Along with a congratulatory message, the ad refers to Swift as the chairman with a sign-off that says “from the desk of the Swifties. P.S. Try and come for her job”, which references a lyric from her song I Can Do It With A Broken Heart.

The billboard ad also has '#ForOurChairman' listed below the list of songs.

Swift was also the only artist to occupy the entire top 10 of Billboard's Hot 100 from her 2022 album Midnights.
