Who says Swifties always have to be young women? The singer moves people around the world and wins them over as more than just fans. The friendship bracelets, which have become a kind of cult thanks to the singer, also testify to this.
When Swift stopped on the Old Continent with her “The Eras” tour, Michael Graber was also there. Michael who? The 43-year-old is a politician in Switzerland, specifically the National Councilor of the SVP party. Dem “Valais messengers” He said that he had attended two of the musician’s concerts last year.
Without going too far: There probably aren’t many politicians, especially not from right-wing populist parties, who appear several times at Swift’s appearances. Graber, on the other hand, describes the singer as “simply brilliant”. What’s more: He has been a loyal fan for 18 years, calls himself a Swiftie, likes the USA and listens to a lot of country.
Taylor Swift and her poetic lyrics
Graber also has a reason for his adoration. The politician praises her powerful lyrics, which for him are “real poems”. He also finds Swift’s perfectionism impressive.
It is at least not surprising that politicians are present at Taylor Swift’s concerts. Even before the US election last year, political scientists, cultural scientists and sociologists confirmed that it had a huge influence on several generations and thus also groups of voters.
