LIBERTY TOWNSHIP, Ohio — If you think you’re the greatest swiftie, you might have competition. John Drury – also known as “The Dancing Trucker” on TikTok – says he’s looking forward to showing off some moves at Taylor Swift’s Eras tour stop in Cincinnati.
“I’m a Swiftie, I guess you could call it that,” Drury said.
It’s easy to spot Drury in the crowd, even when there are 55,000 screaming fans.
“I’m 1.90 meters tall and weigh 145 kilograms,” he said.
Drury’s fan base started five or six years ago while working in Nashville.
“I was working on their Reputation Tour concert and I was like, ‘Wow, this is great, what a great show,'” Drury said. “After that I was kind of hooked.”
Being a swiftie, he is famous on TikTok, with more than 7 million likes for his videos and over 500,000 followers. You might see him in person at Paycor Stadium on Friday.
“I got my ticket to Cincinnati first and it was $2,000. That’s a lot of money,” Drury said. “I guess you only live once and this might be the last time I see Taylor Swift live.”
When people see him, Drury understands that they might not think he’d be at a concert like the Eras Tour, but he said he’s a walking contradiction.
“I mean when you look at me I don’t look like I’m a dancer, I love to dance. I don’t look like a Swiftie, I’m a Taylor Swift fan,” Drury said.
Now that he’s only 18 rows away from superstardom, he’s hoping he’ll be lucky enough to snag Swift’s prized fedora, or maybe dance on stage.
