The Importance of Taylor Swift’s Relationship With Her Fans
By Kara Johnson
The media may still believe that Taylor Swift is on a hiatus but behind closed doors, she’s spending the best time she’s ever had with her fans.
It’s a rare thing when you see an artist on Taylor Swift’s caliber interact with fans as much as she does. Many, who are on a huge platform tend to shy away and interact every once in a while. But it’s different for Swift and you can sense that when you meet her or see her interact with others. She’s a hidden gem in a cruel industry that loves to take others down. Miss Taylor Alison Swift is a force to be reckoned with but the most humble and down to earth person you will ever come across. You would never guess that celebrity was in her blood if you didn’t know who she was.
How can we gather such high praises for Swift when we’ve never met her ourselves? Because we follow her interactions on Twitter and we listen to the fans. We hear what others say about her and if one is her friend, you will not hear a single bad word come out of their mouth when it comes to the grace and humility of Taylor Swift the person. If you speak with the fans who know her (and we do know her), you can tell that her generosity and sincerity is as real as it can get. The songstress spends hours on social media interacting, lurking, reblogging, liking, and commenting on fans posts and photos. Lately, she’s even been joining fans live streams via Instagram.
Swift has been in constant communication with her fans. Did you know that while she was on hiatus, she still lurked social media to keep up with her fans’ lives? That is the kind of person Swift is. Not to mention, her advice to her fans is wise, proving that Swift isn’t just a talented human being, she is also filled with an incredible amount of wisdom.
When it comes to other artists who interact with their fans, it’s not nearly on the level Swift does. She even has gone out of her way to invite hundreds of fans into her home to listen to unreleased music and eat food and laugh with her. She’s a giver and a person of her word. Swift may not trust the media but that doesn’t mean she can’t trust her fans who have always been there for her, even when she felt like the entire world was against her. Her fans are her family and her security blanket. Her fans are people she can cling to when she needs help. That’s a beautiful relationship that anyone could ever ask for.
"“I’m a fan of fans. You are absolutely wonderful to me. I’ve got your back just like you’ve had mine. ” – Taylor Swift"
Who else do you see sending their fans Christmas presents or trusting them enough to hear an unreleased album a month early? Who else do you see interacting with their fans into the late hours of the night? We can guarantee that you don’t see very many. This showcases the person Swift is and the person her fans have come to love, cherish and adore in every way.
"“Fans are my favorite thing in the world. I’ve never been the type of artist who has that line drawn between their friends and their fans. The line’s always been really blurred for me. I’ll hang out with them after the show. I’ll hang out with them before the show. If I see them in the mall, I’ll stand there and talk to them for 10 minutes. ” – Taylor Swift"
Why is this so important? It’s important because the fans aren’t just those who give Swift money. They are people she can count on and they can count on her. The songstress isn’t just a celebrity or an artist, she’s a friend. Perhaps this is why she is the biggest star in the world. She’s not only the most talented songwriter in the industry, she’s the most down to earth artist you can find.
She’s famous because she connects with the people who love her on a level no other artist has done before. Her relationship with her fans is the most important and she’s made this clear time and time again.

So, before you go and criticize Swift, think before you talk. Think before you say something negative about the person that is anything but whatever it was you were about to say. She’s a giver, a human, a friend, and to some, she’s the world. The relationship between her and the fans is something you can’t break. It’s a bond that is unstoppable. The media will have its fair share of comments about Swift but in the end, it’s not what really matters. What matters is the music and the connection Swift will always carry with those who love her the most. So before you try and stop it, just know you can’t. Just know that the relationship Swift has with her fans is the best relationship she has ever had.
