Taylor Swift has landed in Tokyo. The international superstar is, as Tom Waits crooned, “big in Japan.” Ms. Swift is highly aware that Tokyo is densely populated with Swifties — indeed she promises to make the people of Tokyo know about her appreciation. As she says: “I’m off to stare into pastel aquariums and hug all the people.”
Swift seems genuinely happy to be in the city that is among her favorites in the world. And that’s saying something for a singer who has been everywhere and seen everything. But who wouldn’t be happy in the land of eternal cuteness? “Have arrived.” she writes, “in the land of cat cafes and eternal cuteness TOKYO HI.”
