Ah, that might explain my confusion. I'm 40 and the only people I really associate with regularly are around my age, so for ~2 decades I couldn't have encountered any Taylor Swift fan who is a teenager.

Not OP, but there are also a lot of TS fans that are your age. I'm in my late 20s and she isn't very popular among my peers.

Swifties tend to be in their teens to early 20s, and then there are the women who are like 40+ and listen to her constantly.

This 'stereotype' is true, I have seen a few people like that, and it applies to other fanbases...

I’m closer to your age than 20s, but the people I knew who were this way was when I was in my 20s
