As Swifties defend their favorite person from internet trolls, feverishly try to figure out the clues she drops, and attend her concerts in droves, it\u2019s really time to take a moment to celebrate them and their dedication instead of putting them down for it. Sure, they do things other people wouldn\u2019t dream of, but that\u2019s what makes them so uniquely them, and there\u2019s nothing wrong with that. And Swift herself really gave them the perfect quote<\/a> to fight back with: \u201cThe worst kind of person is someone who makes you feel bad, dumb, or stupid for being excited about something.\u201d<\/p>\n Here are 7 things Swifties find fun that pretty much everyone else can\u2019t stand:1. Decoding Easter eggs<\/p>\n Swift\u2019s music is not just some songs she releases every now and then. It goes much deeper than that. She leaves clues about future projects in whatever she\u2019s doing currently.\u00a0<\/p>\n It really all started when Swift included secret messages in the album booklets that came with her CDs. Back in the golden age of CD-buying, Swifties would make note of every letter that was capitalized in the lyrics as they were listed in the album booklet and find a message spelled out. It was often related to the meaning of the song or who it was written about. One of Swift\u2019s most famous lyric messages came from her song \u201cThe Lucky One,\u201d which simply stated<\/a>, \u201cWouldn\u2019t you like to know?\u201d<\/p>\n When Swift recently appeared on now-fianc\u00e9 Travis Kelce\u2019s podcast with his brother, Jason, \u201cNew Heights,\u201d she addressed her Easter egg hints, saying she had \u201cparameters\u201d and would only do things related to her music but never involve her personal life.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd that for me is really fun because they find it fun,\u201d Swift said of her fans, per Cosmopolitan<\/a>. \u201cI love numerology, I love math stuff, I love dates, that stuff I find really fun.\u201d<\/p>\n While the average person may wonder why figuring out just how many palm trees there are in a photo (something Swifties truly believed was an Easter egg once) matters at all, Swifties adore it. Most of the time, they aren\u2019t even right, but they don\u2019t let that deter them. It just adds to the fun.<\/p>\n RELATED: Taylor Swift’s High School Boyfriend Explains The \u2018Invisible String\u2019 Between The Singer & His Now-Wife<\/a><\/p>\n 2. Figuring out who or what songs were written about<\/p>\n Deciphering who Swift wrote a certain song about has admittedly become a bit mainstream as her personal life has increasingly become part of the public eye. Now, everyone wants to know which of her famous exes she wrote a specific song about.\u00a0<\/p>\n Reporting for the Los Angeles Times, Kaitlyn Huamani covered a listening party for \u201cThe Tortured Poets Department,\u201d which was put together by the SoCal Swifties Club (yes, it\u2019s a thing), and made a point of saying fans were attempting to determine which songs on the album were about actor Joe Alwyn and which were about The 1975 frontman Matty Healy.<\/p>\n In many ways, it\u2019s just become tabloid fodder. (For example, is \u201cEverything Has Changed\u201d really about Conor Kennedy or Harry Styles? The public wants to know!) But, for real fans, decoding the songs and understanding their deep meaning is important. It\u2019s become even more so now that Swift has admitted to often penning lyrics about fictional scenarios or having been inspired by pop culture. Swifties don\u2019t just want to know so they can gossip about it; they want to know because they care, and the context is important to them.<\/p>\n RELATED: A Complete Breakdown Of Who Taylor Swift’s Songs Are (Allegedly) About<\/a><\/p>\n 3. Defending Swift from the haters<\/p>\n With fame comes criticism, and Swift is no exception. Of course, there are the usual haters who troll Swift on the internet, making mean comments about her on social media. Swifties quickly handle these people, defending their girl and letting them know what they think of their dishonorable activities.\u00a0<\/p>\n But sometimes it\u2019s gotten serious. Writing for The Things<\/a>, Taylor Hodgkins pointed out the time that Pitchfork gave \u201cfolklore,\u201d Swift\u2019s first surprise pandemic album, a rating of 8.0. This was far too low for Swifties, many of whom felt it was her best work, and they took it up with the website on social media.<\/p>\n Similarly, Huamani cited an incident in which reporter Chris Panella gave Swift\u2019s massive Eras Tour a less-than-glowing review. Some were quick to attack the journalist\u2019s Business Insider article<\/a> in which he suggested Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s Renaissance Tour was more engaging. It got so bad that he wrote a follow-up piece<\/a> in which he claimed Swifties \u201csent me death threats, doxxed my family, and accused me of being a pedophile after I criticized her Eras Tour.\u201d But the Swifties Huamani spoke with said \u201cthat sect of Swifties is not at all representative of the group they know.\u201d<\/p>\n The vast majority of Swifties would never threaten someone\u2019s life or family over a concert review. Instead, they defend their girl from the hate she receives with class, letting people know that their opinions don\u2019t represent the real Taylor. Most people simply have no time for such a thing, but Swifties enjoy going to bat for their favorite singer and serving as her unofficial protection squad.<\/p>\n![\"defending](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/things-swifties-find-fun-everyone-else-cant-stand-defending-swift-from-haters.png\" "\\"defending")
