The notion that "Swag Surfing" was invented by Taylor Swift is simply not true. The concept of swag surfing likely originated from the musical group Fast Life Yungstaz when they released their song 'Swag Surfin' in early 2009.

This isn’t true as Swag Surfin’ was invented by Fast Life Youngstaz in 2009, and Taylor Swift has no affiliation with them.
