Swifting

A mild form of torture, carried out by a game of hiding pictures of Taylor Swift in odd places to be discovered at a later time by family, roommates or the Orkin man. Such hiding and finding is homage to the ubiquitous nature of Ms Swift on the cover of every magazine, all over memes, as well internet news stories. Hiding places can include, but are not limited (to anything); Under the toilet lid, inside medicine/ kitchen or shop cabinets, inside foodstuff containers, re-rolled in paper towels, tin foil, gift wrapping. Swiftings do take on an electronic form in the embedding of a random picture of Taylor Swift , or a recording of one of her songs, in emails, tweets or Facebook postings. The art of Swifting began in Madison Wisconsin (Willy St area) in 2013, and has now spread through social media ( e.g. 'I Was Swifted' on Facebook) to the states of Massachusetts, Oregon and Washington. Random Swiftings have occurred from Louisiana and California
