A Taylor Swift lyric has given the internet the meme of the moment – 19 smash hits
Taylor Swift‘s new album, The Tortured Poets Department, has had largely good reviews from the critics and absolutely glowing reviews from the army of Swifties.
It has also received a very particular type of thumbs up from the internet, where a line from ‘Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?’ has become a meme, and a very popular one at that.
It seems to have taken off when @leylanocontext made this Glee reference.

Fittingly, it was a hit. People began alluding to places, jobs, film, TV, music – in fact, anything that could and did make an impact on them as children or younger adults.
We’ve gathered some of the best.
