[Tom] Swifties, Pseudo-[Tom-]Swifties, and assorted other pundacity

[Also]

A recent discussion of lit versus lighted and shone versus shined led me to the thought that it would clearly be shined for polishing shoes.

And I began to wonder what you call that. It's not a Tom Swifty, I suppose, because nothing is quoted. Nor does it appear to be a wellerism. Nor is it quite a pun — or is it, perhaps?

Anyway, it appears there is no thread for collecting Swifties, pseudo-Swifties, and assorted pundacity, so let's let this be that.

So you aren't sporting a Taylor Swift for President pin?

Tsk, my child, politics...

My daughter went to a concert with a friend who is a Swiftie. Daughter is not, but she gamely dressed in sequins and went to the TS concert since the friend had gone to a Pink concert with her once uon a time. Daughter said she had an absolute blast.
