Recently, a surprising name popped up in a Washingtonian editor’s inbox.
It was none other than America’s biggest pop star,. Even more unexpectedly, the email concerned working conditions for staffers on Capitol Hill. Obviously, we were curious to hear the singer’s thoughts on this, so we decided to call her up. There was a catch, though.
Turns out, this was Taylor J. Swift, the senior policy advisor, which we should have known all too well. But the staffer at was a good sport anyway. Swift—who’s 29, so his name is purely a coincidence—works as an advocate for better pay and more transparency for the congressional workforce. We spoke with him about living in the shadow of the pop megastar and how he’s come to shake it off and embrace his name as the ultimate icebreaker.
It must be funny introducing yourself and then having to leave a comedic pause like it was a punchline. Exactly. No, I’m so used to that now. I always try to give people a little space to either react or make a joke just so we can have a good time with it.Overall, it’s probably been beneficial. There are obviously times when people can take the name not very seriously or go too far with jokes. I was actually bullied quite often in middle and high school, and there was a point where I thought maybe I should change my name.
You couldn’t have known she’d have as lasting of a career she has. But I imagine at a certain point you realized this was going to be with you for a very long time.. There’s a character in that movie named Michael Bolton, and there’s a running joke that, oh my gosh, your name is Michael Bolton just like that singer guy, and the character gets so angry every time. I remember watching that when I was a kid and thinking, oh, man what a life that is. Fast forward, now I’m living that life.
