Imperial Eras: A Taylor Swift Studies Reading List

“This reading list collects pieces from the last decade that use Taylor Swift as a muse, a conduit, a springboard, or a punching bag in service of the authors’ own journeys. They demonstrate how, as Taylor’s Swiftdom grows, so too do the opportunities to use her as a lens through which we can project any number of issues—gender, race, identity, authenticity—and witness the prismatic results, a “kaleidoscope of loud heartbeats under coats,” an easter egg waiting to be unwrapped. She’s a mirrorball, after all, reflecting every version of ourselves.“

Today at Longreads, Jill Spivey Caddell takes a deep dive into the phenomenon that is Taylor Swift Studies.

saw a thing that said the most common subject/verb pairing in Taylor’s discography is not “I feel” or “I think” but “I know” I will be thinking about this for the next 13 business days thank you

«devil» you call me

but seem to be enjoying

the fruits of my labour that came to me too young

when he stole my virtue

I'm glad it seems to serve you

that I was born a daughter and not a son

for if I’m going down

I guess I’ll take you with me

screaming birds sound an awful lot like singing

and I will tell you now

that I’m not even singing

there’s no escape for some

what if we were two tragically fucked up lesbian vampires in 1940s paris and kissed

and what if 70 years later we were too far gone to bring back to life and definitely needing a divorce

and what if there was love somewhere in us all along

EVER BEEN SO IN LOVE YOU MIGHT STOP BREATHING? If you fall for Twentieth Century Fox's latest villainess, well, you just might! Taylor Swift stars as "The Slut!" a manipulative and calculated seductress who lures men to their death with her feminine wiles.
