Olivia Levin has run @SwiftiesForEternity since she was 13 years old, sharing updates, fostering community, and bringing Swifties together across the globe. Now, USA Today recognizes her as one of the biggest Taylor Swift social media influencers in the world
Her debut book, The Story of Us: How the Taylor Swift Fandom Changed Our Lives, is a love letter written by a Swiftie to other Swifties and captures the highs and lows their community has experienced over the course of Swift’s rise to superstardom.
Levin sits down with bookTok-er Brady Lockerby (@BradyLockerby) to discuss Swift’s unique and fiercely loyal fan base through their own experiences, which are every bit as reflective of the community as Swift’s songs. Lockerby creates content on her TikTok and Instagram pages for more than 1 million combined followers.
The book — and this event — offer fans a space to reminisce about unforgettable moments in every era, like surviving the Ticketmaster war, trading friendship bracelets with total strangers, and speaking in coded language that only they, and Swift herself, understand.
