A parody Twitter account has taken the Internet by storm after turning Taylor Swift's catchy lyrics into feminist messages.
According to the Washington Post, the account was started by Brown University senior Clara Beyer who is a self-proclaimed feminist and die-hard Taylor Swift fan, which she admitted in an interview with Buzzfeed is not always easy.
"I consider myself a feminist, and I blog about that kind of thing all the time, but I also LOVE Taylor Swift," she told Buzzfeed. "Being a feminist Taylor Swift fan isn't always easy, but it let to @FeministTSwift, so I'm not really complaining."
She said the idea for it started for after she tweeted "Idea for a single purpose twitter: feminist Taylor Swift." She said immediately after posting the message she got a phone call from a friend begging her to create the page. She then started the account @FeministTSwift which quickly gained popularity and now has over 75,000 followers. The bio for the Twitter page takes after Swift's actual bio and reads: "Happy. Free. Confused. Oppressed by the patriarchy. At the same time."
She said she believes the account gained popularity so fast because "people know Taylor Swift lyrics. Even if they don't want to, they know them." Her idea was to get more people talking about feminism and thought the easiest way to get people to do that would be to incorporate it "with things they're already into in their daily lives."
Beyer told the newspaper that she chose Swift and not someone else like Beyoncé or Draft Punk was because she felt like it would get the message that there a quite a few people who love Swift but "have a feeling of discomfort" with her lyrics. The pop singer is known for her lyrics either involving ex-boyfriend bashing or falling hopelessly in love.
"A lot of the songs are either 'I used to have a boy and I was happy, and now I don't and now I'm sad' or if I had this boy, I would be happy."
According to Beyer some of the singer's worst offenders are "Better Than Revenge," in which Swift bashed her ex-boyfriend's new girlfriend for her promiscuous behavior; "You Belong With Me," in which Swift mocks her crush's girlfriend for her popularity and wardrobe choices; and "Fifteen," is which she describes how her best friend Abigail gave up "everything" for a boy.
Told Buzzfeed she hopes they get so many followers that Swift tweets at them.
When Swift was asked whether she was a feminist by the Daily Beast she said she would rather not think about things "as guys versus girls."
Beyer however thinks that is a feminist approach.
"I think not seeing things as boys versus girls is feminist," she told the Washington Post. "There was definitely a time when I wouldn't have considered myself a feminist. But I've totally changed my mind on that. I'll identify as a feminist any day."
