The Guardian has started a special weekly newsletter dedicated to Taylor Swift. From her concerts to upcoming songs, to where Taylor Swift has been during the week, the publication will cover it all in their newsletter, Swift Notes. The tabloid informed how they would be using drones to get her images and give first-hand information about the singer.

The Swift Notes will navigate and explore the world of the singer including her two albums which are scheduled to release in April, along with her Eras tour in Europe in May 2024. The publication mentioned:

“Her influence is so vast that writing about her sometimes feels less like documenting a singular pop career than it does reporting on the affairs of a small nation. Given this wild multiplicity of narratives, Swift Notes will tease out the stories that Swift crafts so carefully – in her songs and her self-mythologising – and those that are told about her.”

The Swift Notes will also have weekly essays, and Q&As along with other fun activities for the Swifties. However, as soon as the news about this new addition to the tabloid made rounds on social media, it received a lot of criticism from the masses, as many found it “weird.”


“What's next, a daily horoscope based on her songs?”: Social media users reacted to The Guardian’s weekly newsletter on Taylor Swift

As Taylor Swift became popular day by day, The Guardian used this opportunity to keep the fans updated about the singer and her activities. The publication claimed that while many are often criticized for being a dedicated Swift reporter, due to her presence in the “entertainment, and culture media,” everyone has now become a “de facto Taylor Swift reporter."
