“I’m a big music fan and when Taylor released “Blank Space,” the strong lyrics solidified it for me,” Dr. Rolle says. “I really became a Swiftie last year at ACR Convergence because it crossed over into work and I really liked the community aspect. The folklore album and multiple gems from Lover, evermore and Midnights solidified it.”
After Dr. Rolle connected with Dr. Liew, they decided to make friendship bracelets, inspired by Taylor Swift but with a rheumatology theme, that could be traded at the ACR annual conference.
“I really appreciated the collegiality of being a Swiftie in the rheumatology field,” Dr. Rolle says. “I took my mom, who turned 70 this year, with me to the Dublin Eras Night 1 show, and we both thoroughly enjoyed it.
Dr. Rolle says she gravitates toward Swift’s sharp songwriting.”
“There are so many layers and so much depth to the songs she writes,” Dr. Rolle says. “I appreciate her vulnerability, her willingness to be honest about imperfections and her remarkable resilience.”
