'T' is the second letter of the name 'Stan', the obsessed superfan in the song.

Stanley is a toponymic surname, a contraction of stan (a form of "stone") and leigh (meadow), later also being used as a masculine given name.

It's a reference to the name Stanley, 'stan' is the signature at the end of letters being read in the song
