• The employee took to TikTok to share a creepy 10-second clip of security footage
• Without audio, the footage of the dancing Swifties looked particularly eerie
• She described the Swiftie spectacle as 'low key the cultiest thing I've ever seen'

A movie theater employee has shared a creepy 10-second clip of security footage capturing Taylor Swift fans dancing hand-in-hand in a circle at the base of the screen during a showing of the pop superstar's Eras tour documentary.


In the greyscale security footage, which did not have audio, a gaggle of viewers can be seen gathering in the aisles of the theater and staring straight ahead as if hypnotized by the film.

Meanwhile, a larger group had already joined hands to form a rotating circle of Swifties at the front of the space.

'What Swifties look like to movie theatre workers. Low key the cultiest thing I've ever seen,' wrote the TikTok user, @calihollywood, in text overlaid on the video

Absolutely. It is a group of people obsessed with a single personality. Exactly like MAGA.

Good thing they haven't tried an insurrection, we'd be screwed.

BTW Religion is just a cult that survives after it's leader is gone.

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!! People danced to a pop singers songs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do Swift fans want to kill the fans of other artists? Do they want to force those other fans to become Swift fans? Do they want to tell those non-Swift fans how they must live their lives? I don't think the maga and Swift follower comparison is very accurate.

 

[Exquisitor]

Swifties, the answer to MAGA?

I'll join, show me where to sign up.

What do I have to act like to be a Swiftie?

 

[Peter]

No more than any other fandom of a popstar.
I don't follow here and wouldn't reconise any of her music but she has a lot of fans the same way many popular musicians do.

This may upset you but She's allowed to have a political opinion just as you or I are.

I wouldn't temp fate like that. I promise I could find an example of some switfie saying all that and more out there on the internet lol.

 

[StillBallin75]

Sure, they're a cult. The difference between them and MAGA is they're not a bunch of white Christian nationalist chodes looking to oppress anyone that doesn't look or **** like them.

Swifties are a cult in the same ways Deadheads are a cult (not a cult). Sure, they are devoted, but I've never heard of either members of these groups willing to issue death threats to those opposing their "leader".

 

[MamboDervish]

It's astounding how cowardly the right-wingnuts have become. Even the slightest perceived threat of a pop star's influence on toppling Trump's run for office once and for all is too much for them to bear. Poor babies! Boo-hoo!

But when right-wingnuts like Kid Rock or Ted Nugent actually play right-wingnut fund raisers, on stage broadcasting RW talking points, they're dead silent. That's OK with them. No problem with endorsements from any of them.

The hypocrisy on the right is palpable, but the ****ing cowardice is absolutely breathtaking. How do they live with themselves? If they actually have functioning mirrors in their homes, I'm genuinely surprised there aren't more suicides among them.

So it appears you are saying when leftist belch out MAGA cult, they really don't mean cult but people who make death threats?

Oh no, it is much much more than that. MAGA is 100% a cult. It meets almost every known sign of a cult. Your own posts on this board show you to be a dedicated member of that cult.

Maybe as much as Beatlemania------or a little less..........

I wonder if her support would remain if she was found liable for rape and had over 90 felony charges.

Nah, not at all. They don't even like her. Trump will have no problem convincing everyone that Taylor Swift is a big 'ole poopyface.

Fight 'em!

 

[Lycanthrope]

Yes, @VySky - Swfties are a cult.

Be afraid. Seal the bunker, read Zerohedge, pray for Dear Leader to deliver you from young American women enjoying a pop star's music. We'll send TP and snacks in oh, say, 9 months or so.
