Taylor Swift Wins Over Young Zuckerberg, Becomes the Inspiration for Life

Published 09/19/2024, 3:03 AM EDT

Taylor Swift is already a megastar in the galaxy of music legends, but what truly sets her apart is her magical ability to turn everyday moments into someone else’s dream come true. From the glamorous hills of Hollywood to the political pulse of the nation, a Swiftie is lurking in every corner. And just when academia was busy dissecting the Swift phenomenon with sleepless nights and tired brain cells, a young Zuckerberg answered the call, joining the ever-growing Swiftie fan club.

The 34-year-old’s music has spun the world into a frenzy of Swift obsession, but with Meta’s recent reference, it is official—she is not just a superstar but a cosmic event.

In a galaxy of glittering stars, Taylor Swift shines in a league of her own, and the reasons are as dazzling as her reputation. While some folks might focus on her record-breaking feats, sold-out shows, and billionaire status, the youngest of fans are enchanted by the pop princess herself. On a recent episode of the Acquired podcast, tech tycoon Mark Zuckerberg shared a heartwarming moment when his daughter August revealed her dreams of growing up to be just like Taylor Swift.

When the podcast hosts asked Zuckerberg for advice to give today’s founders, he leaned into the value of originality. Recalling the moment after attending Swift’s concert with his daughter, where she declared she wanted to be like the pop star, Zuckerberg put on his dad's hat and told her, “you can’t.” Sure, it gave his daughter a moment to ponder, but eventually, she decided, “when I grow up, I want people to want to be like August Chan Zuckerberg.”

While that sure sounds like a Swift-sized dream with a personal twist, even the Meta Big Cheese has long been a fan of Swift’s music, having attended her tour last year like a family outing.

Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, the global sensation of 2023 and 2024, is wrapping up this year. Even the big names have been squeezing her epic tour into their schedules, and Mark Zuckerberg was no exception. In July 2023, the Meta CEO, his wife Priscilla Chan, and two of their daughters caught Swift’s show in Santa Clara, California. Zuckerberg was spotted rocking a pink t-shirt sparkling with tiny gems on his face, diving headfirst into the Swift spectacle. 

Captioning his Instagram pics with “Life of a girl dad,” he showcased his full-on Swiftie side. Even though Swift and Zuckerberg usually orbit in different realms—one in music and the other in tech—they are both billionaires who have built their empires from the ground up. So, in his quest to guide his daughter’s ambitions, Zuckerberg might have unintentionally taken a page from the Taylor Swift playbook.
