There are a lot of ways to mark the passage of time and the progression of Taylor Swift’s career. (Her hair length for one.) But each year, certain as the sun sets and steady as the tides, Swift delivers a GIF from the audience which becomes an instant classic, a time capsule of compressed frames, animating into perpetuity. These are our hieroglyphics, etched into the cave walls of internet lore; they will tell future civilizations about who and what we were.
2016: Cat Scratch Fever
2015: Ladies Who Brunch
2014: The Win Game
2013: She Writes the Songs
What were the Grammys, the Future will wonder. And who was their Grand Headmistress, Taylor Swift? It was, they’ll determine, an annual celebration of the music of Taylor Swift, where she made fellow musicians sing her own songs to her. She did, after all, know all the words.
