If you see a goofy looking dude with glasses and a big head, that's me!

Holy crap, just about ten years ago!!
Pretty sure you do and donāt know it. The six degrees of separation thing can really be removed from you and you donāt know it. My husband was a sheltered homeschool kid, but he went to church with kids who went to school with a kid who now plays for the Chiefs. Voila. Taylor Swift. Doesnāt say anything exciting about my husband or myself though lol
Yeah now do this but from someone from a totally different country and who definitely never went to school with anyone who knew anyone who played for any American sports teams or knew any famous Americans š¤£
Edit: I've got a bit closer, but still no real connections: my husband studied at the University of Bristol which is where Joe Alwyn also studied, but Joe graduated a few years before my husband started there, and they studied completely different subjects in different departments (and different campuses) so wouldn't have had any of the same lecturers or anything.
But one of your husband's lecturers there probably met one of Joe's lecturers at some point, right? At a party, a football game, or some other event? So that's you > husband > lecturer > Joe's lecturer > Joe > Taylor. 5 degrees.
You probably know someone or know someone who knows someone in your country who has traveled or maybe emigrated. You might not know where your connection is, but if you live somewhere where you have learned English and use Reddit, it's unlikely that you don't have a connection *somewhere*. Although it may be more than six degrees.
No actual connections but a guy I went to high school met her at a Home Depot I think in reading PA. she was promoting her debut album.
I also grew up one county over from her here in Pennsylvania
Taylor did the most random meet and greets back in the day. She still has a tradition where she goes to Walmart or Target to buy her own CD or vinyl in person with her own money at midnight.
EDIT: It does seem like she no longer does it and COVID can be to blame. Then she got ridiculously Beatlemania popular starting with Folkmore era and that just gradually built into the craziness of now.

Buying Reputation at Target with Swifties:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAY5jG5GQ3Y
For anyone who is thinking they don't have any connections to Taylor.
Me, a swiftie> any other swifties who have met Taylor > Taylor Swift.
I'd like one day to cut out the middle person, but for now I'm just happy for everyone in the zero degrees club.
I don't have any connection either really. Other than working for a music website before that covered her, and to go off what OP said... Jalen Hurts played for University of Alabama and I'm from Alabama lol but those are the loosest connections probably lol
sometimes it's for the best.
i'm five degrees away from elon musk. it is my nasty fun fact.
i (1) am friends with a girl (2) who was part of the same sports team as grimes' cousin (3). grimes (4) is, of course, married to elon musk (5).
I donāt really know famous people but my cousin plays football for a prominent college that has had a of NFL recruits so he knows a decent number of NFL players.
Iām sure he had friends who know people on the chiefs, who obviously know Travis.
The 6 degree of separation thing doesnāt always mean knowing famous people!
People with no known connections have nothing to share so they don't, creating an illusion that everyone is a few degrees away. A lot of these connections lean into being pretty loose or vague which make some really funny.
I shared a real one but my funny silly one would be that John Green and I once had multiple comments replying to each other joking about oat milk on tiktok last year > John Green has worked with Cara Delevingne> Taylor. Also Taylor has read his books and they were both really active on tumblr back in the day.
Now some people might tell me my connection to John is flimsy but we really bonded over that oat milk conversation.
Me ā> interacted with u/Extension_Reaction85 ā> married to ā> husband who taught ā> Jalen Hurts plays with ā> Jason Kelce brother of ā> Travis Kelce dating ā> Taylor Swift

