Exclusive:Taylor Swift fan´s will states she wants to be cremated with singer´s CDs to `annoy´ her fiance when she passes away
A Taylor Swift fan who has legally declared she wants to be cremated with the singer’s CDs has said the decision is a “funny jab” at her fiance who insisted she wrote a will before planning the “fun stuff” of their wedding.
Phoebe Hall, 28, an account manager, who lives in Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire got engaged to her fiance, Harry, in April 2024, and he instantly encouraged her to write a will.
So, “out of spite”, she decided to include that she would like to be cremated with Taylor Swift’s CDs – to jokingly make it “slightly awkward for him” when she passes away.
When telling him, Harry “burst out laughing” claiming it “made perfect sense”.
Usually when getting married, a will becomes void, but Phoebe has written into her testament that it will remain the same after she ties the knot – so her Swift request is going nowhere after the pair are wed.
Phoebe has been a Swiftie, a Taylor Swift fan, since she was 12, and thinks her music has helped with her anxiety, especially because of the relatability of Swift’s lyrics – she even has a tattoo of This Is Me Trying, a song from Swift’s 2020 album Folklore.
Phoebe, who listens to the singer every day religiously, also has tickets to see her on the Eras Tour this summer in London and is planning on dressing up in the style of one of Taylor Swift’s albums.
Phoebe told PA Real Life: “At various points in my life, I’ve had some really difficult struggles, and I’ve always found that there’s been a Taylor Swift song that resonates with that and it also helps me get through it.
“Then I was like, ‘That’s it, this is my personality now’.
“I actually have a tattoo from her song This Is Me Trying – after quite a bad bout of mental health problems, I kind of just woke up every day and took it step-by-step, day-by-day, and then it all just came together.”
After Phoebe got engaged in April 2024, her fiance Harry, a “very strategic man”, decided they should both write their wills.
