Taylor Swift By The Book Pt. 2 (Lover - TTPD)

Besties, welcome back for part two of Mia’s deep dive into Taylor Swift’s literary influences! With Karly still off living her best life in Australia, Mia takes the mic solo to continue unpacking the insights from Taylor Swift By The Book: The Literature Behind the Lyrics, From Fairy Tales to Tortured Poets by Rachel Feder and Tiffany Tatreau. 

This time, she’s covering the emotional rollercoaster of Lover, the poetic heartbreak of Folklore and Evermore, the gothic depths of Midnights, and the raw vulnerability of The Tortured Poets Department. From sentimentalism to postmodernism, Mia explores how Taylor’s lyrics include literary allusions and how these albums have shaped her own life. If you’ve ever screamed “You’re On Your Own, Kid” on a solo drive or sobbed to “Champagne Problems” after a breakup, this episode is for you.
