Swifties for a dayIt was not our usual curator-led museum tour. Taylor Swift was not around but the well-curated exhibition of delightful costumes, props, jewelry and iconic outfits from her very first concert to the collection of her re-recorded songs, concert footages and music videos transformed us into Swifties (as fans identify themselves) for a day. Andie, the curator, entertained us with a fascinating lecture on how the gifted artist uses her “imaginative storytelling” to convey the wide-ranging characters she portrays through her concerts and music videos. Listening to her music or watching her music videos is like penetrating deeply into the soul of a reachable star and sharing the same advocacies with her. Perhaps the strategy was done swiftly to efficiently meet the demands of Asia’s Swifties.
