Laura Snapes, Guardian - As you can’t have failed to notice, last week it was reported that Taylor Swift and Emily Dickinson are sixth cousins three times removed. Ancestry.com shared the blessed news – in no way, I am simply certain of it, prompted by team Swift as promo for her forthcoming album, The Tortured Poets Department. Call it the Tortured Promo Department – fans who crunched the numbers worked out that Swift probably has 3.3 million sixth cousins thrice removed. She is just as likely related to Ayn Rand, enslavers or any number of unsavory people – as millions of people are – but naturally there’s no Today Show exclusive on any such tenuous links.
