1. She Started Writing Songs at Age 12
Can you believe Taylor started writing songs when she was just 12 years old?! She was so young, but she had this huge passion for music, and she was already coming up with lyrics at such an early age. Her first song was called “Lucky You,” and it was about a boy who didn’t know she had a crush on him. HOW CUTE IS THAT?!
2. She’s a Huge Cat Lover!
If you’re a Swiftie, you definitely know about Olivia Benson and Meredith Grey, Taylor's two adorable cats. They’re basically celebrities in their own right. Olivia is a Scottish Fold (with the cutest little ears), and Meredith is a Scottish Fold too! Taylor posts tons of pics of her cats on social media, and they’re SO cute—honestly, I think they should have their own Instagram.
3. She Has a Secret Handshake with Her Besties
Taylor is totally goals when it comes to her friendships. She has a secret handshake with her besties like Selena Gomez and Gigi Hadid—how fun is that?! I mean, how do you even come up with a secret handshake? It’s like they have their own little secret code, and I think it’s adorable.
4. She Loves Easter Eggs in Her Music
Taylor is famous for putting hidden messages and “Easter eggs” in her songs, album artwork, and music videos. A lot of her fans like to hunt for these clues to find out about her life or future projects. For example, in her music video for “Look What You Made Me Do,” she had her old music video set behind her as a nod to her previous eras. So cool! Every time Taylor releases a new song or video, I literally have to go into detective mode to find all the Easter eggs. 🔍
5. She Has a Fear of Snakes
Even though Taylor has faced a lot of drama (like that whole snake controversy), she actually has a fear of snakes! Which makes it so funny because people used snakes against her in the media, but she literally gets scared of them in real life. This just shows how strong she is—turning something she’s afraid of into something she can own and embrace! You go, Taylor!
6. She Was the First Woman to Win the "Album of the Year" Grammy Twice!
Taylor made history by being the first woman ever to win the “Album of the Year” Grammy twice! She won for Fearless in 2010 and 1989 in 2016. And guess what?

She’s basically a legend, and it makes me so proud to be a Swiftie.