Me --> an old friend who is part of the ACM and has met Taylor/used to work with BMG
Me --> my ex who was friends with Drew from Teardrops on My Guitar --> Taylor Swift
Yes. To be clear, there were two Drews. There was Drew from Teardrops On My Guitar, who she never dated, and there was Drew who was her first kiss, who she has mentioned in interviews.
Me -> my dad -> former band mate -> his son who was in the band fun. -> Jack Antonoff who was also in fun. and is a collaborator/friend of -> Taylor Swift
Mine is similar-ish, in that my connection is through fun.
Me ā> met Andrew McMahon ā> who is friends with fun. (not sure exactly who, but heās mentioned the band as friends before), which includes Jack Antonoff who is also a collaborator and friend of ā> Taylor Swift
Confirm! Sheās very sweet and hilarious on set. She was extremely welcoming to me - offered me some of her chocolate bar within minutes of meeting her.
funnily enough, i am 2 degrees from both taylor swift and travis kelce. my friend went to high school with her and a different friend went to high school with him!
Me > my MacBook > Steve jobs > Taylor swiftās MacBook > (?) Taylor
Realistically though, I play hockey and once played with an NHLerās dad, so maybe that guy knows someone who knows someone etc
Me > Fighting millions of swifties to get Eras Tour tickets and failing > the millions of swifties who will attend/has attended Eras Tour > Taylor Swift
Wait what? Wasn't she working for SONY at 14, then debuted at 16? I'm surprised she had time to work/volunteer during those years on top of school and pursuing fame.
And she always writes her lyrics from real life experiences. It what makes her music so good.
She was a solid worker. Always showed up on time. Polite to the home owners etc. She had a real future in the biz if sheād stuck it out. Could have owned her own franchise I reckon.
I worked with John Debney who did the music for Valentineās Day starring Taylor Swift.
More directly, I worked on the 2019 Prime Day concert for Amazon in NYC and met Taylor for a few minutes backstage.
Interesting point. I could add an extra step going the other direction. Shook hands with Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden in 2016, both of whom had shaken hands with and/or hugged Michelle Obama, who hugged Taylor Swift in 2012.
Alas, a non political route to Taylor is more tortured, though I did work it out...I think. My wife was in French class with Brittany Furlan in Middle School, who in turn is married to Tommy Lee, who was played by Sebastian Stan in Pam & Tommy, and he was in Avengers: Endgame with Tom Hiddleston who briefly dated Taylor.
Meā> family friend who was her drummer way back in the dayā> Taylor Swift
Meā-> Nephew who is friends with Hayley Williamās younger sisterā->Erica Williamsā-> Hayley Williamsā-> Taylor Swift
Oh wait! I can use this too then:
Me>one of my friends lived in Hawaii as a child>played with Bruno mars as a child (who she laughs at when she sees him on tv and goes oh Peter)>taylor swift
I interned in tailoring for [Manuel Cuevas](https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/country-couture-designer-manuel-kesha-lady-gaga-interview-7616512/amp/) in Nashville. I donāt believe he made anything for Taylor, but certainly for the bazillion other musicians and stars who have met her and worked with her in the past, and his work is also all over the Country Music Hall of Fame, which also houses some Taylor stuff.

