Katie points out how the parallels of Zelda Fitzgerald's similar battles to Taylor's as a female writer, and their shared ghostwriting experiences. Sticking with the American Lit theme of Taylor's F. Scott Fitzgerald quote, the archers revisit the incredible sapphic poet that inspires Taylor's quill pen, Emily Dickinson. They compare Taylor's writing in the folklore prologue to two poems about secrets by Dickinson and find that they sing about the same skies full of secrets. Finally, they go through *all* of Taylor's lyrics about hiding, sneaking around, secrets, whispering, covering things up, and lying... Which go back to the beginning of her career.</p> <p>This podcast is not affiliated with Taylor Swift, her companies, or affiliated companies. All opinions are our own.
