Lead research writer Derek Hennen is a self-proclaimed Swiftie and intended to recognize the singer. He was a doctoral candidate at Virginia Technology in Blacksburg at the time of the research study.
"Her music has obtained me with tough times, and also it's type of a good little thanks I can provide for the delight her music has brought me," Hennen said.
Hennen located the Appalachian millipede in Fall Creek Falls State Park in Spencer, Tennessee, the same state Swift moved to as a young adult to pursue her singing career.
