Swiftie Story Wednesday: Really Cool Things Taylor Swift Has Done for Her Fans
By Kara Johnson
It’s not every day your favorite artist invites you to their home or sends you a Christmas package. Do they even bake you cookies? In Taylor Swift’s world, she does.
Swift has always been known for having a special relationship with her fans and nothing has changed. She still continues to go the extra mile for them to make sure they know how much she loves them. Not only does she invite fans to her house, she also uses her social media to interact with them, make them playlists and giving Swift-style advice.
‘I love them,’ she says of her fans, in an exclusive interview with The Telegraph. ‘I have to do everything I can to make their day better while I still can. [Sending presents] is fun for me. If I go a week without sending something, I start to feel sad.” She even goes on to say how her fans make fun of her from time to time.
"‘My fans make fun of me – it’s really cool. They have all these Gifs of me making an idiot of myself or tripping and falling on stage. They bring humour back into it for me.’"
Swift loves her fans and it’s evident every single day. If you don’t know about the really cool things she has done for them, read on:
She Held Secret Sessions For Fans
Before the release of 1989, Swift invited several of her biggest fans over to her houses to eat cookies, hang out with her and listen to the entirety of her new album. Several fans who went have said that her cookies are one-of-a-kind and delicious. We really want to try one.
She Once Had a 13-Hour Meet and Greet
No one and we mean no one does this kind of stuff anymore. We love Swift for taking a day out of her schedule to hang out with fans for hours on end. What a beautiful way to tell your fans how much they mean to you.
She Attended a Fans Bridal Shower
Not many would dream about crashing a stranger’s bridal shower but Swift did. She surprised Gena Gabrielle at her pre-wedding celebration after meeting her at a meet and greet in 2007. They are still close, and Swift even invited her to present the Billboard Woman of the Year award to her. What an incredible person she is.
She Had Fans in Her Music Video for “Shake It Off”
Fans got to dance along side of their favorite singer during her music video for the lead single from 1989. How we wish we were a part of that.
Swiftmas
During Christmas, the star buys presents and sends them off to her fans with a personalized letter. Needless to say, we check our packages every day during Christmas in hopes that one is from Swift.
She Joined Tumblr
For Swift, Tumblr is a way to get closer to her fans and talk with them on a more personal level. She reblogs, replies, and likes posts several times a week. It’s probably one of the coolest things anyone has ever done.
Basically, Swift is the coolest and most genuine artist of our time. If we could add all the things she has done for her fans over the years, this would be a really long list.
