In many ways it shouldn’t be a shock. After all, it was only February when Anthony Albanese decided the best hit he could deliver on Peter Dutton was to accuse him of liking Nickelback more than Taylor Swift — the same month Scott Morrison ended his chaotic tenure in Parliament by peppering his farewell speech with as many Swift album titles as he could.
This doesn’t even touch the floods of content wrung from Swift’s recent concert tour — in those weeks, there was no topic, from Reserve Bank governor Michele Bullock to the asbestos content of mulch in several schools in NSW, that couldn’t not be bent back, yoga-like, to the topic of Taylor.
