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
"When I opened the carton of Eggs, I was totally Swifted!" "Every time I turn around, I am getting Swifted! Two Emails, one picture stuffed
in the book I was reading, and a "self Swift" as soon as I got in the car, 'cause I was flipping stations and and caught "trouble when you walked in"... ear-wormed myself for the whole day..." " We should hear screeching as soon as Bob and Betty go to bed, I put like a dozen Swiftings in their bed, pillowcases and taped four to the ceiling!"
Not to be confused with Taylor Swifted
