One Star Wars fan, @atotalposer, immediately jumped onto the discussion bandwagon figuring that Taylor Swift might be a Jedi Knight. The fan drew parallels between the Anti-Hero singer’s distinctive braids and the Padawan braids seen in the Star Wars universe. The fan was talking about the Anakin Skywalker hairstyle when he was a Jedi Knight in training.
her braid is a symbol to mark her rank as a jedi padawan meaning she is currently in an apprenticeship and on track to complete the jedi trials and attain the rank of jedi knight https://t.co/HzRJJGTo03

According to the fan, the braid represents Swift’s rank as an apprentice among the Jedi Knights and implies that she has to complete her Jedi trials to become a proper Knight.
Taylor Swift’s Future As A Jedi Knight

The fan theory has compelling evidence to show that Taylor Swift might not be the person we think she is. But the question raises whether she will leave the stage and music life behind to become a Jedi knight… Okay. okay. Just kidding.
With 12 Grammy Awards under her name, Taylor Swift won’t be needing a lightsaber to fight against the darkness. The 33-year-old singer shuts down her enemies through her songs like the time when she released Innocent where she sang about the Kanye West MTV VMA stage incident. Or when she humiliated John Mayer through her song Dear John.
As for Taylor Swift’s connection with the Star Wars universe, she is obviously not a Jedi Knight in training. But will she appear as one in any of the future Star Wars projects? Most probably not.
