What’s it like traveling the world, selling out stadiums in foreign countries? Touching the hearts of millions and becoming a global icon?

I have no idea, and neither does 25-year-old House Democratic Caucus policy fellow Taylor Swift. He knows far more about education, labor and tax policy than he does about writing a love story.

The disappointed looks from the maitre d’. The confused fans. Bewildered co-workers. Swift is used to it all by now. It seems everywhere he arrives, people’s faces drop in dismay once they realize he’s not the international megastar, Taylor Alison Swift.

But Swift says he tries to keep a positive attitude about it because he doesn’t want to become like the Michael Bolton character from “Office Space.” In the movie, Bolton endures constant joking, instilling in him a bitterness toward the famous singer. There was nothing wrong with his name until “I was about 12 years old and that no-talent ass-clown became famous and started winning Grammys,” he rants.

Swift first heard of the pop star in seventh grade, after Googling himself. “Oh, that’s kind of interesting,” he thought, seeing news of the country singer’s 2006 self-titled debut. That album would go on to sell almost 6 million copies, and neither Taylor’s life would be the same.
