“Florida Democrats don’t know why Taylor Swift is naming an upcoming song on her new album ‘Florida!!!’ or the reason she chose to hold three concerts in Miami less than a month before the November elections,” Politico reports.

“But their excitement around the news is less about ‘why?’ and more about leveraging Swift’s celebrity status to fill the blank space for beleaguered voters tired of losing to Republicans.

    I’m not a Swiftie

    when Midnights held all ten of the Billboard top 10 slots, and people were talking about it, I decided to listen to it

    music isn’t amazing or anything but her lyrics are

    resonated with me

    a man in my thirties

    still listen to some of the songs on it on occasion

    Are you me?? Like I genuinely could’ve written this drunk and forgot. That’s literally exactly what I did with that album and how I feel about it.

    I listened to it several times for a month even, so much that I got a good chuckle when Spotify informed me in the yearly review that Taylor Swift was my most played artist in 22, which is admittedly easy when all you hear normally is radio stations and playlists with various artists. Still, hilarious to see her on top of my usual metalcore bands.

    Some lyrics still randomly pop into my mind these days and then I have that song stuck in my head for a while. I then sometimes put it on while cooking. It’s fun music to sing loudly and awkwardly to when you are alone, lol.

      Another man in my 30s here, generally listen to stuff like 70s punk, hard rock, classic blues, outlaw country, alternative rock and post punk, prog and folk.

      Haven’t quite reached this point yet, but listened to folklore a few times when it came out and liked it quite a lot. Checked out Midnights for the first time the other day, and… Yeah. It might be happening to me too.
