Taylor Swift - Vulture

Taylor Swift

Like a champion tennis player or a wizened clockmaker, Taylor Swift has been training all her life to be the artisan she is today. Maybe her progression from writing songs about storybook romances to songs about not fitting into antiquated gender roles went swimmingly because it dovetails with a larger ideological shift, from the dream of picket-fenced, pastoral living to a simpler fantasy: the desire to be truly free. — Craig JenkinsMidnights’ Moonlit Lessons
