Move over, literary geniuses, because Taylor Swift has just discovered her poetic kinship with none other than Emily Dickinson! The 34-year-old pop sensation and the 19th-century wordsmith are distant relatives, and it seems creativity runs deep in the family tree!

An ancestry exploration that probably began with a casual scroll through family history turned into a jaw-dropping revelation: Taylor and Emily are sixth cousins, three times removed. Cue the collective gasps and the “Swift-Dickinson Family Reunion” invitations!

It turns out that their familial connection traces back to a 17th-century English immigrant who decided to spice things up by settling in Windsor, Connecticut. Taylor’s lineage journeyed through Connecticut for six generations before landing in the scenic pastures of northwestern Pennsylvania, where they mixed and mingled with the Swift clan.

There’s more to this saga of serendipity! Taylor, being the witty wordsmith that she is, couldn’t resist dropping hints about her poetic lineage. During her acceptance speech for the Songwriter-Artist of the Decade Award, she quipped about her lyrical style, likening it to “a letter written by Emily Dickinson’s great-grandmother while sewing a lace curtain” – talk about setting the bar high for poetic comparisons!

And let’s not forget the uncanny timing of Taylor’s album announcements. Coincidence? We think not! When Taylor unveiled her album “evermore” on December 10, 2020, eagle-eyed fans couldn’t help but notice that it coincided with Emily’s birthday. If that doesn’t scream poetic inspiration, we don’t know what does! Plus, the connection doesn’t stop there – the last line of one of Emily’s iconic poems, “One Sister Have I in Our House,” whispers the word “forevermore,” sealing the deal on this poetic kinship.
