From Taylor Swift to ‘Harry Potter’: these celebrities were born in the Year of the Snake

In the Chinese zodiac, the Year of the Snake recurs every 12 years, with recent cycles including 1965, 1977, 1989, and 2001. Individuals born under this sign are often described as intelligent, charming, and graceful, though sometimes perceived as reserved. The snake symbolizes wisdom and intuition, traits that many famous personalities embody.

Swift has become a global music sensation, known for her storytelling prowess and record-breaking albums.
