"Swifttok" is UNHINGED 

I swear the same people who told me I was listening to “horse girl music” in 2008 all became Swifties overnight in 2020 and this is how they behave

The shock and awe every time Taylor is seen at a recording studio baffles me. "What is she doing?!?!" Uhh her job? Not sending secret messages to you?

They're burning all the witches even if they aren't one...?

"Taylor'e eyes are green in the Speak Now cover. What else is green? The staue of liberty" Bro wtf 😭

Her: neurodivergent people don’t like 9-5 jobs Me, a neurodivergent with an 8-5 job because I need the predictability, routine, and external motivation: 😮

obviously all of these are crazy but speculating that someone is autistic is CRAZY. i genuinely cannot fathom putting sm care into something like that 😭

tiktok genuinely needs to be studied because it’s doing something to people…

As a gen z Swiftie that did indeed join the fandom in 2020 (was a casual listener before), I would like to distance myself from these people!

She’s a genius marketer, we all know this. But I genuinely think sometimes she lets these people go crazy, figure out patterns for her and then she picks which she likes 😂

As a new fan I think it’s ABSURD that people think debut SUCKS??? Like it’s not her greatest album because it’s her debut but it’s literally amazing for a debut album. Also I personally think the forced accent just makes it more iconic.

I've never been more glad to not be on tiktok lol. The things you suffer through for our entertainment don't go unappreciated Zack!

A part 2 is not a want, it's a NEED, watching Thee Swiftologist lose brain cells over Swifttok is officially my ultimate fun thing to watch

watching swifttoks always makes me feel so sane lmaoo. that "lovers" girl has a whole theory about how mastermind means Taylor already owns her masters and has been lying to us while she waits to reveal it or something 😭

the debut slander makes me SO SAD. i’m a teenage swiftie and i grew up with the country albums as a little kid so i appreciate them a lot, especially debut because she was close to my age now when she wrote it and it gives me lots of songwriting inspiration. none of my swiftie friends like debut either. i get maybe preferring pop or whatever but debut is not a bad album at all.

I just have to say, I LOVE being a Swiftie so much. And it’s thanks to this channel that I keep myself sober-minded and sane about anything TS related. Ty for your service Zach!!!

THANK YOU for addressing the problems with armchair diagnosing!!! As someone who is also neurodivergent and has invisible physical disabilities as well, it is actively harmful to reinforce the idea that you can SEE disabilities. You’re an icon for this 👏

"Taylor loves to do numbers, to shifts physical records" thank you! Everytime I see someone theorizing about a drop of every TV that's left to be released or saying "this really shows that Taylor doesn't care about making money with the re-recordings, she just wants to own her music", I think BABE she's a capitalist and, even if she wasn't, she needs to sell the shit out of these re-recordings for a few reasons: 1. She's an artist in a capitalist world and her label is spending money with the re-recording, the physical copies production, the marketing of each TV, and they wouldn't do that if that didn't give profit. 2. Taylor wants her versions to overcome the older versions, and what does that mean? It means she has to break records, make everyone talk about what a feat she is accomplishing by being the first artist to have her re-recorded versions of albums be as successful as the original ones. And why does she need that? Let me tell you, not because she wants her fans to ONLY listen to Taylor's versions, cause each time you stream a song the artist only get cents from it. Taylor doesn't care if you keep listening to Better Than Revenge (og version) instead of the Taylor's version, that's not where the money and the control of how her music is used is. She's re-recording and trying to make the INDUSTRY understand that they should get the rights to her versions, because otherwise her fans would complain. Movies and TV series buying her versions is where the money comes from. Owning the masters is about deciding by herself who gets the right or not to use her music. THAT'S what the re-recordings is about. She's not going to drop more than one TV at once or drop them without announcing it first,because that would harm her sales and stream numbers, making this re-recordings era not as successful as she wants it to be. And she's not above the capitalist market rules, even if she wanted to be. Yes, the re-recordings era is about money, is about commercial sucess, is about giving her versions more social and market value than the original ones so she can profit and control the use of her songs by herself, as it should be in this case. It's not a moral thing, it's a this is the way the market she's in works and if she didn't know how use it in her carrer's favour, she wouldn't have had such a long career.

"And of course! That means nothing!" Killed me. The Karma conspiracy needs to end before we collectively lose our minds

I'm a part of a team of evaluators that help determine if a child in the school system has autism. The idea that Taylor is autistic is honestly laughable. But this is a part of a trend to be honest. So many parents come to us begging for us to tell them their kids are autistic... and they're not. Not even close. A lot of times they just have generalized anxiety. When we search for what could be causing that anxiety, we typically find out the parent has massive anxiety as well and they're projecting their anxiety onto their child. I feel like that is what I am seeing in these tiktoks. They're self-inserting/projecting themselves onto her.

