Oct 21, 2022 – minute read
The #TSAntiHeroChallenge is here — are you ready for it?
Global superstar Taylor Swift has joined YouTube Shorts and just unveiled the #TSAntiHeroChallenge. For the first time ever, Swift is inviting her fans around the world to share their anti-heroic traits to the soundtrack of the newly released track, “Anti-Hero,” only on YouTube Shorts.
The #TSAntiHeroChallenge is inspired by one of Swift’s favorite songs ever written, track #3 on her new album. “Anti-Hero” takes fans on a journey inwards with Swift delving deep into her insecurities as an artist and as a person, ultimately sharing how to show up in this world as one’s true and authentic self.
So what exactly is the #TSAntiHeroChallenge?
The #TSAntiHeroChallenge is all about acknowledging and celebrating the traits that make each of us truly unique and showcasing one's true self in a FUN way. An anti-heroic trait could be as simple as always grabbing the last slice of pizza, clapping at the end of movies, always putting your feet on the car dashboard, using the same word to start your daily Wordle, leaving your clean laundry in the basket until the next time you do it, pretending you didn’t already watch the next episode of the series you watch with your pals, or even treating your cat like a human. Anything goes!
How to join in?
It’s easy! First, make sure to watch the brand new music video for “Anti-Hero” and then take a moment to think about your own anti-heroic traits. Once you’re ready, head over to YouTube Shorts to start your own #TSAntiHeroChallenge creation and follow these simple steps:
