Posting this partly because it’s classic taylor-commie lore and partly because I was an actual stan twitter Swiftie at the time and not only that, I was friends with this girl and had met her irl when she went to prison.

She was an Israeli communist and while she was in prison, she’d write notes that her friend would post to twitter. I don’t remember much of what she said about her time in prison but I do remember that she apparently got laid a lot while in there, so good for her.

Our friend group drifted apart over the years and I’m not in contact with her anymore. The story has gone viral a few times since then and I’ve seen a lot of upvoted comments say that it’s fake and the girl was actually from Michigan or some shit?

I’m here to tell you that no, this girl was real, she was from Israel (I distinctly remember her having to quit a skype call because of a bomb alarm) and she really did go to prison for refusing to join the IDF. I remember her tweeting in hebrew on her main account and repeatedly posting pro-Palestine stuff. This story is 100% real and I can confirm it to you first-hand.

Also fun fact: “LegitTayUpdates” was a bit account. It was not a “real” update account that would post paparazzi shots with real things Taylor did today, it was mainly Swiftie shitposting. The content was not too dissimilar of c/taylorswift, honestly. Maybe that’s why people thought the prison thing was fake? But no, that really did happen, she texted us about it ahead of time as well.