The speak now Statue of Liberty one WAS a troll but it’s my favorite Swiftie troll ever 😭

"Babe. What do you know about the celebrity world?" has me laughing uncontrollably at 1AM! Thank you for entertaining me today!!

Someone once told me Taylor is autistic because she likes cats... CRICKETS I guess it's there in the DSM 5 that if someone is gifted and likes cats they're autistic.

Girl… if I was a Q Anon recruiter I would go straight to the tiktok swifties

As a Gen Z Swiftie, I can confirm that Swifttok is indeed a toxic gossip (night) train of misinformation. Edit: Zack I LOVE your Avril Lavigne shirt! Thanks for this very special Sunday news report. Your dedication to this channel is very inspiring.

new sub cuz ive never heard anything in the swiftie community that makes more sense than this creator 😭

My ‘theory’ is that Karma IS Reputation and Karma was just the working title. IF TS ever releases a Karma album, I think it will just be bc she knows about the fan buzz.

swifties as a whole were always wild but tiktok seriously let the crazy out of the bag

All the Easter egg math, with the dates and the times and the adding the digits together, hurts my brain so much

Your dead eye stares into the camera when absolute garbage is being discussed are absolutely Oscar worthy 😂 you'd make a great Office cast member!!

Not the rumor that Taylor’s casting spells

Please continue this series for those of us that refuse to rot our brains scrolling endless tiktoks.

the "easter egg" conspiracy theories really are peak unhinged behavior. People think WAY too hard about them. Taylor legit just makes simple references to other songs in music videos, that's it, but people on swift tok are literally doing mental gymnastics thinking taylor's playing 4d chess...It's not that serious LOL

Why do you do this to me Zac? It's 11.20pm over here in Australia and I was about to go to bed but now I see this notification and am going to force my eyelids to stay open to watch lol

"This is another tik tok from gasping for air girly" 😂☠ Begging for a part 2 and even 3 😂

When Taylor may have dated Matty tiktok was unhinged. Social justice warriors and virtue signaling was rampant.

I'm two minutes in and I sincerely hope that it won't just be "gently poking fun"... the people on TikTok are CRAZY. Also thanks for doing this to yourself, serving as always!

There’s a distinct lack of “Gaylor” and “Kaylor” in this. There’s nothing more deranged than the extremes of those conspiracies. Or are that the demons that aren’t to summoned?

“Doing obviously autistic things and adhd things” seennnnnnt me.

Literally seeing these "Taylor Swift is Autistic" are so BIZARRE like um sis WHAT? Its unhinged and messed up...

Why do they think Taylor LIVES to leave “easter eggs”. Maybe she just wore orange because she, i don’t know, felt like it?

Thank you Zach for this video. It’s so incredibly validating. I love being on swifttok but so many of the videos I see are truly delusional and not in the cute way 💀

"Consumerism (Taylor's Version)" had me ROLLING

I've been waiting for this content from the swiftologist for decades.

"go to the water park. go to the gas station. get a root canal." HELP 💀

I'm in my bed with a fever and this made my day. I NEED a part two because I was kiking my ass of

This was so so funny!! Please do a part two lmao

i don’t hate the, ‘all of folklore is about the love triangle’ theories imo as long as they’re more interpretation than theory, you know? folklore and evermore are kind of vague enough that you’re meant to connect the songs to your own life and your own stories and ones you make up so everyone’s allowed to interpret it differently which is lovely! the timelines people make for their interpretations are so cool to consider. but again. it’s not fact or anything

As someone who is autistic, I do see a lot of similarities between Taylor and myself. I wouldn’t go so far as to say she’s autistic, but I would say I find comfort in seeing someone so successful have qualities that remind me of myself. Which I feel like most people can say about anyone regardless of if they’re neurodivergent. So I do agree that it’s odd to place diagnoses on people … you can appreciate similarities without trying to diagnose …

i’ve had so many arguments with people who think taylor will double drop/surprise drop the taylor’s version. and their argument is always “she’s had so much success with the re-recording she doesn’t care about the money or how the rest will perform in the charts”…. uhhh when has she ever not cared about a number one debut, sales or breaking records???

