US EditionFrom Taylor Swift to Lil Durk: Luigi Mangione Reportedly Changes His Prison Music Playlist on Demand of Fellow Inmate
Mangione, awaiting trial for a CEO's killing, broadened his music preferences in jail, switching from Taylor Swift to rapper Lil Durk with help from a fellow inmate.
- On October 28, 2025, Luigi Mangione disclosed in a handwritten letter shared by The Mangione Trial that he is expanding his music taste while awaiting trial for the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
- After a phony list circulated online, Mangione said he downloaded a bunch of Taylor Swift and Charli XCX songs to his tablet last week to see what all the hype was about.
- A fellow inmate known as King intervened after spotting Mangione listening to Taylor Swift's song 'Cardigan' and swapped it with Lil Durk's 2013 song 'Dis Ain't What U Want'.
- Arthur Aidala said Mangione has been a model prisoner in the 10 months since his arrest, and a federal judge allowed him a laptop while inmates at MDC Brooklyn buy internet-free tablets.
- His legal team alleges that the Manhattan District Attorney's Office fraudulently accessed his medical records, and court records show he faces 11 state counts and four federal charges after his December 9 apprehension.
