    • Abstract:
      The article explores the popularity of Taylor Swift, as perceived by the author and their family. Despite acknowledging Swift's authenticity, creativity, and relatability, the author questions the depth of the connection formed through Swift's concerts, likening it to a "church of the circumference." The author reflects on the need for a deeper sense of connection, intimacy, and transcendence, suggesting that while Taylor Swift's shows provide a temporary experience.
