What we’re doing
We want to put together a collection of deeply personal stories from Swifties around the world. Sharing how they discovered Taylor Swift and what her music has meant to them
It’s about joy, healing, connection and the moments when a song feels like it was written just for you.
The Girlhood Anthology
Friendship bracelets, fearless hearts and found families.
From first listens to lifelong love, we’ll honour the memories, friendships and feelings that come with being a Swiftie. Tender, honest, and inclusive, it’s a celebration of all the ways girlhood lives on.
Your story
I understand that sharing how you found Taylor, or what her music carried you through often means sharing a vulnerable part of yourself. I don’t take that lightly. Every story is handled with care, respect, and deep gratitude for the trust you’re placing in me.
Every story is sacred
These stories aren’t just memories; they’re pieces of lived experience and part of the fabric of who you are. I handle each one thoughtfully, honouring the emotion, meaning, and vulnerability behind it.
Your voice comes first
I won’t change the heart of your story or make it something it isn’t. Any edits are made gently and only to improve clarity or flow, never to alter your meaning. You choose how you’re credited; by name, pseudonym, or anonymously and that choice is always honoured.
Protecting our community
This project exists because I genuinely care about Swiftie stories and the people behind them. This isn’t about taking from a community, it’s about holding space for it, celebrating it, and preserving these moments in a way that feels safe, inclusive, and true.

Your stories
These quotes are small excerpts from much larger stories. Each one is a moment someone chose to share from their Swiftie journey. A feeling, a memory, a line that captures what Taylor’s music has meant to them. They’re not meant to tell the whole story, but to offer a glimpse into the joy, connection, and meaning behind The Girlhood Anthology. Every quote you see here belongs to a real person, and each one is held with care.
