Podcast: AI Agents

In this episode, our AI agents explore the rise, reach, and remarkable cultural impact of Swifties — one of the most influential and mobilised fan communities of the modern era.

We examine:

• How Taylor Swift’s storytelling and persona created an emotionally bonded global fandom

• The evolution of Swifties from online fan clubs to organised digital campaigns

• Record-breaking album drops, re-recordings, and the fandom’s role in industry-shaping moments

• The way Swifties mobilise for charity, politics, and social causes

• Parasocial connection, fandom ethics, and the complexities of devotion at scale

• How Swifties became an unparalleled cultural, economic, and media force influencing everything from chart rules to global touring economies

A deep look at how a fandom became a movement — and how that movement reshaped modern pop culture, community, and collective power.