I have the most extreme mix of rage and pity for the autism theory person lol- it’s so obviously coming from a place of lack of self worth/feeling unsupported…. But like, tell me this exact person would not instantly lose it if you told them they “looked autistic” 🥴 Thanks for calling out how dangerous this one specifically is

The autism theory girl..Honestly some people do not deserve the right to open their mouths

“You’re just doing a sudoku game at this point” SENT ME

I think that between 1989 and Reputation there will be a new album that she has been recording (that's why she has been going to the studio). PPL, PLEASE, all the re-recordings have been already recorded. And I think it's going to be this pattern: Fearless TV, Red TV, New Album (Midnights), Speak Now TV, 1989 TV, New Album (don't have a name yet, but it's a new Era), Reputation TV and Taylor Swift TV followed by the end of The Eras Tour and a hiatus because like after 1989 she will be over exposed. Afterwards, after 2-3 years she will comeback with new music and a smaller tour.

Haha you were cracking me up. I’m so glad I’m not on tik tok. These people think Taylor is a mathematician. This is so crazy and out of control. Love your videos!

I fully engage in all of the theories and love them 🤣 but I also love hearing how ridiculous they are from your point of view. I never get tired of watching the swiftologist 😍Please, we need a part two😅

It’s always the southern people that have the craziest theories and I’m saying that as a born and raised Georgia girly

Damn the autism girl... seriously incoherent projection! I can't imagine a autistic person living the intense life Taylor does.... My sister is autistic and needs to isolate a lot, she's sensitive to noise, smells, fabrics... And everyone I know who is also high functioning still wouldn't be able to handle the amount of people and stage life Taylor has, that's super demanding.

the only thing I hate about this fandom are the delusional theories don't have any sense

pleeease do another video tearing apart and debunking *that* group of delusionals 🙏 every time I encounter their content I feel like I'm losing a billion braincells, and the confidence with which they spread their theories, I swear it makes me question reality. I need them debunked in a factual way because they legit act like they have evidence on their side

I'm late, but swifties ruin the eras tour experience by thinking everything is a "easter egg" and that she's a "mastermind". The TTPD came out recently and people are already like "REP OMG REP TV Tonight"

Congrats on 40k, Zach! You totally deserve it for putting yourself through this for us.

Thank you for soldiering through tik tok for this video you may be our final sane swiftie 😭

I’d hate to put you through a part two but… this was the best thing I’ve ever seen

The statue of liberty tiktok was a joke😭😭thats so hilarious💀💀

25:05 you know when the pastor starts screaming and shouting at the podium…….

FINALLY found a Swift content creator I relate to 😂 Thank god, I’ve felt like I was left out because I find most of this stuff ridiculous and hilarious. This was great! Subscribed.

The “theories” are just saying everything and anything and then being able to say one was right out of 1000000

I watch your channel pretty religiously (I'm a Patreon, too!) but I couldn't make it through this one. It affirmed my choice around downloading TikTok ... never have, never will! Can't wait for more Scooter Braun content, I continue to be amazed at your spidey senses around stuff like that. Swiftologist is tuned in on another level!

Thank you for this reality check babes I needed this call out 😢😂❤

also love listening to you speak so much, it's not every day that you see someone so witty and smart at the forefront of so big a fandom. eloquent and straight to the point, keep up the good work (would love pt2 to this just for shits and giggles pretty please)

Since I am off TikTok, the swiftologist is the only way I want this content shared 🙃♥️

Part Two please! Thank you for making light of the insanity that is Swifttok.

U truly cannot comprehend people deciding Taylor swift is autistic and then “finding evidence” to prove it….literally so rude and invasive to a point I can’t even comprehend. Whether she is or isn’t it’s NONE of our business genuinely wtf is wrong with people

I am a younger swiftie, 14 and joined the fandom during the Fearless TV era. I absoutely looooove debut. Its one of favs and the younger fans or more recent fans that hate debut give us such a bad rap. And maybe I love debut so much more cause I'm at the age she wrote some of the songs but whatever the case it's such an amazing album.

The woman at 14:00 should never take any sort of psychology course, again, at any point, ever. Edit: Betty was a nickname for Rebecca but fell out of popularity in the 1970's when Becky replaced Betty, and, the footballer clip commentary is 👍

i need a part 2 right now.. And the swifties with the numbers make me feral.

do more of these i begg. i was laughing my ass off for all 30 mins! I never have more fun than watching you blank stare at a crazy person on the internet lol

I got physically MAD when the video about Debut being bad showed. This people should NOT be in the fandom and should NOT have access to tickets, ohmygod!

