This Is What It’s Like When Taylor Swift Co-Signs Your Song
Kehlani, Alessia Cara, Phoebe Ryan, and more tell The FADER what it’s like being on T-Swift’s Instagram playlist.
While Taylor Swift's coven is now well-known enough to be parodied on SNL, the world's biggest pop star posted an Instagram this week that welcomed a whole new set of friends into her fold. She shared a shot of a notebook page titled, "New Songs That Will Make Your Life More Awesome: (I Promise!)," with a list of songs from mostly upstart pop stars and bands. The FADER reached out to the artists on the playlist to find out what a co-sign from T-Swift means to them.
