***** A Word From KK *****
Part 5/6:
This Anthology project is somewhat of a far cry from the "Happy Taylordays" ("Swiftmas" was already taken) podcast special I did in 2016. I think that was only 16 or so songs, although, to be honest, that was recorded during the 1989 era, which was over half of her albums ago!
But look, Im proud of "SwiftieMania: The Anthology." Its not a professional project, but its mine (🎵ah, ah, ah...🎵), or at least it was. Now its all of yours.
Honestly, compared to all of the events, livestreams, fan projects and whatnot that Swifties have put together, this isn't very much. I mean, seriously. Check out the various Taylor Swift subreddits (that I can’t participate in because Im banned from Reddit) to get a look at some of it. Its absolutely incredible. And you just don't see that level of dedication from a lot of other musical fandoms.
Thats a large part of what draws me even closer to Taylor and the Swifties: they just don't give a fuck. As much shit as they, erm, I mean WE, get from assholes (some even going as far as calling us a "cult"), we keep our heads up and move on. We can do it with a broken heart.
