Taylor Swift just announced the upcoming release of the album “The Tortured Poets Department.” Ironically, on March 4th, Ancestry.com found out that Swift is actually a 6th cousin, three times removed, of the renowned American poet Emily Dickinson. They’re both related to the same 17th-century English immigrant, Swift’s 9th great-grandfather and Dickinson’s 6th great-grandfather, who was an early settler of Windsor, Connecticut. Fans have made the connection before, seeing as Swift is known for her poetry-like lyrics, although none of them realized she was actually related to the famous poet all along. In Dickinson’s poem, One Sister have I in our house, she uses the word “forevermore,” and many believe Taylor Swift alluded to Dickinson in her album “Evermore,” which was notably released on Dickinson’s birthday, February 10th. She continues to reference Dickinson in her songs as well. Swift admitted she tries to write with a style similar to Dickinson when she said on stage, “If my lyrics sound like a letter written by Emily Dickinson’s great-grandmother while sewing a lace curtain, that’s me writing in the Quill genre.” This begs the question, is Swift’s poetic talent genetically related to Dickinson, or is it just a coincidence? Nevertheless, it seems that Swift’s creative genius is “forevermore.”
