"Agustina Garcia '27 learned to speak English listening to "Shake It Off." "Never Grow Up" reminds Oswaldo Grajeda '26 of his older sister. Aaditya Bahl '27 said the music video for "Look What You Made Me Do" altered his brain, in a good way. At midnight Oct. 3, these dedicated Taylor Swift fans - or Swifties - will listen to the genre-defying superstar's newest album, "The Life of a Showgirl," with a few hundred fellow fans from across the Cornell community."
"The Cornell Swift Club is hosting an album release party , which starts Oct. 2 at 10 p.m. in Willard Straight Hall Memorial Room, with snacks and refreshments, raffles, trivia and a costume contest. Speakers and a big screen will play Swift's music and videos to a room bedecked in a theme of orange and old-style "Chicago" burlesque. When the album drops, they won't know the words, but they'll sing along anyway."
"When Grajeda, Swift Club president and a government, American studies, history, and performing and media arts major in the College of Arts and Sciences, attended his first album release party - for "Midnights" - as a freshman, he hung back. He'd been a Taylor Swift fan since his sister introduced him to the album "Speak Now" when he was in middle school, but before coming to Cornell, he felt judged by people who deemed his appreciation of Swift as too "feminine.""
Several hundred Cornell students will gather at Willard Straight Hall starting Oct. 2 for an album release party to celebrate Taylor Swift's new record, 'The Life of a Showgirl.' The event will include snacks, raffles, trivia, a costume contest, speakers, and a big screen playing music and videos in an orange, old-style 'Chicago' burlesque theme. Attendees plan to sing along when the album drops, even without knowing the words. The Cornell Chimes will play Swift's music at a 6 p.m. concert. Club leaders cite personal connections to Swift's songs and a communal, electric atmosphere among fans.
