In this episode, I break down why Taylor Swift is the ultimate “Pick Me” — from her dating history and victim narrative to her new lyrics like “I’m not a bad b*tch / and this isn’t savage.” We’ll talk about how Taylor built her image on innocence, selective feminism, and palatable white womanhood, and why fans are finally starting to call it out.
I analyze songs like “You Belong With Me,” “Dear John,” “All Too Well,” “Look What You Made Me Do,” “Anti-Hero,” “Bejeweled,” “Opalite,” and “Eldest Daughter,” connecting them to her pattern of public victimhood and her relationships with Joe Jonas, John Mayer, Jake Gyllenhaal, Joe Alwyn, and Travis Kelce.
From her long history of turning heartbreak into PR to the recent Kayla Nicole controversy, we’re unpacking how Taylor’s “good girl” image has become the most profitable brand in pop culture — and what it says about feminism, privilege, and the illusion of empowerment.
If you’ve ever asked:
✨ Why does Taylor Swift always play the victim?
✨ Is Taylor Swift a feminist — or a feminist only for white women?
✨ What do her new lyrics really mean?
This video breaks it all down.