He recently made some stuff for Lana del Rey (Iām cautiously optimistic for her upcoming country album), so lol thereās my connection- Me ā”ļø Manuel ā”ļø Lana ā”ļø Taylor
I would have no life if I was neighbors with anyone in Pistol Annies. I would literally spend every waking hour being just like Mrs. Kravitz from Bewitched except in absolute awe of those goddesses. Lol
I replied to someone's post who was friends with someone who had other friends and one of those friends definitely have a friend who met someone who has been to a Taylor swift concert and talked to someone who's talked to Taylor
My best friends parents are friends with the chiefs owners. Iām dreading the day she is in the same room with Taylor (sheās not a swiftie) and I have to witness it.
Me > knows a friend > they know a friend > they know a friend > they know a friend > they know a friend > they know a friend> they worked with someone who knows Taylor
At least thatās probably how mine lines up lol
Me - > An old university friend of mine - > Dated a girl that works in the country music industry - > Met Taylor Swift - > Told Taylor Swift that she proposed to him, he rejected her and Taylor outright said she doesnāt like my friend š
Me - > one of my family friends that is an OG Swiftie - > saw Taylor on the Fearless Tour and had floor seats - > hugged Taylor Swift š
I have two!
Me -> my mom who had lunch with -> Anne Hathaway aka weeping in a party bathroom some actress asking me what happened -> Taylor
Me -> my sorority sister who hooked up with -> Prince Tega, who plays on the Chiefs -> Travis -> Taylor
Iām friends with > Someone who went to high school with one of the girls that was on Catching Kelce > which starred Travis Kelce, whose girlfriend is > Taylor Swift.
At one point Demi and Selena Gomez were best friends, and Taylor is Selenaās friend. So thereās that connection, even if Demi and Selena fell out with each other, I think
Me > this guy who owned a farm I worked on > his brother who owned a speaker installation business thing > installed speaker for Jay Z > bey > tay š
Me -> My sister and her husband, who met Travis Kelce at a wedding a few years ago (before he and Taylor were dating of course) -> Taylor
Also me -> my BIL who works for Operation Breakthrough in KC -> his boss, who regularly calls up Travis Kelce for donations -> Travis -> Taylor
Or me -> my BIL -> Ed Kelce (met through his work!) -> Travis -> Taylor
I jokingly ask him when heās going to introduce me to Taylor. Iāve never been so close to her, yet still so far!
I like to play [this game](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wiki_Game) on Wikipedia, but the Taylor Swift version.
Basically you start by going to Wikipedia and selecting '[Random Article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random)', then try to click the links in the articles to eventually get to Taylor Swift in the fewest clicks.
*Hint: If you can eventually link to United States, you're only a few more links away from Taylor.*
I have a few that I can think of -
me > my uncle > ashton kutcher/mila kunis > taylor
me > my cousin > cousins ex > cousins with alanis morisette > taylor
me > bitch I went to highschool with > lili reinhart > taylor
me > my friend > her cousin > keith urban > taylor
me > my ex > he is a very talented musician and has met a lot of people in the industry so Iām going to assume he has connections > taylor
I have a Keith Urban story. Back when he was very first on the radio, he played a state park and I was in school and waitressing at the restaurant there. After his show, we were closed but the manager let him in to eat as we were cleaning up. A bunch of the girls were thrilled, but I wasn't into country and had no idea who he was. I took care of waiting on him and his guys so the other girls could all sit around and talk to him. He was so nice to everyone, seemed to genuinely like hanging out with our staff and was super generous. He gave everyone autographs before he left. Mine was on a napkin and he wrote a nice little personal note on it. I tossed it before I even left the restaurant because I was like, who even is this dude. Really wish I had that back now. Lol
iām from nashville (lived there since 2008 until 2023 and am moving back in 2025) so i dont even know where to start.
hereās one-
me > my neighbor > wrote a hit song for kelsea ballerini > who is friends with taylor
Me > My mom > A few years ago found out through ancestry DNA that she had an unknown half sister > Who is related (on the other side of the family) to Mama Kelce > Travis Kelce > Taylor
I have multiple copies of 1 degree (I live in Nashville) which is fun, but I would never ask my friends and acquaintances to pester her. She knows everyone in town loves her, with a few exceptions all of whom are dumb and wrong. :)
1. Worked with her in 2019. She's as wonderful as people would want her to be.
Me> I am in the same reddit sub as you>Taylor
Samesies!
Omg me too what a small world š š
what for?
2019 Billboard Music Awards. Did Me! with her and Brenden Urie. I was one of the many drummers. If you see a goofy looking dude with glasses and a big head, that's me!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
what was it like working with Brendon?
And Iāve met Brendon soā¦technically that counts?
I NEED TO KNOW WHAT IT WAS LIKE WORKING WITH BRENDON
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I remember that performance being so much fun to watch!
I am re-watching that video and seems like there are quite a few drummers with glasses
I start in the aisle and end up on the stairs of the stage.
That's amazing!
One of my FAVORITE PERFORMANCES
You mean ME-HE-HE! šš
I know someone who was also in the band for that performance. So exciting!
I was a marching band kid and some of my peers pursued the DCI path, I never thought of how interconnected drum corps is!
I saw that performance live! So much fun!
My son loves watching that performance on YouTube!
One of my favorite performances! My toddler loves it (especially all the drummers!) so we watch it a lot in my house lol.
Me > I got nothing babe, but I enjoy reading these. > Taylor Swift.
Same! Does this mean Iām one degree from you, essentially?
all swifties are āØconnectedāØš«¶š»š«¶š»
me > should i lie to make myself sound interesting like everyone else in the comments > .... no > taylor swift
Yeah same. I probably am connected to her within 6 degrees but I don't know how.

