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.
Kayla, I'm so glad you got to experience this too. I agree, it was epic and a core memory I'll keep forever. I feel super lucky to have experienced it with my daughter. I bet your mom feels the same.

This is SPECTACULAR. ✨
(and glad you added the disclaimer - two things true at the same time. 🩷)
