Swifties vs. The World

== Summary ==
Gauntlet: Swifties vs. The World is the thirteenth season of The Gauntlet.
== Format ==
The cast held sixteen players and returned to the classic 8v8 format. Four returning players were on each tribe and they were accompanied by four new players. Their tribes were assigned based on their admiration for Taylor Swift. Passionate Swifties and casual Swifties were on the Swifites Tribe whereas Non-Swifties and Taylor Haters ended up on the Variety Tribe. The merge occurred at ten players left. The season ended with three finalists and a jury of seven.
