His record made it a world record.
A Taylor Swift fan recently broke the Guinness World Record for the most Taylor Swift songs identified from their lyrics in one minute.
Pakistan’s Bilal Ilyas Jhandir, a self-proclaimed “huge fan” of the pop star, named 34 of his songs, breaking the previous record of 27.
“I have been listening to Taylor Swift since my childhood,” Jhandir, 20, told Guinness World Records.
“I have listened to every one of his songs. I can identify almost any of his songs from the lyrics.”
Bilal had to identify each of Swift’s songs — drawn from her list of 50 best-selling songs — from its opening lyrics, read aloud by a man without any background music.
Although she already knew all the words to her song, the tenacious Swiftie spent 13 weeks preparing for the test, with “extensive listening sessions,” which led to her even reciting it in her sleep.

He told the outlet that it was the “best way on Earth” to show “extraordinary love” for the singer.
Jhandir blasted Swift, who herself earned a Guinness World Record in December after her Eras Tour was announced as the highest-grossing music tour ever.
“The thing I love most about him is the way he writes out-of-this-world songs that always touch my heart,” he told the outlet.
“The authenticity of her songwriting, the emotional depth of her lyrics, and her ability to connect with listeners on a personal level are all things I admire most about Taylor Swift.”
Before he set Swift’s record, beating the previous record holder, British radio host Dan Simpson, who set it in 2019, Jhandir had already broken three other world records, according to his LinkedIn page.
He set his first history in 2021 for the most animals identified from animal sounds in one minute, with 23, and last year he broke the record for the most Justin Bieber songs identified from their lyrics in one minute, with 29, surpassing the previous record . by seven.
He also holds the record for the largest sapling word.

However, Jhandir, a college student earning a bachelor’s degree in computer science, feels this latest achievement is his chart topper.
“This record is my favorite of them all,” Jhandir told the outlet.
“Being called a ‘Certified Swiftie’ or an ‘Officially Amazing Swiftie’ is an incredible feeling.”
