Snakes, the sixth of 12 animal zodiac signs, are considered intelligent, charming and graceful, but can also come across as cold or distant.
People born in a Snake year – the most recent of which began in 1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001 and 2013 according to the Gregorian calendar – are considered strategists and deep thinkers.
They also crave the spotlight, a place where Swift spends a lot of time.
Swift recently wrapped up a hugely successful world tour that reportedly brought in US$2 billion, making it the highest grossing tour of all time. She has also been basking in the media spotlight thanks to her highly publicised romance with American football star Travis Kelce.
