Massachusetts has a new governor, Maura Healey. She was recently sworn in and is now the head of the state government. Her inauguration was a big event, with many people showing up to support her. Healey is the first woman to hold this position in Massachusetts, making history in the process. She has a lot of experience in law and politics, having previously served as the state's attorney general. With her new role, she will be responsible for making decisions that affect the lives of millions of people in Massachusetts.

There is a possibility that Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey is a fan of Taylor Swift.

The governor of Bay State made a humorous remark on social media on Friday following the release of Taylor Swift's latest album "THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT" at 2 in the morning. Healey implied that fans of the famous American singer-songwriter in the state may have a particular cause for rejoicing over the new album.

The confidential two-disc album has surged in fame and is now the most played album in a day on Spotify. This has also pushed Taylor Swift to become the most streamed artist in one day ever on Spotify.

The next portion of the record is made up of 15 tunes, and among them is a track called "So Long, London," which was the subject of Healey's humorous remark. The governor drew attention to the album's release date of April 19, which is seen as the beginning of the American Revolution.

In his blog post, Healey has shared a video that showcases individuals acting out the historic Boston Tea Party demonstration.

The video displays the caption "Massachusetts Swift fans playing So Long, London on the 249th celebration of the American Revolution." In addition, the song "Yankee Doodle," which is one of America's ancient marching melodies, is heard.

"Healey says she's all set for it," the post caption reads.

Even though the occurrence of the Boston Tea Party was on December 16, 1773, the acknowledgment of the 249th commemoration of the American Revolution is pointing towards the event called the "Shot Heard 'Round the World."

The Battle of Lexington and Concord took place on April 19, 1775, when British troops initiated their approach towards the Old North Bridge and encountered the initial line of Colonial minutemen.

According to the website of the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum, a gunfire occurred, but it remains uncertain who initiated the first shot. In any case, more shots followed. Eventually, when the conflict came to an end, eight American individuals passed away while ten others suffered injuries.

Many believe that the commencement of the Revolutionary War can be traced back to this significant battle.
