Have you heard the news?
(No,not that.
In a recent interview withVogue, Taylor Swiftrevealed thatGilmore Girlsis her favorite TV show.
A look at Swiftslyricsfor this song seems to lend credence to the latter revelation.
Nor is there aVogueinterview in which Swift revealsGilmore Girlsto be her favorite show.
Or has at least seen it.
and Is Taylor Swifta fan of Gilmore Girls?
The trouble is Swift has never stated outright whether she is a fan ofGilmore Girlsor not.
As far as this reporter can tell, she has never even publicly acknowledged its existence.
There are, of course, some things we know for sure about Swift.
Could her opinion on the late-aughts classic teen dramedy be one such Easter egg waiting to be discovered?
More Lyrical Overlap
Mine isnt the only Swift song fans have deemed to be aboutGilmore Girls.
The second-most-widely-made connection is between champagne problems and Rorys relationship with newspaper heir Logan.
87,000 favs later, it followed up with guys i was lying.)
Other connections: The Way I Loved You as theRory-Jess-Deanlove triangle.
All You Had to Do Was Stay, asJess showing up at Rorys dormonly to be turned down.
The 1, as Lorelai and Christophers final breakup.
In dorothea, Swift sings, Damn, Dorothea.
They all wanna be ya.
It makes us all so glad to see ya.
Icouldcontinue,butwe should move on to our next piece of evidence.
Additionally, in theMidnightspromo cycle, Swift confessed that Lavender Haze was inspired by hearing thatphrase used onMad Men.
This all confirms that Swift at least knows what television is.
Oh yes,Gilmore Girls.
Knowing that, it may interest you to learn the date on whichGilmore Girlspremiered: October 5, 2000.
Also,Gilmore Girlshas 153 episodes, and the address of Taylor SwiftsTribeca townhouseis 153 Franklin Street.Uh-huh!
Finally, the last episode ofGilmore Girlsaired on May 15, 2007.
That very night, a teenageSwift made her awards-show debutperforming Tim McGraw at the Academy of Country Music Awards.
And you must ask yourself:On purpose?
She called King the greatest songwriter of all time.
The Lauren Graham Meeting
Swift once met Lauren Graham, who played Lorelai.
(Ill pause while you catch your breath.)
Apparently, the two spoke briefly at a birthday party for Grahams fellowParenthoodactress Mae Whitman.
That is obviously a very intentional way to phrase Swifts stated relationship toGilmore Girls.
It isnt that she had seenGilmore Girls.
It isnt that she was a fan ofGilmore Girls.
She instead knew aboutGilmore Girls.
Now, Graham seems like a particularly kind and humble person.
Another responded, I read somewhere that she mentioned watching GG before during a Rep secret session.
