How Taylor Swift made ‘authentic’ America’s word of 2023

Dictionary experts say Anti-Hero song and star’s Instagram video helped to create a ‘pop-culture superpower’
Will Pavia, New York

Taylor Swift’s authenticity has been discussed by Forbes magazine and was noted by lexicographers at Merriam-Webster dictionary
Before she launched a tour expected to be the most profitable in history, packing stadiums, reviving the economies of midwestern cities and causing some municipalities to briefly rename themselves in her honour, the pop star Taylor Swift described some of the anxieties that keep her up at night.

“I struggle a lot with the idea that my life has become unmanageably sized and I struggle with the idea of not feeling like a person,” she said, in an Instagram video describing a new song called Anti-Hero. It was “a real guided tour throughout all of the things I tend to hate about myself,” she said. “I think it’s really honest.”

The sight of America’s leading pop star discussing her insecurities before packed stadiums is now credited with raising up searches for “authentic” and making it the word of 2023, according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary.

Lexicographers said Swift had helped turn the word and its meaning into a “pop-culture superpower”.

They noted that the business magazine Forbes had cited Anti-Hero, in which she discusses disguising her narcissism as altruism, as offering a guide for executives who want to adopt “Swift’s authenticity” and build a workplace inspired by her Eras tour.

Meconium

The earliest stool of a mammalian infant resulting from defecation. Unlike later feces, meconium is composed of materials ingested during the time the infant spends in the uterus: intestinal epithelial cells, lanugo, mucus, amniotic fluid, bile, and water. Meconium, unlike later feces, is viscous and sticky like tar – its color usually being a very dark olive green and it is almost odorless.[1] When diluted in amniotic fluid, it may appear in various shades of green, brown, or yellow. It should be completely passed by the end of the first few days after birth, with the stools progressing toward yellow (digested milk).
