Thank you, MAGA World!
You have changed my life
Dear MAGAs (or is it Maganistas? Maganites?)
I am a 67-year-old grandmother. Pop culture and I parted ways when the Beatles broke up. I haven’t worn stylish clothes since I outgrew my bell bottoms.
I often feel outdated and awkward in the presence of young people like my children and their children. I miss most hip (cool? groovy?) jokes. I have never played Mario or Minecraft.
So obviously, I knew nothing about Taylor Swift a few months ago. When all the buzz started out there about her big tour or some movie or something, I didn’t pay attention. Another young pop singer, all sparkly and flashy. Nope, not for me.
When Ms. Swift began to appear on the sports report because she was dating a handsome young football player, I just yawned. This old lady is not into football or pop music. Famous people often date each other. I live in Massachusetts, for goodness sake. The entire state went into mourning when Tom and Gisele broke up.
Alas for me, I was once again well behind the pop culture curve when it came to Taylor Swift. I felt left out. I felt old and irrelevant.
But then you saved me! You, dear paranoid, conspiracy theorist MAGA Munchkins. You have saved me and brought me back into the modern world.
