Alleged assassin Luigi Mangione says he had been listening to Taylor Swift and Charli XCX behind bars—till a fellow inmate scolded him for it.
“Final week, I downloaded a bunch of Taylor Swift and Charli XCX onto my pill. I’ve by no means actually listened to both of them, however some phony listing of my favourite music circulated on social media, [REDACTED],” Mangione wrote in a letter from the Metropolitan Detention Middle in Brooklyn. “Quite than being a buzzkill and set the report straight, I figured I’d see what all of the hype was about.”
“So I’m strolling laps on the highest tier of my unit listening to ‘Cardigan’ by Taylor Swift when one of many different inmates, ‘King,’ calls me over to see what I’m listening to. He scolds me for some time, then replaces all my music. Now I hearken to ‘Lil Durk.’”
