• The internet was ablaze with rumors about Swift dating Matty Healy, the lead singer of the English pop-rock band The 1975.
• As the Pittsburgh leg of the tour approached, I wondered if I were about to dive headfirst into an angry mob of tens of thousands of Swifties.
• On the day of the show, Acrisure Stadium was mobbed with 72,000 people, but the Swifties in attendance were far from angry.

• Research consistently shows that a small minority of people who have social media accounts post the vast majority of content.
• In other words, most of the discussions happening on websites like Reddit and Twitter come from a vocal minority of users – whose posts are then curated and boosted by algorithms.
• But it represents the words of a smaller minority of users within the already small minority of people who post content online.
• In the weeks when Swift was dating Healy, a vocal minority of Swifties came head-to-head with a vocal minority of Healy’s defenders.

• Reality exists outside of our devices, whereas social media algorithms push whatever keeps us tethered to the screen.
• That might be easier said than done: 94% of journalists say they use social media for their jobs.

• As a result, Acrisure has emerged as a true leader in the Fintech space,” said Richie.
