Taylor Swift And Travis Kelce Inspire Cambridge Dictionary’s Word of the Year
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s joint engagement announcement has inspired Cambridge Dictionary to bestow “Word of the Year” honors onto “parasocial.”
“Global coverage of the way in which Taylor Swift announced her engagement to Travis Kelce caused lookups of parasocial to surge as the media dissected fans’ reactions,” the dictionary wrote in its word of the year release. “Posts by fans say, ‘I’m not being parasocial about it,’ and talk about ‘a Swiftie being parasocial for 10 minutes straight.’”
