The Circle during the early phases of COVID while in quarantine. He and his niece and nephew would then chat about it over Zoom. Like many of us, Swift became obsessed with the show, prompting him to submit an application for the second season.
“I sent all my information up,” he says. “And then after I did that, they said, ‘OK, now send us a video,’ and I was like, ‘Oh, I don t want to do that.’
Swift says he waited about a month and a half, and finally got an email, which he recalls said something along the lines of Hey, send us your video, we re interested.
