Taylor Swift Is Going To Sell Her Clothing Line In China And Her Fans Are Going Insane
BuzzFeed - Latest 2015-07-21
Summary:
“Come rob me, Taylor,” one fan declares.
Taylor Swift (aka T-Swizzle, aka Tay-Tay, aka Everyone's Imaginary Best Friend) didn't start her official career in China until last year, but it is accelerating at light speed.
It was only last year that Swift threw her first concert in China. But what a concert it was. It broke China's fastest concert sales record by selling 18,000 seats in a minute. (A MINUTE.)
This year, the "1989" world tour will land in Shanghai again for three days from November 10th to 12th.

She clearly was able to tell that her Chinese fans still don't get it enough Taylor in their lives, so she's launching her clothing line on Chinese online retailer JD.com. (It'll be be available after August 8th.)
JD.com, or Jingdong, one of online retail giant Alibaba's main domestic rivals, proudly announced on Sina Weibo Monday night that Taylor Swift's "authentic merchandise" is "tailored for China" and "will be sold exclusively on Jingdong."

"Wtf Meimei* is finally coming to grab my purse!" one user — who calls herself "Miss Qingyan On The Pond Side" — wrote on Sina Weibo, echoing the sentiments of many.
(*Meimei is Taylor Swift's nickname in China. We'll get to that in a second.)
