The Debut Era
I've been a Swiftie for as long as I can remember.
Some of my earliest memories are riding in the car with my mom, listening to Taylor Swift on repeat. It was the soundtrack to my life as we moved across the country again and again, always feeling like home somehow followed us.
Her music wasn't just something we liked; it was something we shared and celebrated as a family (my dad is a secret Swiftie). No matter where we lived, Taylor's songs were the constant, like a perfectly timed bridge you didn't know you needed yet.
In 2019, while my dad was stationed in Kansas, we were lucky enough to get tickets to the Reputation tour at Arrowhead Stadium, of all places, which felt like a sign of things to come. It was my first concert ever, and it's still my favorite album. That night didn't just make me a bigger fan; it made Taylor's music part of my story, loud, fearless, and unforgettable.
The folklore & evermore Era
During COVID, Taylor's music became even more important. folklore, evermore, and Lover were constant companions, filled with midnight release parties, lyric breakdowns, and feeling connected during a really isolating time. Those albums felt quieter, deeper, and somehow exactly right for that moment in the world.
I couldn't make it to the U.S. Eras Tour at first (tickets were… a lot 😅), but I did go to the Eras Tour movie, which was a magical experience. Sitting there, singing along in a theater, it felt like proof that being a fan isn't about where you sit; it's about how deeply the music matters to you, even when you're watching from the shadows.
The Eras Era: Madrid
Then my dad surprised my mom and me with Eras Tour tickets in Madrid for Mother's Day.
Somehow, it was cheaper to fly to Spain than to get tickets in the U.S. Traveling overseas together was scary, but it became the most incredible experience of my life, the kind you wish you could relive just one more time.
Standing there together, bracelets stacked and 13 on our hands, felt like everything coming full circle. From car rides, to my first concert, to seeing Taylor on the biggest stage of her career halfway across the world, it felt like we had finally arrived right where we were meant to be.
From Fan to Builder
As Taylor's career kept reaching new milestones, I started tracking her streaming numbers, how close songs were to one billion, how albums kept breaking records, how history was unfolding in real time.
It started as this spreadsheet.
My dad, who works in cybersecurity, saw what I was doing and helped me turn it into a website. Through SwiftieStats, I've learned how databases work, how data tells stories, and how technology doesn't have to be intimidating.
This project is also about representation, especially for girls. I want other girls to see that you can love pop music and build technical things. You can be a fan and a creator.
Taylor has always written about independence, ownership, and becoming who you're meant to be. The Man is my mom's favorite song for a reason.
SwiftieStats exists to celebrate Taylor's milestones and to show what's possible when curiosity meets passion.
Currently, I'm most excited about our Countdown to Debut, a daily celebration of 282 songs leading up to the 20-year anniversary of Taylor Swift's debut album.
