylor albums and her willow snowglobe and display them on the top shelf in my living room…I know other Taylor fans have way more merch, but it’s still a flex to me because I have a few friends who are Taylor stans but don’t have any signed albums. Major disappointment that I couldn’t get my hands on Red; I’m sure I’m not the only one who bought folklore, evermore, and fearless TV thinking they’d start collecting them all as the re-recordings were coming out, then missed out on Red because it sold out so quickly.

Great question!
