Casey Fiesler: For the past two months, the Taylor Swift fandom on TikTok has felt like a giant, global line party leading up to Friday’s release of her new album, “Midnights.” - NBCNewsTHINK
Some people might find it strange to build fan theories around a real person in the same way that we do for fictional characters, but I think that as long as the interaction isn’t invasive or disrespectful, people should be allowed to enjoy it. After all, solving puzzles can be just as fun as listening to music or watching a film. Swift’s discography is like an escape room — and it’s largely one she’s constructed.
This experience was encapsulated by the fan culture I participated in around the TV program “Lost.” I avidly awaited each episode on my own when it aired each week. Then one day I wondered if people were talking about it online, so I searched for a fan forum — and suddenly looked at the show in a brand new way. The things people noticed! The intricate theories about time lines and purgatory and polar bears! It made me want to watch the entire show over from the beginning to see what I’d missed.
