It's okay, everyone: Peter Dinklage from Game of Thrones is a Taylor Swift fan

As a gamer with a heart that beats to the rhythm of the 90s and a mind that can appreciate the brilliance of modern pop culture, I find myself in a peculiar predicament when it comes to Taylor Swift and Peter Dinklage.

It’s hardly a secret that Taylor Swift is currently a major sensation. This pop superstar is filling stadiums left and right, generating economic growth in numerous countries. Her fans are incredibly devoted to the point where expressing admiration for her and her work can win you their affection. However, voicing indifference might require careful navigation.

Peter Dinklage, who portrayed Tyrion Lannister throughout all eight seasons of “Game of Thrones“, has a positive connection with him. As he shared on the latest episode of “Andrew Schulz’s Flagrant with Akaash Singh” podcast, “I can confide in you about Taylor Swift because I’m deeply immersed.” He further expressed that Taylor Swift is highly influential in our culture, and she is omnipresent. In his opinion, she is exceptional.

Instead of discovering Swift personally, Dinklage learned about him through his children, who are 13 and 7 years old. Being part of Generation X, he is eager to share with them the music that was popular during his youth. However, he finds himself asking questions like “But what about Nirvana? What about The Beatles? What about this? What about that?” only to realize, in his words, “Taylor all the way.

“And my son loves Nirvana. I’m like, thank God, and we blast Nirvana in the car when we’re together. And I think it’s like: oh my God, it’s what people were like with like, The Beatles; the old parents were like, ‘what is that stuff’?”

As a gaming enthusiast, I might say: Peter Dinklage seems to have both positive and negative feelings about Taylor Swift’s fame and what it means for him, but there’s no denying that he appreciates her artistry. “She’s truly something,” he added. “Pop music can sometimes be a bit too sweet, but they’ve managed to infuse some real intelligence into it, which is clever. I adore their tunes, I genuinely do, and I find myself humming along to them constantly, you just can’t help but enjoy it.

Consequently, the Swifties have welcomed Dinklage warmly, guaranteeing that he will remain a part of society once they take over the planet.

Meanwhile, Peter Dinklage expresses his thoughts about the debated ending of Game of Thrones, all while advertising his current release, a western titled The Thicket, now showing in cinemas! On the other hand, it seems like you can’t escape hearing updates on Taylor Swift’s activities – just wait on any street corner, and word will likely reach you from someone passing by.

It’s fascinating that Peter Dinklage’s praise for Taylor Swift was returned, in a sense, as she became a devoted fan of Game of Thrones. During the peak of its popularity, she openly acknowledged the series as an influence on several of her songs and even her overall creative process. She stated, “My perspective on storytelling has been influenced by [Thrones] – the skill to foreshadow stories, to carefully weave intricate plotlines.” She then admitted to finding ways to incorporate more subtle hints in her work while still communicating messages to her fans. She aspires to be a tiny fraction of the masterful hint-giver that the creators of Game of Thrones have been.

It’s well-known that Taylor Swift often incorporates hints and allusions into her music, which her followers find irresistible. Could it be that the recent resurgence of Taylor Swift is connected to ‘Game of Thrones’ in some way?
