What it Means to be a SWIFTIE

I've been to a few Taylor Swift themed parties and they are so therapeutic. I know some people say Swifties are like a cult following their leader, but there is so much more to it than that. 

Have you ever heard about female rage? Well, some of Taylor's songs are perfect for when you're angry. When you are with a bunch of Swifties, you can scream your heart out and no one will judge you. They're going to be doing the same thing. You can dance like a maniac and no one would bat an eye. You can let loose and do things that you might not do with other company. 

Then there are the bonds you forge. I met a bunch of girls last month and saw them again a couple days ago. They greeted me with a huge smile and welcomed in with open arms. Being a Swiftie is like being part of a community where you are totally accepted. Taylor's music is a safe space. Her songs talk about things that everyone has been through, from loss and grief to heartbreak and first love. The best part is that Taylor embraces all her fans. In turn, her fans embrace each other. 

I feel like dancing and singing along to her songs purge every negative feeling you have. You feel so relaxed and don't even know where the time went. All your worries dissapear. 

That's what it means to be a Swifite - mental peace and relaxation.
