One caveat that I want to address as a footnote: Taylor Swift’s “fellowship” is accessible only with certain types of privilege and I want to acknowledge that is where my metaphor breaks down. You could argue the same is true in most churches. But to clarify, this piece is more a conversation about why her appeal is so vast, and not how her brand, and particularly her concerts, are certainly exclusionary.
I saw the Eras Tour last year with my mom, and it was one of the greatest experiences of my life! It was so cool to see and hear thousands of people sing along with Taylor Swift.

This is SPECTACULAR. ✨
