understands what I love, and serves it up daily: old Taylor Swift interviews, analyses of her latest cryptic Instagram posts, mashups of two or more of Taylor’s perfect songs.
Over the past few months, Red (Taylor’s Version) fan promo has dominated SwiftTok, meaning I’ve watched Swifties rock out to the bridge of Red bonus track “Come Back…Be Here” more times than I can count. SwiftTok — the fan hashtag for the collection of Taylor vids on TikTok — is the 2021 version of a message board or blog, but the easy integration of music makes it a far more natural home for the obsessive Taylor fans among us compared to other Swiftie social media faves of the past, like Tumblr. The video editing capabilities allow for a wider range of expression, meaning it’s TikTok where one can see fans dancing along to her bops, and it also allows them to cue up some of her most heartbreaking bridges to play over devastating texts from men with whom they went on two sort of ok dates.
