Taylor just announced her new album: The Life of a Showgirl. In this blog, I review the ways she’s written about performances, scenes, and stages throughout years of her lyrics.

Color is integral to Taylor’s creative landscape, shaping how we relate to and view each of her eras. After the purchase of her masters, I analyze the relationship between black, white, and her relationship with the media.

Down Bad is notably about a toxic relationship and getting love bombed. While many view this as a romantic relationship, I suggest how this might instead be about the abusive nature of life in the spotlight.

In this blog, I review the language of different plants and flowers and in Taylor Swift’s songs. Analysis is inspired by the Victorian language of flowers and how bouquets were used to covertly communicate messages to lovers.

I watched Gone Girl for the first time and reflected on how its themes of fame, expectations, and relationships relates to Taylor Swift’s newest album, The Tortured Poets Department. 

Love is Taylor Swift’s religion and guiding force, but how does her scheming and affect her fate? What happens when Taylor thinks she can play god?

While building the charts on Tableau, I gathered some initial insights on her versions of Red, Speak Now, and 1989.