I need to defend the 112 day theory a little for the following reason: There were 112 days between Evermore and the original Fearless TV release date. 224 days (so 112 x 2) between Fearless TV and Red TV. And 336 (so 112 x 3) days between Red TV and Midnights. There are 112 days between the beginning of the Eras tour (17th of March) and the release of Speak Now TV (July 7th), and there are 112 days between that release and the 1989 release (October 27th). According to that theory Rep TV will be out February 16th and Debut June 7th (and 6+7 even equals 13, Taylor's lucky number). I don't believe most theories, but this one seems pretty legit to me 😊 Taylor has also mentioned the numbers 2 and 6 (February and June) quite a few times as of late, further supporting that theory.

Zack, I can’t with you! You are my absolute favorite! 🤣😂😂 “people need to go outside”… 😂😂😂 I couldn’t agree more. “I’m scared”… “I’m not doing this”… this is literally me watching my reels… 🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂

i spent the entire video split between laughing and crying

As an actually autistic person, I really hate these "Taylor swift/any other celebrity is autistic" videos. First off, I don't think it's appropriate to speculate about things like that, especially if you don't know them personally. Secondly, i feel like these people don't take autism seriously and use it as a quirky personality trait, when it's a disability I struggle with every day. While autism doesn't have a look and presents different in everyone, I'm very sure Taylor is not autistic. Lastly, their "reasons" why Taylor must be autistic are always ridiculous. "She loves cats, therefore she has an autistic special interest" (because apparently non-autistic people don't have interests) or "She acted awkwardly in this interview" (as if you can't be awkward or weird without being autistic). I also disagree with the "most celebrities are autistic because we dont like working in traditional jobs" thing, while I agree a lot of us don't like traditional jobs, Id say its even harder for an autistic person to be a celebrity than for a non-autistic person. I personally could never, it seems way too much work, too overstimulating, too much interactions with fans and other people in the industry, etc.

I’m autistic and really don’t like when people speculate on whether or not a celebrity is autistic. It’s not bad if she is, but it’s harmful to armchair diagnose someone you don’t know just based off of video clips and your idea of what autism or adhd is. If I saw her biting her lip and I also do that as a stim but that doesn’t mean Taylor is autistic and stimming.

I cannot tell you how much you restore my faith in sanity! Everything you covered is exactly why I block everything TS related on social media despite liking her music! Thank you for being a glowing little light of sanity ❤

She could twitch and someone is analyzing it. She already doesn’t feel like she’s treated by a human, but these days every single breath is watched and analyzed. It’s absolutely ridiculous, I genuinely feel bad for her that so many fans are like this

as a pretty new, teenage swiftie, i think that some people are really crazy. like, what the hell you mean you think debut is awful? i mean, if u don't like it it's ur choice, but objectively it's not a bad album and it has a lot of awesome songs

I'm a "new" fan because I'm a teen and I've only been listening for a few years, but the first album I listened to was Fearless so I'd like to exclude myself from the TikTok weirdos

I love this channel where we’re actually SANE here, god I hate how taylor has become trendy lol because people and swifttok and everything is just nuts I feel like I’m losing my mind

See every once in a while I’ll see something in a post or something and I’ll be like “that’s cool, I wonder if it’s gonna mean something later” but I’m not about to stare at everything Taylor does and be like “she moved her foot in this direction while performing this song so this is gonna happen on this day” Taylor started the Easter eggs for fun not insanity.

It’s always the jobless middle aged moms who come up with these crazy theories.. like get a life 😭

If my boyfriend ever calls me crazy again for listening to TS for the fifth time that day, I will send him this video.

Honestly, I wanna shake my head and roll my eyes when I see these tik toks but I can’t claim the moral high ground when my 2011 vampire diaries Twitter account is on entirely the same level of unhinged 😂 This was super entertaining, PLEASE do a part 2

“Go outside, go to the gas station, go get a root canal” 😂

Taylor being autistic is my least favorite fan “theory”. It irks me so much

Zach I've had a rough weekend where I had to work most of it and I desperately needed a laugh so thank you for your service!

Are you going to do a video breaking down the vault tracks of 1989 tv? I would love to see it!

late to the party, but i am living for you REFUSING to finish seriously unhinged tik toks

I couldn’t tolerate the nonsense but loved ur unhinged reaction. Sorry to put u through hell but can I have a part 2?

this is hurting my brain. i bet all these tiktok ppl are ME! stans

I do like the 112 days theory, all though that person took it a little to far. That would get us all the re-records released during the tour, but keep them spaced out. And then she can announce TS11 at the end of the tour 😂🤡 I don’t really believe any theories anymore. I will believe it when it happens 😂
