What Does "Swiftie" Mean To You? Do You Identify With The Term Swiftie?

I know this is my personal experience and not meant to be a generalization.Before you down vote hear me out!

So, I've been a Taylor Swift since her first single in 2006 and have stuck with her ever since (I'm sure many can relate). But in school I was made fun of and put down for liking Taylor Swift and it wasn't the cool thing to be. Well come 2014 with the release of 1989 and all the kids who made fun of me then loved Taylor and acted like they were #1 fans. They called themselves Swifties yet they were the first to drop during reputation but the loudest with Midnights.

I do not mean to gatekeep. I am so happy people appreciate Taylor and her music - she deserves it! But I cannot stand the bandwagonning and the insane obessive and stalking behaviors where people center their entire personality around her Taylor.

I avoid the term Swiftie...I admire Taylor, respect her, and adore her music which has been the soundtrack to my life. I don't like to be grouped into the mania and the bandwagons...what do you all think? I hope I am not the only one who feels this way.
