It’s hard to identify the exact moment I transformed from a professional woman, a busy mother in her forties and a child of the nineties, into a full-blown fanatical Swiftie. My teenage daughter was the one to break the news that this had unequivocally happened.
As I sang at the top of my lungs on a drive home from school, with no shame and zero self-awareness, “It’s me, hi, I’m the problem it’s me”, she turned down the volume at the traffic lights, looked over at me intensely and said: “Mum, you know you’re a Swiftie, don’t you?”
“Nooooo,” I replied, “that’s a teenage girl thing. I just like some songs.”
She laughed and declared that anyone can be a Swiftie, “and you are a complete Swiftie”.
She was onto something. My top 10 most listened to songs on Spotify in 2023
