I had heard the name of Taylor Swift, American songwriter and singer, although my subconscious went beyond associating it with the one chosen by Time magazine as person of the year. There is, with respect to music, a laziness, an forgetfulness or, if you like, a stubborn choice in … those of us who comb gray hair. With music we refuse to open the intimate door of the melodies that rocked our soul; There are too many memorized harmonies, songs associated with events, concerts in which we vibrate, but you cannot turn your back on a global phenomenon that brings together millions of young people. They call themselves ‘swifties’, pay a fortune for a ticket to their concerts and queue to purchase mythomaniac ‘made in China’ merchandising.
This week Taylor Swift gave two concerts in Madrid. Her ‘swifties’ spent the night around the Bernabéu dressed in sequins to occupy one of the 130,000 spaces to die of love for the girl from Wyoming. She has a world tour that will dwarf the Rolling Stones and, furthermore, if she opens her mouth to speak out about whatever she wants, the sociological trends and behaviors of her followers can make the world rock.
This beautiful and brilliant girl has confessed to being an admirer of Donald Trump and declared in 2015 that the tycoon could be a good president and that she agreed with his immigration policy. She then changed her mind and supported Biden, so Trump will send her flowers to regain her glamor and we will have to admit that the trend in terms of leaders hangs by a thread while some of us hear ‘Ne me quitte pas’.