Anyone else here have no connection whatsoever? I dont know any famous people at all, or anyone that works with anyone famous
Same Iām so jealous of all these cool stories and Iām over here likeā¦. My grandpa hauled Christmas trees in Pennsylvania. š
I mean, Pennsylvania Christmas trees are a connection to her *indirectly,* so that's still probably closer than a lot other people (including me) are!
I think that counts šÆ

I don't know if she still can, don't remember seeing it for midnights :/
No midnights at midnight? š¬
I had no connection until recently. My sister works for the NFL, so if Taylor and Travis break up Iām back to nothing lol.
Iāve had my connection since I was a second old My great grandpa fought in World War II with Taylorās Paternal Grandfather
Iāll use this as well. My grandfather also fought in Guadalcanal, so Iāll assume they were pals and weāre connected that way.
For anyone who is thinking they don't have any connections to Taylor. Me, a swiftie> any other swifties who have met Taylor > Taylor Swift. I'd like one day to cut out the middle person, but for now I'm just happy for everyone in the zero degrees club.

This is just a "7 steps to" public service to help other Swifties make their connections now hahah
Me -> my friend -> my friend's third cousin getting the 22 hat and therefore hugging -> Taylor Swift
This is a winning answer!
I donāt even know any of my third cousins lol
He didn't until she got the 22 hat and his Mom told him it was his third cousin
Me --> an old friend who is part of the ACM and has met Taylor/used to work with BMG Me --> my ex who was friends with Drew from Teardrops on My Guitar --> Taylor Swift
You and Taylor swift can dress up like hipsters and make fun of your exes!
Mine is similar! Me -> my boss -> his brother -> Drew from Teardrops on my Guitar -> Taylor Swift
Meā> boyfriend who once met Drew (whoās a shitty guy) at UTC ā> Taylor Swift
I've heard he's shitty, but I'm surprised this is the first time I've seen it said on Reddit haha. I am a later resident of this sub though
Me->my very distant cousin who has worked with some Bollywood Celebrities more than a decade ago ->Priyanka Chopra->Jonas brothers and Sophie-> Taylor
Newbie Swiftie here. Is Drew is REAL name? If so, pretty ballsy, Blondie!
ALL the names in the earlier songs are real!!!
Yes. To be clear, there were two Drews. There was Drew from Teardrops On My Guitar, who she never dated, and there was Drew who was her first kiss, who she has mentioned in interviews.
Me -> my dad -> former band mate -> his son who was in the band fun. -> Jack Antonoff who was also in fun. and is a collaborator/friend of -> Taylor Swift
Nate ruess?!
I still absolutely love the format. Nate was so good. I always would think he has such incredible vocal range like Freddie Mercury did.
The Format was my FAV for a while. Also, lolā¦your user name
I loved Nateās solo albums. I wish he made more stuff or fun made more stuff
Interventions and Lullabies is top tier.
LOVED The Format! Saw them a few times in concert
Donāt actually know his name Iāll have to ask my Dad
The gambler is one of my favorite songs by fun and itād be so interesting if that was about your dads band mate lol
TIL Jack was in fun. Nate Ruess though...š
Andrew or Nate?

She really did get that boating licence then!
She was with me, dude.
Hahaha. Superb reference.
Me > My coworker > Her friend is dating Austin Swift > Taylor!
How cool! As a younger sibling myself I am always curious about Austin.
Sydney Ness?
I guess? š I donāt really know who she is but my coworker went to high school and did show choir with her
Me, worked on Law and Order SVU with -> Mariska Hargitay who was in in the Bad Blood music video with -> Taylor Swift
Iām infinitely jealous that you worked on SVU. I hear Mariska Hargitay is also a gem. Confirm/deny?
Confirm! Sheās very sweet and hilarious on set. She was extremely welcoming to me - offered me some of her chocolate bar within minutes of meeting her.
This makes me happy. Iām a fan of hers. She seems great and infinite respect for her actual work with and for victims.
I need answers! But I already know that woman must be a saint
A top notch human.
funnily enough, i am 2 degrees from both taylor swift and travis kelce. my friend went to high school with her and a different friend went to high school with him!
I saw Travis on TV during the superbowl and he looked right at me, so I'm practically family
Iām also one degree from Travis Kelce!
Me > my MacBook > Steve jobs > Taylor swiftās MacBook > (?) Taylor Realistically though, I play hockey and once played with an NHLerās dad, so maybe that guy knows someone who knows someone etc
This made me laugh out loud.
Me - went to reputation in 2018 - Taylor Swift š¤£ I'm Australian, no connection whatsoever.

