Swiftie identifies 34 Taylor Swift songs in 1 minute to break world record

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."

Let’s just appoint Kelce and Swift our King and Queen, and get it over with.

Back in the good old days of the Kanye incident most Freepers were on her side and trashed Kanye. Time passed and then she came out as a dim leftist. Her popularity has now reached ridiculous heights and this and FR is now pretty much in the anti swift column. I know a couple of her songs but don’t follow her much but she is becoming unavoidable these days. As a typical big entertainment leftist there is nothing really new or ground breaking. Nothing I’ve heard about her lately makes me interested in finding anything more about her although I’m sure we’re gonna get and endless stream of Swift news for the next little while.

It’s pretty rich that the NFL and Kelce take Pfizer’s blood money but the league never mandated the vaxx.

Also, I see Hamlin is bucking for Comeback Player of the Year with barely there time on the playing field...

I don’t know her songs at all, but I switch to Tom Petty (and the Heartbreakers or Mudcrutch) whenever I hear Journey.

Are you sure they were hers? She’s been deep faked recently.

I suppose those who are not fans could be named SLOWIES.

I have no knowledge of even one of her songs.

I have noticed that she is getting a little “long in the tooth” though.

She was a very pretty girl with some talent...no more, no less.

That’s music.....thank you. Of course, you can only sing to it if you recognize each tune.
