Generally plainly everybody residing on Planet Earth is a Swiftie—sure, that’s the time period for a Taylor Swift fan (in any case, what’s to not like, from Clean Area to Anti-Hero). All Swifties can now rejoice on the information that the Museum of Arts and Design in New York has launched a present of Taylor “artifacts” (Taylor Swift: Storyteller, till 4 September) that includes costumes, props and jewelry plus a portray of the singer’s cat, often called Benjamin Button which—don’t blink otherwise you’ll miss it—options within the 2019 video Lover (the lovable moggie, gazing out from the canvas, is depicted by an unknown artist based on Artnet Information). A museum blurb says that different highlights embody the cheerleader and ballerina ensembles from the video for Shake It Off (2014) and the glowing garb from Bejeweled (2022), directed by the pop star herself. The museum present—customary cost of $25—cannily coincides with Swift’s record-breaking world The Eras tour (we hear that Taylor’s administration have been notably impressed with the earlier exhibition on the establishment, notably Queer Maximalism x Machine Dazzle, therefore the short turnaround in organising the Swift smorgasbord).
