A Break from Hectic Duties
The video was filmed inside what appears to be his workroom. Shelves of books line the background as Tharoor gently grooves to the music. He clearly enjoys a short break from his hectic schedule. The text overlay on the video adds humor to the moment.
"When you have 35,000 unread emails, 5,000 unopened WhatsApp messages and 15 op-eds to write, but the social media girl decides it's content time," reads the overlay. Tharoor's caption, delivered with his signature flair, enhances the charm of the post.
"Somewhere between bilateral meetings at the Speaker's Conference and the tyranny of my inbox, even a parliamentarian can become a Swiftie. Do the Swifties agree?" he wrote. This caption instantly won over fans across various social media platforms.
Social Media Celebrates the Moment
The comments section quickly turned into a celebration. Social media users expressed amusement and admiration. Many gushed over what they called Tharoor's "pookie side". Taylor Swift fans embraced the unexpected crossover with enthusiasm.

A third user quipped, "Only man in the country who can actually listen to her songs without opening a dictionary." Others added remarks like, "Witnessing Tharoor in his Swiftie era wasn't in my 2026 list," and "The coolest politician in the whole wide world."
