Rishi Sunak, the ‘Swiftie’

Taylor Swift mania has hit Los Angeles this weekend as the best-selling songstress takes her sold out Eras tour to the Sunny State. It means local residents are on high alert that there is a chance they cross paths with Swift. So spare a thought for the young woman who headed to an early morning Taylor Swift-themed spin class only to see security everywhere.

In a video on TikTok, she explains that she had the ‘biggest heart attack of my life’: ‘my mind immediately goes “holy sh– Taylor Swift is about to be riding in my 7am Soul Cycle class”‘. Alas, it wasn’t to be. Rather than Swift, the ‘VIP’ in question was none other than… Rishi Sunak. ‘Turns out it was the Prime Minister of the UK. Apparently he’s a Swiftie,’ she explains in the video.
