OMG! I'M A SWIFTIE

Me a Swiftie?
I'm too old.
I just like the Kelce Bros.
OMG! I'm a Swiftie.

I watched The Eras Tour on Disney Plus.
I wanted to know why all the fuss.
OMG! I'm a Swiftie.

I was blown away.
It was visually stunning.
Taylor spends an evening with 90,000 of her besties.
Chatting as though she was alone with each fan.
She is a philanthropist.
She leaves the cities she plays in better. Happier
OMG! I'm a Swiftie.

My favorite era?
Evermore.
It's mystical.
Magical.
Foresty.
Millions of stars.
As Taylor plays a gold piano.
Covered in greenery.
OMG! I'm a Swiftie.

Musician, singer, storyteller.
Her lyrics are compared to great poets of yore.
She gave the commencement speech at NYU.
Taylor Swift and Her World.
That's a class at Harvard too.
OMG! I'm a Swiftie.

You know what really sealed it for me?
The night at Wembley with Travis Kelce
.I Can Do It With a Broken Heart was the song.
Travis asked if it would be alright.
If he was one of her dancers for the night.
OMG! I'm a Swiftie.

Taylor fainted.
Travis caught her.
He carried her in his arms.
("Don't drop the baby. Do not drop the baby." That's what Trav was thinkin')
OMG! I'm a Swiftie.

He laid her on a red couch.
When she awoke.
He dusted her cheeks (his too) with a makeup brush stroke.
OMG! I'm a swiftie.

He looked dapper in his top hat and tails
Dancing, smiling, and having fun.
He's her #1
Taylor blew him a kiss when his time on stage was done.
OMG! I'm a Swiftie.

Their public romance has a private vibe
Like they are the only two people alive.
They are oblivious to the world's prying eyes.
OMG! I'm a Swiftie.

Just a boy who loves a girl.
He makes heart hands at Chiefs games.
She does the archer pose at concerts.
Signals to each other.
OMG! I'm a Swiftie.

Travis and Taylor made this old lady believe.
In fairytales.
In magic.
Just think...
It all started with a friendship bracelet.
OMG! I'm a Swiftie.