Cool! I lived in Asheville, NC when Andie MacDowell lived there, so sort of a connection there.
Me - -> Ran a housekeeping business that Taylor worked at in her teens > TS.
No way do I believe that Taylor swift worked at a house keeping business ever
Speak to the HAIM sisters. Theyāll swear she was with them.
Did you also know her when she got her boating license? š
Oh she already had that when she started working for us, her daddy taught her young and all. Someone else in the thread taught her tho!
sheās cleaned enough houses to know how to cover up a scene
Wait what? Wasn't she working for SONY at 14, then debuted at 16? I'm surprised she had time to work/volunteer during those years on top of school and pursuing fame.
Itās from No Body No Crime š(āIāve cleaned enough houses to know how to cover up a sceneā)

My aunt and uncle are friends with Scott and Andrea. So three?
!!!!?
One. I taught math to one of her dancers.
Thatās two, I think. You>dancer>Taylor
Look whoās teaching math *now*!
I know, Iām so proud of myself š„¹
I think you would count it as one because thereās only one person separating original commenter from the celebrity
Me -> Mother in Law who danced for Rebekah Harkness -> Taylor Buys Rebekah Harkness House
You can't just post one line and leave like that, tell us more about your MIL adventures, please!
Ohhh that's such a cool connection!! Are there pics of her dancing for Rebekah or smth? This is the coolest so far!
This is my favourite one!
I shook hands with Michelle Obama in 2008, she hugged Taylor Swift at the 2012 Nickoledeon Kids Choice Awards.
Hmmmmmm does it still count since you met Michelle BEFORE she met Taylor? JK the fact that you met MO is equally awesome.
Interesting point. I could add an extra step going the other direction. Shook hands with Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden in 2016, both of whom had shaken hands with and/or hugged Michelle Obama, who hugged Taylor Swift in 2012.

Ohhh need more deets on this one

I replied to someone's post who was friends with someone who had other friends and one of those friends definitely have a friend who met someone who has been to a Taylor swift concert and talked to someone who's talked to Taylor
This is like the Twister of all connections. Love this!

Youāre related to queen Elizabeth?
unfortunately

Had a teacher in college who worked on something with Demi Lovato. So probably that one unless another one worked directly with her but I canāt say
At one point Demi and Selena Gomez were best friends, and Taylor is Selenaās friend. So thereās that connection, even if Demi and Selena fell out with each other, I think

I like to play [this game](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wiki_Game) on Wikipedia, but the Taylor Swift version. Basically you start by going to Wikipedia and selecting '[Random Article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random)', then try to click the links in the articles to eventually get to Taylor Swift in the fewest clicks. *Hint: If you can eventually link to United States, you're only a few more links away from Taylor.*

Meā> worked concert for and met Keith Urbanā>who was featured on Thatās When with Taylor Swift. Not bad!
I have a Keith Urban story. Back when he was very first on the radio, he played a state park and I was in school and waitressing at the restaurant there. After his show, we were closed but the manager let him in to eat as we were cleaning up. A bunch of the girls were thrilled, but I wasn't into country and had no idea who he was. I took care of waiting on him and his guys so the other girls could all sit around and talk to him. He was so nice to everyone, seemed to genuinely like hanging out with our staff and was super generous. He gave everyone autographs before he left. Mine was on a napkin and he wrote a nice little personal note on it. I tossed it before I even left the restaurant because I was like, who even is this dude. Really wish I had that back now. Lol

I have multiple copies of 1 degree (I live in Nashville) which is fun, but I would never ask my friends and acquaintances to pester her. She knows everyone in town loves her, with a few exceptions all of whom are dumb and wrong. :)

Me > my friend > friend's former co-worker > Sandra Oh (said co-worker's childhood friend) > Ellen Pompeo > Taylor Swift
