Title: How JoAnna Garcia Swisher Is Keeping Her Outlander Obsession Alive in English
As an avid fan of the time-traveling romance series Outlander, actress JoAnna Garcia Swisher (also known for her roles in Pretty Little Liars and 90210) can’t get enough of the Scottish Highlands and the adventures of Claire and Jamie Fraser. As a member of the Outlander fandom, she’s shared her passion for the show with her 1.5 million Instagram followers, often reposting fan art, fan fiction, and behind-the-scenes tidbits. But what’s next for this devoted fan?
In an exclusive interview with [Your Publication], Garcia Swisher reveals her latest obsession: singing with the 1725 Sons of Scotland Pipe Band at the BassLine Festival in Los Angeles. For the non-instrument-playing fan, this might seem like a departure from her Outlander fandom, but for Garcia Swisher, it’s a natural extension of her love for the show.
"The music is so transporting," she gushes. "It brings me back to the world of Outlander, where music is a language that transcends time. The pipes, in particular, evoke the same sense of longing and nostalgia that I get when watching Claire and Jamie’s story unfold on screen."
As an American actress with a Latin heritage, Garcia Swisher is grateful for the medium’s ability to connect people across cultures. "Outlander has introduced me to a global community that shares my passion for storytelling. The fandom is incredibly diverse, and I love seeing how fans from different walks of life come together to share their love for the show," she says.
To keep the Outlander flame alive in her life, Garcia Swisher has taken to immersing herself in Scottish culture. She’s learned traditional Scottish dances, like the sword and plaid, and even attempted (albeit not successfully) to make her own bannocks and scones. Her kitchen now doubles as a mini Outlander set, with props like the iconic Red Coats and Scottish flags adorning the walls.
"It’s not just about the characters or the plot; it’s about the world they inhabit. I want to bring a piece of that world back to my daily life," she explains. "When I’m acting, I draw inspiration from my own experiences, and Outlander has taught me to appreciate the beauty in the smallest details—like the way the light falls on a tartan fabric or the way the sound of bagpipes can bring people together."
Garcia Swisher’s commitment to the Outlander fandom has earned her a spot as one of the franchise’s most dedicated and enthusiastic followers. When fans converge at cons and meet-and-greets, they can often spot her sporting a tartan scarf or a Claire-inspired costume, beaming with excitement to meet fellow fans and share her love for the series.
For Garcia Swisher, the Outlander fandom has become a way of life, with her passion for the show influencing her creative output, personal relationships, and everyday habits. Love is strong, and for this actress, her attachment to Outlander has brought a new level of depth and purpose to her life. As she returns to the small screen with upcoming projects, she knows her love for Outlander will continue to guide her, inspiring her performances and captivating her audience.
