Luigi Mangione Enjoys Taylor Swift and Charli XCX Music in Jail
Luigi Mangione is serving time at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. He recently shared his evolving music preferences during his incarceration. Surprisingly, he found himself listening to tunes from pop icons Taylor Swift and Charli XCX.
New Musical Interests
In a letter shared online, Mangione revealed he downloaded songs from both artists, despite having little prior exposure to their work. This change in taste was prompted by a viral social media post that allegedly misrepresented his favorite musicians.
Among the songs he mentioned, Swift’s “Cardigan” stood out as particularly impactful. Mangione shared that he even listened to it while walking laps within the prison facility.
A Change in Playlist
However, his musical journey took an unexpected turn thanks to another inmate known as “King.” After learning about Luigi’s song choices, King ridiculed him and introduced a new playlist that featured the rapper Lil Durk.
Gratitude Behind Bars
- Luigi expressed gratitude for various aspects of prison life.
- He appreciates the meals provided.
- He values the letters he receives from fans.
Legal Troubles
Luigi Mangione faces serious legal challenges as he is charged with the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. This incident occurred on December 4, 2024, in Midtown Manhattan.
If convicted in the federal case, he could face the death penalty for the murder committed with a firearm. His representatives have opted not to comment further on the situation.
