I got a reverse perfecto too. Was your last word the one inside the spangram?  I spotted the spangram before it, but held off playing it so I could get  r.p.

I once tried using "chicken" as a password, but was told it must contain a capital so I tried "chickenkiev"
On another occasion, I tried "beefstew", but was told it wasn't stroganoff.

Reverse perfecto.

Although the first word I found didn't appear to have anything to do with the theme.

Not even trying. I know nothing of Swift - other than that she is a global sensation.

Her work has completely passed me by.
