What does it take to be crowned Toronto’s Top Swiftie? Start with the kind of encyclopedic knowledge of Taylor Swift‘s back catalogue that makes it possible to string together a 250-word entry composed entirely of snippets of the megastar’s lyrics. (Gel, quill and fountain pen, of course.) It probably doesn’t hurt that Katherine Finlayson — who just won a Star competition looking for Swift’s biggest fan — is a 27-year-old law student accustomed to arguing her case.
