There’s every look on Hilary’s face (no one has ever been as excited about anything I’ve done in my life as she is about a song playing at a concert she isn’t even at). There’s every look on her friend’s face (which cycles from concern to surprise to shared joy at an impressive rate). There’s the urgency with which she shares the news, like a Taylor Swift–themed Paul Revere or medieval town crier announcing that the prince is having a ball (or whatever real town criers would have announced). There’s Hilary’s entrance, which is best described as “if the stampede from the 1995 Jumanji were reenacted by one very excited person.” There’s the fact that “Shake It Off” is playing at the reception, meaning she’s interrupting Swift with more Swift. And as proof that Hilary had no qualms about that life choice even upon reflection, she personally uploaded the video to TikTok.Įverything about the moment/video is perfection. Thankfully, because she was at an actual, in-full-swing wedding reception, someone ( thanks, Hilary’s friend Crystal!) happened to be in the middle of filming a video at the moment when Hilary barreled out of the bathroom she was hiding in while attempting to livestream the surprise songs Taylor was playing halfway across the country (Hilary and the wedding reception were in Southern California, and Taylor was performing in Minneapolis at the time) to let everyone know that “Dear John” was being performed live onstage at that very minute.

TAYLOR SWIFT TIK TOK MEGALOVANIA FULL
Well, that and the fact that she is the kind of human who follows her instincts full speed when, for example, she learns that Taylor Swift is playing “Dear John” several states away from her and she needs to react to that information, and if she happens to be at a friend’s wedding reception when that gloriously frantic reaction happens, so be it. That woman is Hilary Stein, and the main thing you need to know about her is that she is ICONIC and deserves so many more TikTok followers than she currently has. If petty little things like life milestones of friends take precedence over vital things like real-time updates and reactions to Taylor Swift’s surprise songs on the Eras Tour, then at least one woman is officially out-Swiftie-ing (<- *feigns confidence about this awkward Grammar Guess*) you.
