Taylor Swift now on TikTok
Thirty-one-year-old pop star Taylor Swift finally gave her fans what they wanted by launching an account on the video-sharing social media platform, TikTok, on Monday.
Taylor’s first post featured her telling her fans that the vinyl edition of her forthcoming re-recording of her 2012 album Red is now available for pre-sale ahead of its November 19 release, and that she was looking forward to the fun and games of having a personal TikTok account.
Her post also featured four video clips of her rapping along to British rapper Dave’s song Screwface Capital, in which he name drops Taylor.
The lyrics include: “I made a link with the Russians Six figure discussions, dinners in public My linen all tailored My outstanding payments swift like Taylor And boy I owe ‘dem men a beatin’.”
Within 30 minutes, 25,000 people followed the account with followers increasing every second and the video in less than 30 minutes received more than 50,000 views and 20,000 likes.
Taylor’s re-recorded fourth studio LP — titled Red (Taylor’s Version)’ — will feature 30 songs, including one as-yet untitled 10-minute track that fans are speculating could be a new version of All Too Well.
