Mexican Supreme Court Justice Arturo Zaldivar seemed to be having the time of his life at the Mexico City leg of the Taylor Swift’s Eras tour. The justice suited up in a custom-fit green jacket complete with his name and the number 13, paying homage to Taylor Swift’s birth date which holds special significance to the singer. On the sleeve of his jacket, Zaldivar sported a rep patch.
A unique aspect of Taylor Swift’s Eras tour is the inclusion of two surprise songs that are not part of the standard 44 song set list. The songs are performed by Swift on guitar and piano. Zaldivar had the pleasure of hearing “I Forgot That You Existed” and “Sweet Nothing” as the surprise songs for the concert he attended. It was the first time that Taylor had performed “I Forgot That You Existed” live.
Like other concert attendees, Zaldivar participated in the trading of friendship bracelets, a candid moment that was shared on TikTok. He further flaunted his impressive friendship bracelet collection on Twitter.
Justice Zaldivar has previously expressed his appreciation for Swift’s music, indicating that he finds her works relatable, sensitive and reflective of the human condition. He also appreciates the rebellious spirit of her music in a world where women are often expected to remain silent.
In showing his admiration for Taylor Swift, Justice Zaldivar is not alone among prominent legal figures. U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland has also identified himself as a fan of the singer.
Anecdotal evidence from the tour and Zaldivar’s own words stand testament to the fact that Taylor Swift’s music transcends borders and high offices. It somehow finds its way into the hearts of music lovers worldwide, from average fans to powerful supreme court justices.
