Bilal Ilyas Jhandir from Pakistan bagged a new record for correctly identifying the most Taylor Swift songs from their lyrics within a minute.
A 20-year-old man from Pakistan has secured the title of the world's number one Talyor Swift fan by setting a new Guinness World Record (GWR). Bilal Ilyas Jhandir, who calls himself a "die-hard fan" of the pop sensation, bagged a new record for identifying the most Taylor Swift songs from their lyrics within a minute. He correctly named a total of 34 songs and broke the previous record of 27, set by UK's Dan Simpson in 2019. "I have been listening to Taylor Swift since my childhood. I am a die-hard fan of her," the 20-year-old said, as per GWR.

The challenge involved recognising songs from a random list of Swift's 50 best-selling tracks. Bilal Ilyas wore an eye mask in the submission video so he wouldn't be accused of sneaking a peek. He was tasked with identifying each song from its beginning lyrics, which were read aloud by a human without any accompanying music.
"Here's Bilal Ilyas Jhandir and his super knowledge of Taylor Swift lyrics which allowed him to set his record for most Swift songs identified by their lyrics in one minute," GWR wrote on X while sharing the clip.
