Jan. 26 (UPI) -- A dedicated Swiftie from Pakistan broke a Guinness World Record by correctly identifying 34 Taylor Swift songs from their lyrics in one minute.
Bilal Ilyas Jhandir, 20, had to listen to the lyrics being read aloud by a man without any accompanying music to identify each song.
The record attempt included Swift's 50 best-selling songs arranged in random order.
He managed to identify 34 songs in one minute, breaking the record of 27 set by Dan Simpson in 2019.
"I have been listening to Taylor Swift since my childhood. I am a die-hard fan of her," Jhandir told Guinness World Records. "I have listened to each and every song of hers. I can identify almost any song of hers from the lyrics."
Jhandir previously set records for the most animals identified from animal sounds in one minute (23)and the most Justin Bieber songs identified from their lyrics in one minute (29), but he said his latest title is the one that gives him the most pride.
Jhandir said his favorite Swift album is the "absolute masterpiece" Folklore.
"The thing I like the most about her is her way of writing out-of-this-world songs that always hit the bottom of my heart," he said. "The authenticity in her songwriting, the emotional depth in her lyrics, and her ability to connect with listeners on a personal level are all the things that I admire most about Taylor Swift."
I would not be paying much attention to the music. Wow, she’s 55. Hurray for plastic surgery.
I saw her out in the woods, once ...
My truck engine died, for no obvious reason. I got out, and there she was.
I said “Hi!”
She said “Skrrreeeeeglbrappfff!!!”
Then she ran away, got into her flying saucer, and off she went.
My truck started up no problem after she left.
I like her voice, I can’t quite identify the region accent though.............
“Hurray for plastic surgery.”
Genes, nutrition, exercise, and fresh air does that, too.
There’s a lot of stuff post 1990 I could do. But it would never wind up on the show. Guarantee there’s no Porcupine Tree or Rival Sons on the show.
To have a life so apparently empty and devoid of substance must really suck.
34 Taylor Swift songs in 1 minute. I’m sure that’s a real resume enhancer.
I do the same for Madonna songs too.
So she’s got even 20 year-old simps in Pakistan following her.
No wonder some claim she’s worth $1 billion.....
Check bet Biden can he gets them on Tic Toc.
LOL - I can identify exactly one. When I was working overseas, one of my colleagues got the bright idea to do P90X every day just before dinner and talked a few of us into joining him. The room we used was adjacent to one where a spin class was held at the same time and that awful “Shake It Off” was one of the songs they played, along with other horrors like “Call Me Maybe.”
Then when I got home, I went to Texans home games and “Shake It Off” was one of the songs the cheerleaders used for their routines on the field during time-outs.
I loathe that stupid song.
I agree with you.
hey I heard Taylor has a new album out, it’s called “ Maybe it’s me”
If I was Kelce, I would have someone less famous, but MUCH hotter!
He's gay, Jim.
I saw her boobs recently. Noice! But yeah, don't know a single song.
It used to be Swifties for Kerry. Now, it’s Swifties for Biden.
**Wow, she’s 55. Hurray for plastic surgery.**
...and probably 10 or more cosmetic products on her face.
