Just like us, Karamo Brown has been listening to "every bit" of Taylor Swift's new Midnight album. The Go-To star and a new talk show host are gushing about the 11-time Grammy winner, telling Bustle: "I'm Swiftie. I don't think she can do any wrong." While Karamo can't pick just one song from "Midnight" as his favorite, he admits he can't escape the catchy melody from "Antihero." "I've listened to it 14 million times on TikTok," he said before finishing the song over the phone. "This is me. Hello. I am the problem, the problem is me."
A familiar line from Swift's YouTube Shorts announcing the album's first single has gone viral on social media, with celebrities even contributing to the trend. "Her vulnerability, her honesty, the way she puts music together... I mean, come on. She's brilliant," Karamo said, even comparing her output to Beyoncé. “These women changed the face of music and I’m honored to have witnessed it firsthand.”
Karamo hopes Swift's contributions will be remembered for generations to come. "She's a genius and I really, really pray that 20 or 30 years from now, when they talk about the greats, she'll be in every conversation - because she's transcendent," he added. Just like the rest of the world, Karamo admitted that he wanted tickets to her 2023 Eras tour to witness her magic live .
