The American Heart Association endorses Taylor Swift’s “Who’s Afraid of Me?” for cardiopulmonary resuscitation

At the beginning of Taylor Swift’s “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?” the singer writes about how he was brought back from the brink of death. Well, the American Heart Association says the song has the perfect tempo to literally save someone’s life with hands-only CPR.

October 25 American Heart Association shared abouton Instagram that “Who’s afraid of me little old man?” has 120 beats per minute and is within the correct tempo range for hands-only CPR.

In the caption, the organization advised Swifities to learn the song by heart “because it could help you save a life.” (We have a hunch Swift fans might already be singing this song in their sleep.)

Previously organization posted this information in May on Instagramabout a month after the release of the album “The Tortured Poets Department”.

In the caption of this post, the organization wrote: “You should… NOT be afraid to save a life with hands-only CPR.”

The Oct. 25 repost appears to be about Swift’s upcoming New Orleans concerts, which begin Oct. 25.

Songs with a frequency of 100 to 120 beats per minute help the responder maintain the correct tempo while performing CPR. The American Heart Association has deemed many of Swift’s songs suitable for the life-saving procedure.

The organization previously announced that there are six other songs on Swift’s “Tortured Poets Department” album that are also viable candidates for hand-only CPR beat tracking:

  • “I Hate It Here,” 105 bpm.
  • “Clara Bow”, 100 beats per minute.
  • “imgonnagetyouback”, 110 beats per minute
  • “I Can Fix It (No, Really, I Can),” 107 beats per minute.
  • “Alchemy”, 100 beats per minute.
  • “Department of Martyred Poets”, 110 beats per minute.

In 2023 “Man” was added to approved list songs for CPR with hands onlydespite the fact that it was released in 2019.

The American Heart Association also recently noticed that “Please, Please, Please” by Sabrina Carpenterwho opened for Swift during the Latin American leg of the Eras Tour, is also good for hands-only CPR.
