I thought it was a nice feel good article.

Quote:

It was his 32-year-old occupational therapist who introduced him to Swift’s music during a therapy session. At first, he mainly knew Swift by seeing her on TV broadcasts of Kansas City Chiefs games. But after he heard “Timeless,” Uryasz identified as a Swiftie.

Uryasz bought his occupational therapist, Sarah Zajic, a white pin that says “I ❤ TAYLOR” in August. Soon, everyone at Omaha’s Remington Heights independent and assisted living community - where Uryasz lives - wanted a pin.

Now, the retirement community has its own fan club, led by Uryasz, who decorated his walker with an orange sign that declares his love for the pop star and a colorful license plate that reads “TAYLOR SW1FT.” Residents listen to Swift while playing chair volleyball, wear Swift pins over their hearts and dance to Swift’s “Shake It Off” during physical therapy.

Despite many of them not knowing the names of any of Swift’s songs three months ago, they’re determined to convince Swift, 35, to visit for a round of bingo.

She gets a lot of grief from haters. I don't like all of her tunes but some I like pretty well.

That song 'timeless' the guy likes... I hadn't heard it. I did a search on YouTube, sweet song.

I cannot think of any artist that I like all the songs of. Swift has some nice songs that I will catch my self tapping my foot to.

I just thought it was kind of sweet how an older guy was introduced to music that is so far from his generation and he grew to like it to the point that he got a fan club of 100 people.

Made me smile.

I happened to read something that Lady Gaga all people said. I sometimes like her (Ga-Ga), I think she's a bold spirit, anyway an interviewer once asked her if she had any guilty pleasures. She thought a moment and said "well, there's a Taylor Swift song that when it comes on the radio and I'm driving, I sing along with it a little bit too loud and vociferously. I think people see me in the car and wonder what the hell is going on. I mean it's not like there's anything wrong with Taylor or her songs, it's just not the kind of music that my fans associate me with."

I am sort of a folk singer kind of guy, I used to entertain here and there, believe it or not people actually thought I was sorta good at one time. So I found the song on YouTube and it was the first Taylor Swift song I learned. I kinda like it.
