Taylor Swift's influence is everywhere. Be it NFL games or the Paris Olympics, events or ceremonies, academics or religion, she has got a finger in every pie. And it is not just music fans who cannot get enough of her. An Olympic legend who has proudly confessed to being a big-time Swiftie has shown his dedication to the songstress in a thank-you note. Her fans keep growing, proportionate to her impressive reach. Thus it is safe to say, that Taylor Swift is a cultural phenomenon, and she is not done yet.

While no other Tinseltown bigwigs except for singers in the opening ceremony, made waves in the Paris Olympics, Taylor Swift is already serving as an inspiration for the contestant.

Yared Nuguse, a devoted Swiftie, as confessed earlier and now an Olympic winner, expressed gratitude to those who helped him achieve his goal. Taking to his Instagram handle, he uploaded a post, acknowledging everyone's contributions. In his miscellaneous mentions, he dropped Taylor Swift as his source of inspiration, thanking her for "the inspiration on the amazing shirts." This gesture came alongside his gratitude to his inner circle consisting of his coach, family, and friends. 

Yared Nuguse secured bronze for the USA in the men's track event, narrowly missing silver with a time of 3:27.80.8. Fellow Team USA representative Cole Hocker won gold with an Olympic-record time of 3:27.65 seconds, pulling off an upset. The post of Nuguse's achievement has been gaining much traction for his hard work and dedication, with a little nod to Taylor Swift.
