How do I block Taylor Swift news from invading my Facebook timeline?

The short answer is that you can't block Taylor Swift from invading your Facebook line.
Over the years, Facebook has tested features that allow users to mute certain words from appearing on a user's timeline Feed.
In the old days, being able to unfollow or snooze certain pages was enough to avoid being overrun by news about a particular celebrity or a topic that was not interesting to you.
This trick no longer suffices as every mainstream media outlet in the US covers aspects of Taylor Swift's personal or business life.
When it comes to highly publicized events and celebrities, the phenomenon of Taylor Swift is a great example of something you almost can't avoid if you are living in the US. The highly-publicized millennial pop star had a hugely successful tour that grossed over $1 billion and became the highest-grossing tour of all time.
Taylor Swift was the number one artist on radio for 2023 and won many music industry awards.
Even though the singer is occupying social media, radio, and TV. There are a few things that people can do to limit the amount of 'swiftie' exposure they get while scrolling on Facebook.
Unfollowing and unliking pages that cover the singer are excellent ways to eliminate mentions on your Facebook Feed.
Hide comments containing the words 'Taylor Swift'.
Then go to 'Profile and Tagging' and click on 'Hide comments containing certain words from your profile.
' Type 'Taylor Swift,' tap '+' and then hit 'save'.
Now is an excellent time to hit that snooze button for 30 days and get Facebook to help you ignore their content for a month.
If snoozing does not work, try unfollowing or unfriending the Facebook friends flooding your timeline with irrelevant content.
If you are a Facebook page/group owner and you've had enough, ban the words.
Like hiding comments from your profile page, you can ban words on your page and/or Facebook group.
Hiding irrelevant content and stories from your feed helps Facebook know you are not interested in Taylor Swift.
The easiest way to teach the Facebook algorithm that you don't care much about pop culture is by hitting the 'X' on the post that covers the unappealing news.
This is another way to get Taylor Swift away from your timeline for good.
It is hard to clean up a Facebook timeline from things you don't want to see.
If you do not wish to receive notifications for posts that include specific words or see posts with those words in your Home timeline, you can go to your profile and follow the below;.
