Taylor Swift's fans are a loyal bunch, always at the beck and call, ready to jump to her defense, be it the hardest criticism against the Grammy winner. Despite the haters trying to bring her down, Swifties stick by their icon, trying to wipe off any dirt on her name. While critics have highlighted the drama within the music industry, it seems like frustrated Swifties have sworn in to shut it down faster than a New York minute. 

Just yesterday, Chart Data shared that Gracie Abrams' 'The Secret of Us' debuted at first sport on the UK albums chart. Reposting this, a Swifite, by the username, @evermelike, reposted this to answer back to the backlash Swift has been facing recently. While all credit for her achievement goes to the star herself, the fan outlined how it was Swift too, who roped in Abrams for the Wembley Eras tour, giving a boost to her new release.

The claims found home in all the latest rumors surrounding the Grammy winner about how she is going over the top to secure her place at No. 1 at any cost. Nonetheless, with the latest developments in the ranks, the ardent Taylor Swift fan is back at the critics, setting the records straight.
