Me: Taylor Swift is in England turning on some Christmas lights. I don’t think she’s tweeted or mentioned the election. Do you care? Do you want to write this one?

Duana: No. Because I don’t think she’s intelligent enough to make those statements.

Me: OK fine, I’ll write about her and the Christmas lights.

Amazingly, true story, I had a meeting yesterday in which someone (what’s up Sarah F!) actually wondered aloud during a discussion about Taylor Swift, because that’s what we talk about during business meetings now, whether or not Taylor was born on a Christmas tree farm.

If she was not born on a Christmas tree farm, her story should be rewritten so that this becomes her new origin.
