A group of senior care home residents have recreated some of Taylor Swift's iconic album covers. Bartlett’s Care Home in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, has been using the global superstar's music as a form of therapy as the multi-award-winning musician's back catalogue has the right beats per minute to help people with dementia spark memories of joy and happiness. Care home marketplace Lottie analysed each of Taylor Swift’s songs, finding that they have a pitch-perfect average tempo of 101 beats per minute. At a glitzy photoshoot, several of the residents (now dubbed 'Senior Swifties') became stars for the day. 80-year-old Carol, the home's biggest self-confessed Taylor Swift fan, recreated the cover of the Midnights album whilst 91-one-year-old Elizabeth chose to recreate the cover of the Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) album. Chris Donnelly, Co-Founder at Lottie, said, "The residents at Bartlett’s Care Home are a true example of proving that age is no barrier to celebrating the magic of music.”
